“Cari was incredible with all my animals even had a situation with my older cat and she took care of him and kept me posted and sent photos. I would recommend her to anybody. She’s sweet and kind and responsible.”
“Rita came to our rescue during a last minute request, actually a day of request, after our special needs daughter was admitted to the ICU. When everything in our world was turned upside down, Rita was able to bring some peace of mind knowing our fur babies were well loved and taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter and we were so blessed to have had Rita there during our time of need. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! 💕”
“Micah was such a gem to find! He was thorough in his care for my animals which is not easy as my boxer has a myriad of health and anxiety issues. He provided updates and asked questions when needed. Do not hesitate to book Micah, he is a fine gentleman who will care for your animals like his own. I will not hesitate to reach back out myself!”
“Juliana and Celeb did a wonderful job at carrying for our two dogs. Our pups feel in love with Juliana. And she showed them so much love and attention while we were out of town. They didn’t even act like they missed us, hahaha. We will definitely be using them again. They took excellent care of our home and even made sure our plantings were watered in this record breaking heat. My husband and I felt so good while away knowing our babies were being cared for by two people who love dogs and are very good with them. Thank you both for being so awesome with Bandit and Boone.”
“Fantastic job! We don’t leave our babies with just anybody. Both of our pups took to Nicole right away so we knew they were in good hands! Nicole took great care of everything and sent us plenty of updates throughout the weekend. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Bri was absolutely amazing! She was so responsive and careful to follow all of the instructions that I left for my cat. She left the house in impeccable order and she went above and beyond . I came home to a very happy cat who clearly got a lot of play and attention while I was away. Exactly what I was hoping for. I would be happy to have a Bri back again!”
“Fraya is excellent!!! She took awesome care of our pups on our wedding day. We had no worries at all. The puppy was exhausted from all the outside play time when we got home.”
“Valerie was so great with Bandit. She sent us photos and updates. She absolutely knew his needs and took very good care of him. She was also very accommodating since she didn’t have much notice. I would absolutely have her sit with him again. Bandit actually cried for her when she left. Great girl and great personality. Thank you so much Valerie for taking good care of our fur baby.”
“Alexus has been so helpful with drop-ins and dogsitting for our pup, Zelda, this summer! She is reliable, communicative, and Zelda loves her! Alexus doesn't mind helping with some of Zelda's special needs, and she sends lots of updates and pictures from her visits. We will definitely book her again!”
“This was the first time hiring Melisha for a multiple day/night stay, and we’re checking the calendar to figure out when to hire her next. Updates and pictures provided regularly. The 2 dogs and cat couldn’t have been in more capable hands. Even with a bit of a ruckus with the 2 huskies hanging up on the poor cat, Melisha was calm, cool and collected. I can’t come up with more words of praise for all that she did in the care of our 3 pets. She’s going to be tired of seeing our name pop up in her notifications. :)”
“Shanelle was an absolute godsend. We had a last minute weekend trip and she was able to stay with our pups at our home and keep both in good order. I cant recommend her enough.”
