“Alayna has been wonderful with my puppy.She’s reliable && attentive. I feel confident knowing he’s in good hands. She does a great job with him everyday. I’m grateful for her check ins. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter for their animal companions.”
“Noel was wonderful with our two senior pups who require a lot of attention and patience. Our oldest dog requires medication which is not always easy to administer, and Noel did great with her. At one point, our oldest dog wasn’t eating, and Noel made it a point to stop by and check in and spend time with her during the day to help with her anxiety. I would recommend Noel without hesitation.”

“Maria is great with my 6 year old chihuahua mix and my 5 year old orange tabby. She has cared for both of them while I was out of town, and she frequently takes my dog on walks. Maria genuinely loves spending time with animals, and she takes time to understand their personalities and needs. She follows instructions in caring for them, she communicates well, and she is flexible. Both of my pets are slow to warm up to people, and they both love Maria. I highly recommend her for all petsitting needs!”
