“Went above and beyond for the longest trip yet! Our pets were calm and excited to see us, and we can tell they were given the best of care as always”
2. Penelope R.
“Penelope watched our pets during our wedding weekend! She was great in person and with our pets while we were away. She sent pictures during every walk and left great notes for us. 100% recommend! ?”
3. Caroline T.
“Caroline is such an awesome top notch pet sitter. I’m so glad we found her! I was looking for someone not too far away from us to make it easier on everyone and she responded right away and with short notice, like one day because I’m a procrastinator. She was great and sent several photos and notes about every check in. Always in communication. My 9 year old daughter left homework for our dog and kitten and some of her stuffies wanting to play teacher and Caroline entertained her make believe school and made sure everyone “did their homework” and left a sweet note from the substitute teacher on how the students did. It was very kind. We’re so grateful and felt comfortable leaving our new young kitten and barky chihuahua at home. She is familiar with chihuahuas so knew just how to handle him and he felt more comfortable the more she came. It was a relief for me. Both our pets are rescues. Caroline is a real professional, has a great sense about animals and great with both dogs and cats. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worry knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you, Caroline!”
