“Kris was absolutely wonderful with our 4 babies. She treated them like her own and loved them so much. We have 2 that aren’t a big fan of meeting new people and she even had them coming up to her and loving on her. She sent several pictures throughout her stay so that we knew the kiddos were having fun and doing well. We will definitely be using her in the future!”


“Shaea has watched our little senior pup at least 5 times now!! She is the absolute perfect sitter!! She comes early, she even stays late to spend more time with Sonny before we get home!! She keeps the house so tidy, she send daily text updates with pictures. I know Sonny is in such good hands with her, she has been such a blessing to us. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a pet sitter, she is the best!!!! I honestly can’t give enough praises!!”

To make sure I’m giving you and your pet the best quality care, I would simply ask for the specific things I need to know about your pet and how they need/want to be cared for.

“Highly recommend Julian she was wonderful with both my dog and cat. They're both high maintenance as far as grooming needs and she took care of them beautifully.
