Piper has barely moved since we picked her up from Amy's yesterday! She rode home in the backseat with her head on her pillow. We've never seen her so tired! She obviously had an active 3 days with Amy and some exhausting fun! We were not sure how she would do without us because Piper is very attached to her people. Amy was aware of this and kept us updated on how she was doing by way of text messages and pictures. I could see in the pictures that Piper was having fun through what appeared to be a smile on her face! Amy responds very quickly to messages, keeps in daily contact and is organized with her approach. Amy even sent homemade treats home with Piper! We are very pleased with our experience and will use Amy again when needed!

I am more than pleased with the ❤️ and care DAMACIA provided for my 3 months puppy. I would recommend her and we will be going back. Was a little nervous at first, but she reassured me he would be fine even around other Fur Babies.

Hilary and Wally are great. They are super easy to communicate with, and when our plans are not definite they work with us on pick up and drop off times. They have a fenced in back yard, and our dog loves it there. Hilary is also great about sending pictures during his stay.

Bailey absolutely loved Terry! When I picked him up, he was happy too see me, but he still ran to her and gave her lots of goodbye love. I will definitely use Terry again!!! She kept me updated and sent pics. I was also very impressed that she noticed that Bailey had a cough and called me immediately. I'm doing grateful that Terry took care of my baby as as her own.

Ashley was absolutely amazing with Onyx over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday! She kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout my time away, which gave me so much peace of mind. Onyx loved playing with her kids and looked so adorable cuddling with everyone, it was clear he felt right at home. When Onyx struggled a bit at night and was barking, Ashley was incredibly patient and kind. She reached out to ask for advice and even allowed calming treats to be dropped off while I was away, which I truly appreciated. She followed all of my special instructions perfectly, including giving him his Christmas presents on Christmas Day and feeding him a special holiday meal. I’m so grateful for the love and care she showed Onyx and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 4 years and have a huge heart when it comes to animals! I’m here to put your mind at ease while you’re away from your pet. I’m a teacher, so my summers are free to help you out with your pups! I am happy to check in, walk, or play with your pet when needed. Also, all my tips go towards getting my students more books for them! :) I can assure you that your pet will be in safe hands while at my apartment. I will make sure they are fed appropriately, taken out, and walked multiple times.

Ross and Ava are fabulous sitters! This was my dog’s first time staying with them and their sweet dog, George, and I was wondering if Reggie would want to come home with me after being taken care of so well! 😊 Ross & Ava were great with providing updates and also being mindful of the heat for walks. Finding a sitter can be such a stressful process but Ross & Ava were great with coordinating a meet and greet beforehand and putting my mind at ease. Your pet will be in great hands!

I am so happy that I boarded my dog and my cat with Jakiya during my most recent trip out of state. For the 10 days she watched them, I could not possibly have asked for better care than they received. Jakiya is great about communication and sent pics and videos every day, and so I had complete peace of mind. And that, in and of itself, helped make my trip a good one. I can tell Jakiya loves animals, and her calm and friendly manner definitely helped both pets feel at ease. I feel that's particularly important to note because my cat is blind, and while he's a seasoned traveler he doesn't always relax quickly in new places. I'm also appreciative that Jakiya has a fenced yard, and I know my dog felt the same way! I never look forward to leaving my pets behind, but having great care for them makes me a lot more comfortable when traveling. I'll absolutely be checking in with Jakiya next time I have a trip to plan!
