“Parker has watched my cat and puppy multiple times while I’ve traveled, as well as checking in on them during long days away. He is an excellent communicator and sends lots of pictures of my fur babies. It’s clear when you see him interact with an animal, he truly enjoys spending time with them. His face lights up every time I drop off my babies.”

Thank you so much Woody for your kindness, care and communication!”

You can tell Alice is an amazing caregiver and person and I felt totally comfortable having her stay in my home and take care of my best friend. Will definitely book again and highly recommend for your dog/housesitting needs!”

Penny had a great time and I was able to enjoy the event knowing that she was being taken care of.”
