“Shiloh really enjoyed spending the week with Beth and her family! Beth was responsive and was able to take Shiloh in on short notice. I would definitely use her again!”
“Sean is a great sitter to nurture your puppy while you're away from home. Sean sent daily photos and videos, gave our puppy multiple baths and encouraged her to have TONS of playtime with his very friendly pups. Sean is an excellent pet professional that you can trust. Highly recommend and we'll definitely be reaching out for his services again!”
“I honestly wish I could give Michelle more than just five stars. She was incredible. I was out of town when my original pet sitter was unable to keep my dogs. Michelle took my pups AND my geckos on very short notice and for over two weeks. She was amazing with them. I received pictures every day and knew my kiddos were in good hands - dog smiles every single day. I honestly believe she cared for them as they were her own. I will definitely use MIchelle any time I go out of town. Thank you Michelle for EVERYTHING! Signed, Broxton, Leia, and two very happy Geckos”
“Amber and Dane took great care of my dog Bear. He’s a hyper, very active lab and they handled him with no problems. Very responsive with pictures too! Will use again.”
“Stacy was very communicative and helpful with our cat. She gave photo and video updates every night and let us know how she was adjusting to her new environment. She was caring by playing and holding her since our cat needs lots of activity.”
“Was amazing all around. I know my dog enjoyed himself and her communication and picture updates were always fast and well needed given my 2 week separation from my fur baby. Will be reaching out again if I ever need a sitter!”
“Aramintha was an absolutely amazing sitter. This was my first time letting someone watch my fur baby Mochi as I went out of town over the weekend & ever using an app to do so as well. It was last minute but Aramintha was very communicative & able to make time for a meet & greet for Mochi. I had my worries as she can a little difficult around smaller dogs & she has her own small baby & was watching another at the same time. Aramintha helped ease my mind & was very reassuring with an answer for everything that came up. She’s very accommodating & has a whole set up for her lil fur guests as everyone is welcomed & treated like family. She sent me updates & pictures of Mochi each day as she had such a fun & great time with everyone. It was so reassuring to see my baby safe, peaceful & having a good time. I would absolutely love for & trust Aramintha to watch my babies again if needed.”
“Gail was absolutely wonderful! Responded quickly with a meet opportunity and welcomed Piper into her home. She gave lots of snuggles and sent updates and pictures. Will book repeat visits!”
“Fantastic with our big baby! Made him feel at home and kept in great contact and sent plenty of pics. Khan got to play hard and is now napping hard. Will definitely use Stephen again”
“Megan was the best! My dog had just been neutered and she was so careful about keeping him from jumping, and she went out and bought Babybel cheese for him so he’d take his medicine (he hated the pills!). She even sent some cheese home with me and checked in on him. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day when I was gone and I felt so at ease knowing my dog was with her.”
“Shay takes really good care of my dog. Once during a stay with Shay, my dog was eating too fast that he would throw up sometimes. Shay went out of her way and bought a slow feeder for my dog to make him eat slower so that he would not throw up or fall sick because of this. That's a very personalized care for my puppy according to me.”
“Priscilla and her family took great care of our pups, even with a very last-minute booking and no meet and greet as we are out-of-towners. She and her husband made sure that our younger pup had a place she could hide when she was still uncomfortable with the other dogs (she’s playful, but needs to warm up on her terms). She was communicative and sent photos daily, which made me feel better! She also worked with me when we had to leave to drive home earlier than planned on the pick-up day. It’s clear the family loves dogs, and I will definitely ask Priscilla to watch my fur babies again!”
“Geneive was amazing! She kept our Lily girl happy and safe! I received pictures and videos everyday. It was nice knowing my baby was safe. She loves the kiddos too;) thank you Geneive!!!”
“Julie and Kenny were awesome! They took the best care of my dog and she loved it there! They sent messages and pictures of her. My dog felt right at home in their place and they treated her like one of the family. She even slept with them at night in their bed! I will definitely have them watch Daisy again! :)”
