Paz took copious notes during our initial meeting. She was on time and took great care of our energetic puppy. Paz checked in daily and texted picks of our puppy on walks, getting meals and cuddles. I miss my dog terribly when I'm away traveling, but it was comforting to know she was well loved in my absence.

Tracy took such a good care of our senior dog, who is still adjusting to his new surroundings. I don't have to see it to know that she took extra care because in all of the pictures he seemed very comfortable around her. Not only that, she took a great care of the house, too! I am so grateful for her care and attention.

Karen was great and easy to work with. I can’t board my dog due to her having Addison’s disease. So it’s great to have this as an option. I had no issues while I was away and felt like my dog was in good hands.

Katherine is very good with all animals. Our family has always had dogs and cats and an occasional Mini-rex rabbit. Many of them have been rescues from the Humane Association. She has been great with all of them. She will take them for walks, even if it is raining. Bailey, her dog, is a Australian Shepherd mix and bad weather does not bother him. She has also talked her mother and I into several dogs and cats over the years, this just shows how much she cares about them whether it is rescues or pure bred animals.

Elizabeth did an amazing job taking care of our 7 month old dog Bella while we were away for the week. She was very responsible, respectful, and treated Bella like she was her own. Elizabeth followed Bella’s schedule and communicated with us throughout the week with pictures and updates. We would definitely use her again for pet sitting.

Kayleigh is responsible and trustworthy and has much experience with caring for dogs. Whether it’s her own pup or one she just met, she treats them with love and kindness. My own dog is very picky with people outside of my family, but Kayleigh is genuinely one of her favorite people! She and I have shared a love for dogs our whole lives and I wouldn’t trust anyone more than her to look after my pup :)

Heidi is a dog angel! Our little girl is a stray we rescued off the street and she can be quite shy and frightened at times. Although we only had Heidi for an evening, she was able to establish rapport and our pup allowed petting and even tummy rubs. Heidi is a dog whisperer, she is able to ascertain the dog’s mood and temperament and go accordingly. We were in town from California for a wedding and it meant a lot we could have comfort knowing our pup was well cared for. We especially appreciated the voluminous notes Heidi took on our prep call and the multiple photos and videos she sent us throughout the evening. It was much appreciated!

Nancy is wonderful! She provided such care and attention to our babies (one crazy puppy and one senior dog with back issues), providing consistent updates and attention along the way. Nancy is dependable, trustworthy, and caring. Nancy went above and beyond to ensure both us humans and the doggies felt comfortable with her. She has a calmness to her that both I and the babies appreciated. Nancy provided both house sitting and dog sitting, both five star service. Our pups loved their time with Nancy and we will definitely be booking her services again when needed.
