1. Amy E.
“Amy did an amazing job with my babies. My (3) kitties can be more of a handful than the (2) dogs. My biggest anxiety has been leaving the kitties with someone because Kahili likes to try to escape the house. Mahina has come close and Alani would try as well if she had a chance. She prevented them from trying to escape the house and figured out how to get them their wet food while they crowded her. My puppies seem to settle down with her and even cuddled with her. They're 50 pound lap dogs and she did great with them. She was great at keeping me updated with pictures as well. I felt a great sense of relief to find my kitties and puppies happy at home when we got back. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone!”
2. Lisa H.
“Lisa came into our home to watch our 9 week old puppy that we’ve only had for 4 days and she was AMAZING! She got right on the floor to connect with our puppy, Ayla, and was so patient throughout the day with Ayla needing to be let out often as we try to potty train her. I instantly felt comfortable with Lisa being in our home and taking care of our busy puppy! Highly recommend!”
3. Jo A.
“Loved Jo! Sent us updates and loved up Auggie and Tina just as we would have. I had no worries while we were away. Excellent care for my pups!”
4. Shea P.
“Shea was absolutely fantastic. Our dog has some health issues, and Shea was very attentive to his medications and our concerns while we were away. We came home to a very happy dog. Our house was spotless. Without asking, Shea washed the bedding and put everything in its place. Her communication was thorough and consistent. Without any hesitation, we would ask Shea to sit for Rocky again! Thank you again for everything, Shea!”
5. Shelby B.
“Shelby was awesome! Dogs were so well taken care of and were calm and relaxed when I got home. She sent updates and pics while she was there with them. Would definitely recommend Shelby!”
6. Chrissy W.
“Chrissy stayed at our home with our dog Belle for a week. Our dog can be very anxious, especially with new people in the home, but Chrissy did an excellent job contacting us when needed and relying on her expertise to help Belle warm up to her. She was very respectful of our home and was able to complete misc. tasks related to home care (watering flowers, garbage, etc.). Would definitely recommend her!”
7. Sarah W.
“Sarah is amazing!! Not only was she so great with our dog who can be difficult she is such a kind trustworthy person. We highly recommend her!!!”
8. Hayes T.
“We think the absolute WORLD of Hayes and are SO SO thankful. We were able to fully enjoy our honeymoon knowing that our sweet girl was in the best of hands. Provided plenty of updates and photos but Hayes REALLY went the extra mile to make sure Brighton was getting exactly what she needed while we were away. I truly think that when we came back Brighton was happy to see us but missed all of the fun times she was having with Hayes! On top of the great care given to Brighton...left our house tidy and clean which made coming back way less stressful. I would give Hayes 10000 stars if I could!”

“Hannah was amazing! Very prompt responses, communicative, responsible, and took great care of our two dogs and two cats for 5 nights! Would definitely recommend! We could tell from the pictures that our pets were so comfortable!”
10. Austin A.
“Austin was just incredible! He stayed at my home with my cat while I was on vacation. He provided such great updates and pictures that it made it easier to be away from my fur baby. He was very professional and I can tell he cares about what he does! I came back to such a happy cat, I will definitely be rebooking.”

16. Maddie S.
About: A pet is like a child. You love them and want the absolute best for them. As a former dog mom I understand how hard it is to find someone you trust to take care of your pet and love them while you’re gone. That’s where I come in! My schedule is fairly flexible. I have a full time job and prioritize working out, but outside of those two items I’m fairly free and can work to meet your needs. I no longer have any of my own pets as my 14 year old dog passed away last year, but I help care for my parents cats often and love being around animals!
17. Simone W.
“I've known Simone for 10+ years. She absolutely loves dogs. She's helped me with my own dog before and my dog has special needs. She's great at personalizing what each owner wants and meeting each and every dogs needs as well. I highly recommend her as your dog walker and caregiver!”

19. Nancee N.
“I found Nancee when I suddenly needed someone last-minute, to stay overnight with my little Jack Russell, Willie. Never have I felt so lucky when she responded! I instantly knew Willie would be in the best of hands, and he was. Nancee is personable, communicative, responsive, and obviously a true dog lover. Upon meeting her for the first time, Willie rolled over on his back and sn”

“Danielle was so sweet with our two big boys! She spent time cuddling them while we were out of town, which is just what they needed! She was so kind and we can’t wait to rebook her!”
