We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!

As always amazing! I will leave a review every single time Mark and His family watch our dog. They’re so good with him I’m sure he looks at them as his family now lol. Left our puppy with them for 10 days while on vaca and Mark checked in and of course had no issues. Thank you as always Mark and Family.

About: I've always had a deep love for animals, I've cared for dogs of all breeds and ages, giving them attention and afection, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy! I work from home part-time, so this easily allows me to look after and keep an eye on your pets, as well as attend to all their needs. In my home🐾 i have a very friendly Frenchie and he would love to having a friend to play, i provide a warm and safe environment where your dog can feel happy! I stick to their usual routine, feeding times, walks, playtime and rest. Pets have acces to cozzy sleeping spots, and supervised outdoor time. I always can send you photos and updates so you can feel connected while you're away.

Elizabeth took amazing care of our dog Mylo. She is very friendly and loves animals. She kept us posted during his stay with videos, pictures, and updates on how he was doing. She also has a huge yard for our dog to enjoy. The report card at the end of his stay was super cute! Absolutely would recommend and we will definitely be booking with Elizabeth in the future!

Christopher was very accommodating and flexible. He went out of his way to pick up Cameo at a more ideal timing prior to my departure for my work trip. He sent daily updates and pictures of Cameo playing and answered any questions that I had. Cameo got lots of play time and came home happy and exhausted :)

We couldn’t have been happier with Bri, who took such great care of Mack for us. She kept in touch, sent pup pics, and showed concern for allergies when our dog decided he was hungry and ate her tray of sushi. Most people could’ve gotten really mad, yet Bri showed genuine concern for his health and wellbeing. We won’t hesitate to book with her in the future!

Lori is great with our cats. She doesn’t just stop by to feed them; she brushes them and plays with them too. She goes out of her way to make sure their routine is maintained as much as possible while we’re away and we greatly appreciate it.

Andrea was super nice and managed to accomodate our last-minute Christmas booking. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, and our dogs looked quite happy and relaxed. Her house has a fenced-in area that they loved to play in. Most impressive of all, though, was that Andrea let the dogs into her bedroom (they are used to sleeping next to us), on Christmas no less. Our dogs seemed in great shape when we picked them up after their 3 day stay. She seems to be a very caring and careful dog sitter. We would have no hesitation in our leaving our dogs with her again. Thanks!

Brianna and her girlfriend are the best! She was incredibly communicative, responsive, and took amazing care of my boys. While she was watching Simba, it happened to be his birthday, and she went above and beyond by getting him a gift, celebrating him, and making sure he was spoiled with treats all day. She was also great about sending pictures and updates, which I absolutely loved. The dogs adjusted right away and truly made themselves at home - literally. Simba took over the couch, and Wes claimed her dog's bed as his own. I would recommend Brianna 1,000 times over and will definitely be booking with her again!

Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.

It was Roo’s first time away from us and I was super worried about leaving her when I went out of town, however Tharshana Eased, those worries right away! I was sent pictures of Roo several times a day and I was contacted right away with questions and every time that I reach out I got a prompt response by day one I had already felt comfortable that my fur baby was in good hands. I will be for sure. Sending Roo back whenever I need to go out of town. I cannot recommend him enough!!! Roo had such a fun time with Tharshana and his fur baby they took walks went to the dog park played a lot and I got to see all of it! So awesome!!! Thank you so much and Roo thanks you too!!
