1. Courtny N.

“This is the 2nd time we have had Courtny do drop-in visits with our dog, Brody. She is always on time and is great about sending photos and letting us know how it is going. She takes him for walks and throws his ball for him. I would recommend Courtny and we will definitely use her again!”


2. Trudy J.

“Trudy was timely and professional, spent time playing with/petting my cats while I was away! It is nice to have somebody give them human interaction rather than a stop and go. Would book again!”


3. Melissa W.

“Melissa was fantastic! There was instant connection between our dogs and her during the initial meetup and like everyone says, dogs know a good person. She went above and beyond and kept me in the loop during her drop ins. Our pups were treated so well! We will be contacting her again.”


4. Olivia G.

“Olivia was fantastic! She sent daily pictures, thorough updates and cleaned up any messes my cats made. She is so sweet and genuine. It’s always a little nerve wracking trying a new sitter for your animals but she made me feel at ease right away and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone.”


5. Page W.

“Page was so wonderful! She took amazing care of my dog and gave him lots of love and sent me lots of photos! I 10/10 recommend Page and I will 100% have her back to care for him again!”


6. Emma J.

“I was in need of a new sitter for my cat and I found Emma! She was very responsive to my requests for bookings. She even did a meet and greet with Tux and I which was very reassuring. I had a last minute change in plans and Emma was able to be flexible with her schedule. Tux and I already have our next booking set up with her.”


7. Jacqueline N.
“Jackie is a great caregiver of all pets. When she has dog sat for me I don’t worry one bit about how my dog is doing because I know she’s going on many walks, playing fetch and making sure he goes to the bathroom regularly. At time my dog has needed ear drops and meds and she will made sure this was done as directed! I feel like she cares about my dog more than I do at times!”


8. Laura W.

“What a nice family.. couldn’t ask for a better kind and responsible mom and daughter to help with our dog.. they sent pictures and we knew our dog was happy”

11. Tasha T.


“Tasha was wonderful with our dogs! She dropped in on them a few times a day while we were away. She made sure they were fed, had their meds, and got plenty of playtime and attention. We definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”

19. Katlyn B.

“Our first ever time using this service. Katlyn was very reassuring and informative about what to expect. She even brought our package inside for us. Thank you, Katlyn!☺️”




20. Chris C.


“We had Chris do drop in visits for our two large dogs for a weekend. Chris and her daughter went above and beyond what we asked of her. We love our dogs and have high expectations for their care, which she exceeded. They came during a snowstorm and took the dogs out to play in a foot of snow, which they loved. She sent us pictures to update us and left a detailed note about each visit. They even came more frequently than we had asked for. I can’t recommended them enough and will most definitely be using their services again.”
