“Shelby was wonderful. You can tell how much she loves doing this. I’m sure if our dogs could speak they would ask to see Shelby everyday. We would love have Shelby care for our pets again. Highly recommended.”

“Sydney took great care of our kitties while we were away! Our cats can be particular with their people, so it was great to hear the updates and see the photos of our cats and Sydney getting along. They were absolutely well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.”


“Stephanie is the most caring and attentive dog helper! She leaves great updates after each visit, helps train my puppy and always gives me great feedback on puppy training and caring. She communicates so well and is always timely. Highly recommended!”

“I am so grateful and appreciative to Kellen for taking care of my cat Cedar over the winter holidays. He instantly bonded with Cedar and helped put my mind at ease while I was gone. He was always thoroughly communicating with me throughout the visits and updating/adapting along the way like when she had tummy problems and we had to adjust her diet. He was accommodating and understanding to her needs as a deaf cat and really made sure she was well-taken care of.”

“Tina is always fantastic! She’s conscientious, kind, and my kitty loves her. She was kind enough to come on very short notice to take care of my sweet boy and I cannot thank her enough!”

“Sally is so great, and we’ve trusted her with our pets for years!! She always gives detailed updates and plenty of pics. She’s super caring and dependable, and we really appreciate having her be there for us!!”

“Becky was wonderful with our 4-month-old puppy, Theo! She made me feel completely assured that he was in good hands from start to finish. She took him outside for potty breaks, played with him, and made sure he was tired out and comfortable before putting him back in his crate. Her communication was excellent, and we loved all the photos she sent during the visit. Thank you again, Becky — we truly appreciate your care!”

“Can’t say enough about Rachel! She responded quickly and was very professional while taking care of my pup. Hosted a meet and greet prior to get comfortable with the surrounding and my dog, so awesome! Was really in a pinch for a sitter, and she really came through. Thank you Rachel!”

“Lori is incredible! She sends amazing pictures and updates! She is very flexible with her schedule as well! She doesn’t leave any mess for us to come home to which is so great! She truly cares about our little guy!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care and affection Chentel gives to my cats and my home. She is a wonderfully kind and incredibly responsible person. I feel blessed to have found her.”

“This was our second time booking with Kristen, and once again, she was amazing! She stepped in last minute, just a day before, and gave our dogs the same love and care as always. It’s such a relief knowing we can count on her, even on short notice. Our pups were happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. We’re so grateful for her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”

“We are so grateful for Sadie allowing us to have a FULL day out without a worry about our buddy Dobby. She was even kind enough to come back later in the day when our plans ran longer. He was so well cared for and I am so thankful for Sadie’s attentiveness, promptness, and for snuggling our fur baby. Highly recommend Sadie to help with your furry children!!!!!”

“I wouldn’t hesitate to use Sarah again. My senior kitty greeted her at the door and she sent lots of pictures. I was glad to see that he was happy. I’m very happy with her service!”

“Maureen took great care of our kitties while we were out of town. Our cats are not always the most welcoming of new people and they both took well to her. She played with them and followed all the instructions provided. When we got home, we could tell they were well loved and cared for. She also provided photos everyday which we appreciated greatly!”

My cats love Tina! When we finally got home from our trip they looked at us and we could almost hear them thinking, “Your not Tina! We want Tina!!” She gives them lots of love and they always look forward to her visit. She is super flexible and didn’t mind us changing our schedule at the last minute.

So happy!! I cannot thank Stephanie enough! I had an emergency and really needed someone to check in on my sweet boy, and Stephanie answered so quickly, made herself flexible to accommodate my situation, and went above and beyond to care for Jack, even cleaning areas of potential hazards so he couldn't get into anything. This is the type of peace of mind you want when you're away and can't get to your pet as needed. Will definitely be using her services again!
