“Brittany was amazing! She watched our three dogs overnight. They absolutely loved her and immediately accepted her as part of their family. She arranged, on her own time, to come and meet the dogs, and me, before she accepted the job to be sure it was a good fit. While we were away she kept us updated by sending us many pictures and letting us know how the dogs were doing. If she had any questions, she asked us for clarification. I would highly recommend Brittany and we will be asking her to watch our pack again I am sure.”

“I have a 12 year old dog and a 12 year old cat. The dog is pretty sick and needs very specific care and Jessica went above and beyond for both of them! You can tell she really cares deeply for the animals she takes care of. She sends very helpful updates, is very attentive to their needs and my pets already miss her.”

“Ethan is amazing! Hands down best person that could’ve watched Joey! He did everything possible to make sure i was comfortable throughout the day and made sure Joey had the best time under his care. He ran with Joey when he wanted to sprint, allowed him time to play outside and sniff around, made sure he ate, etc. I couldn’t be happier.”

“Morgan: has our complete trust to care for our dog Maddy and cat Charley. She is a good communicator, is a person who cares for pets and treats them like her own. Morgan is poised and responsible and someone we are comfortable leaving in charge of our home. She has watched our pets periodically for several years and does the little things to make them comfortable when we are away. Our dog Maddy knows her name and gets excited when we tell her Morgan is coming by! Without hesitation we can recommend Morgan.”

“Emily was "better than advertised"..meaning that she went over and above to take care of Oscar. Emily asked all the right questions and was clearly attentive to Oscar's personality and behavior. Emily also has a family dog and this is a great asset when dog-sitting other dogs. We got frequent updates whie away for the weekend and we fely entirely comfortable with Emily staying at the house. We live on a private dirt road cul-de-sac with few houses, so while it is quiet and peaceful, it can be a little intimidating come nightfall. Fortunately our two closest neighbors have dogs and they were both willing to help Emily, if necessary. Very happy to have "discovered" Emily !”

“Amanda was absolutely amazing. She was so kind to accept our last minute request and she went above and beyond to ensure we and our furbaby felt comfortable. She followed our long list of instructions to a T and sent us tons of photo and video updates (which as totally obsessed dog parents, we appreciated so much!!). We will absolutely be using Amanda again, and highly recommend her!”
