Not able to edit my original post so I'll put a new one. We have been using Robert since we got our puppy and he continues to be awesome. Excellent communication and Luna loves him. Has been very flexible and helpful during a crazy time.

Jenevieve is a literal angel. She was just supposed to do a drop-in to see Deku and let him out. My A/C went out the night before the scheduled visit and it’s was 100 degrees outside. Jenevieve took him to her home to watch him for the day while I was at work. If it wasn’t for her, Deku would definitely not be okay! She saved the day and saved me from so much stress during my first day at my new job! A literal lifesaver!

Kiara did an amazing job with our kitties while we were away for a few days. She was an excellent communicator, kind and very easy to work with, and our cats took to her immediately (even our suspicious younger one!). We have an older cat with some medical needs and Kiara put our minds fully at ease with her extensive experience fostering and caring for numerous animals. I would highly recommend her!

Jessica was a lifesaver on short notice. She took great care of our babies and sent photos. We got a super cute letter from the kitties :) It was nice to know they were loved on in our absence!

Brad was top notch, we’re so happy we found him! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back home from vacation. Brad was punctual and we didn’t have to worry at all with our dogs in his hands. In fact, we immediately booked again with Brad and look forward to having him back. Thank you so much, Brad!

Carena has cared for my dog Cooper. She did a wonderful job taking care of him. She inquired about specific things he liked and sent me pictures of him while I was away so I knew what a fun time he was having. She has three dogs off her own that are her babies. She is very knowledgeable in how to care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I know that my dog is in great hands when Carena cares for him!

Ella. Is. Amazing!!!! She did such a great job with our pups while we were away for a quick trip to KC. We usually travel with our dogs but this time we decided to have her check in on them three times a day and it worked out great! We set up a Ring camera in the house so we could watch them and one dog in particular, has some hip issues and we were worried about keeping him in a crate around the clock. It became obvious that he would be more comfortable out of the crate so Ella made that adjustment. She walked them, fed them, played with them in the snow and sent us pics of their adventures. I would HIGHLY recommend Ella for any of your pet care needs. ❤️❤️❤️

Priscilla loves dogs and happy helped us raise our litter of Great Pyrenees/Red Bone Coon Hound puppies. She was helpful in setting up our puppy area and keeping it clean. She came and helped me keep the puppies and Mom on their feeding schedule and did all our other chores as well. She lives her own animals and is very positive person.
