1. Javon L.
“Javon is always so great with my pups! I am confident they are being cared for and loved while I’m out and there are always wonderful pictures at the end of the day. Highly recommend!”


2. Kassy D.

“I can't recommend Kassy highly enough! She did an exceptional job taking care of Bella. Kassy was incredibly detailed in her updates, providing thorough reports and sending plenty of pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Bella was clearly well taken care of, and we're so grateful for Kassy's attentive care”


3. Troy D.

“Troy was awesome with Asher!! Left very detailed feedback, and got him some much needed exercise during the day while I'm gone. Asher was very tired after, which is the goal! I have no complaints and would recommend to anyone looking to supplement some socialization and exercise for their pets.”


4. Monica D.

“Monica was fabulous ! My dogs warmed up to her very quickly. From an owner side, i was very comfortable because Monica left detailed notes and pictures for each drop in visit.”


5. Morgan H.

“Dachshunds approved. I booked Morgan for drop in visits while we were out of town. I was kind of nervous on how my 2 judgy wienerdogs would do, but somehow she won them over, and the pictures she sent proved it. So happy it all worked out.”


6. Tanya H.
“Tanya took great care of our two cats while we were away! She stopped in to give them some love each day and provided us with nice updates and photos. We will absolutely rebook with her in the future!”


7. Andrea M.

“Andrea has been amazing, our dogs can be a lot and be very hyper. She plays fetch, gives them water and feeds them breakfast. She even takes the time to clean up if our dogs manage to escape out of the kennel and make a mess ( they counter surf). She Leaves a report card every time and sends lots of pics with just the hour she’s at our house. I would recommended Andrea 10/10!”




8. Cory G.

“We just returned from a 2 week trip, and Cory provided care for our 5 cats. He did a fabulous job! 3 of the cats were elusive, but the other 2 warmed up to him. He saw to all of their needs, and also fed the birds and squirrels for us. He did all we asked of him, and I was confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend Cory, and will reach out to him for future needs. Thank you, Cory for the great job.”


9. Lisa W.

“We booked Lisa last minute and she made it a point to come to our house to meet Murphy prior to the visits. Her visits went very well and she provided us with great info and photos. Murphy loved her! We’ll definitely book with Lisa in the future.”


10. Gretchen B.
“Gretchen is absolutely great with dogs. Very friendly and personable, and she is very responsive and responsible. Highly recommend her services for dog walking or sitting!”


11. Allison G.

“Allison was a fantastic sitter for our cat Millie! She was very attentive and communicative throughout our trip with daily updates. I knew that Millie was in good hands and she sure showed it once we returned home. Will book again!”


12. Jenea V.


“Jenae did a wonderful job taking care of our senior cat, Daisy. I highly recommend her. She played with her and let her drink fresh water from the sink which she loves.”


13. Kevin R.
“I have known Kevin for many years. I shared 4 dogs in the past with him. He was a great dog dad and is very caring to animals and takes care of their needs.”




14. Natasha A.

“Natasha has watched my 3 dogs several times now and she's been great each time. Always takes my one (more energetic) dog for a walk and gives cuddles all around. One of my dogs requires medication as well which is very important for him to have properly and I feel confident she gets it done right every time, unlike experiences I've had with some other sitters. She's always the first one I ask if I need a pet sitter, highly recommend.”


15. Coleman R.
“Coleman has taken care of our dogs for over 8 years. He is very dependable and we can always count on him. He is always up for playing, walking, or snuggling our girls. One of our dogs has medical needs and he is comfortable giving the medicine and making sure it is timed correctly. Our girls love when Coleman walks in the door, he is one of their favorite people. I highly recommend Coleman for all of your pet needs!”


16. Courtney C.


“Courtney was great. Very prompt with her responses and Paxton (my dog) looked to be having a great time in the numerous pictures she had sent on their walk. I would highly recommend her to anyone who does want to have to worry about what hands they are leaving their dog in!”


17. Torina G.

“Torina was lovely with our pups. It’s always reassuring to know that your furry friends are well taken care of while away. I highly recommend Torina for your pet care needs!”


18. Andrew & Jackson G.

“These guys are amazing. I have a big Blue Great Dane and my dog loves them. They are attentive to him and his needs. Great communication with the guys too. They send pics and great reviews of the day with my dog.”


19. Alison J.

“Alison is great!”


20. Katherine P.
About: 1 year of professional dog and cat daycare and boarding experience. 2 years of dog and cat fostering including disabled kittens. Current loving home of 2 cats and a dog. I'm currently living at home after high-school and am unemployed. I used to work at a dog and cat daycare and boarding facility, but decided I wanted to make my own schedule. I'm not very social besides with animals so my schedule is open and flexible. I own 2 cats and a dog so I'm unable to board or pet sit at my own house, but I can travel to your house and look after your furry friend in an environment I'm sure they're more comfortable in anyway.
