Gabriella is amazing. She was our peace of mind while we were away from our fur-baby. She took great care of her. She played with her and loved on her. She sent us pictures and updates the whole time we were gone. She was also very quick to respond to messages. When we take our next trip, we will DEFINITELY be hiring Gabriella!!!

Taryn is wonderful. We will definitely hire her again. She’s very pleasant and great with our pets. They warmed to her immediately. She’s a problem solver (we had a minor plumbing issue which she solved on her own but contacted us). She stays in touch just enough so we know all is well but not so much that we can’t enjoy our time away. She went above and beyond. Excellent pet and house sitter!

I’ve entrusted my pet’s care to Whitney for years now, and over time, they’ve become so much more than just a pet sitter—they’re a true friend. Their genuine love and respect for all animals shines through in every visit, from personalized walks and playful activities to meticulously following our dogs unique needs. Whitney always takes the time to understand our preferences and communicate openly about any special requests, ensuring our dogs feels secure and cherished. I know that when Whitney is caring for them, they’re not just following a routine—they’re creating a nurturing, safe, and fun environment that mirrors the love and care I give at home.

We absolutely LOVED Lucas! Even Bobby Cat loved him and and Bobby doesn’t like anybody! This was the first time we have ever left our boys with a stranger. We did a meet and greet with Lucas several days before we left and our beasties all went crazy over him. I trust their instincts over anything. Lucas sent us pictures and messages daily. I felt comfortable and confident that the boys were in good hands, and able to relax and enjoy myself. The entire experience was great! Lucas will be our “go-to guy” for future travel!

So glad we found Ste! We are traveling and wanted to go to a baseball game in Kansas City. Ste stayed in touch via text between the time we booked him and the game a few days later, always responding quickly when we kept him updated on our plans. Meeting him was a real pleasure. He immediately got down to our dog's level and greeted her, and she obviously felt very comfortable with him while we were gone judging from the photo he sent of her napping soundly. I only wish we actually lived here so we could book him again.
