3. Rose R.
“Kurt had a wonderful time with Rose. She’s a truly caring and reliable sitter. Rose went above and beyond to ensure Kurt was happy and well-cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing Kurt was in Rose’s capable hands. Don’t look for another sitter: Rose is the one you need. A thousand times thank you, Rose.”
4. Bridget S.
“Bridget has been watching my dogs and feral cat for a number of years. She truly loves what she does! My dogs love her and cannot wait for her to come by. She feeds them, walks them when weather permits (my labs hate the rain they forget they are water dogs!) There are snuggles and tickles and the occasional treat, too. They spend time with her in the yard releasing energy playing doggie games. She is conscientious as to their feeding routine such as the proper amount along with meds when needed. Even my stand-offish feral cat greets her with meows. My pack gives her two paws up!”
5. Sharon P.
“We could tell Sharon was a dog person right away at the meet and greet. Our dog immediately engaged with her. The day she cared for him went very well, she was on time and kept us updated. We would use her services again.”
6. Wendy F.
“Wendy is very dedicated to the animals she handles. She shows them never ending love and it shows she cares deeply about the pets. Timely and polite, Wendy is always professional.”
7. Kimberly B.
“Kimberly was great! We've never used a pet-sitter before so were a little nervous, but Kimberly came over to meet us and our dog before we left and put our minds at ease. Our pup took to her right away when she visited and we appreciated the thoughtful questions she asked. She was a great communicator before and during her stay with our pup and sent so many great photos. Just got home from our trip and the house is spotless. Definitely recommend!”
8. Hayley S.
“This was my first time boarding my cat and Hayley made it super easy and gave me much peace of mind. She was kind and patient, sent lots of pictures and videos, was super flexible with any schedule changes I may have had and was super welcoming! I can’t explain how grateful I am for her service and having someone I can trust with my baby for any future trips I may have!”

19. Jocelyn M.
“Jocelyn is an AMAZING pet sitter! She was patient, compassionate and very caring with our two senior dogs, including their ongoing care, multiple medications and their quirky needs. Our 17 y.o. dog needs help on stairs and she lovingly assisted him by carrying him down the stairs. They lived their best lives during their week with Jocelyn and are still standing by the door waiting for her to come "home" even though we ourselves have been back for days. :-) Jocelyn was highly responsible and responsive with our requests for the dogs and our home. She also came over for an early meet-n-greet as well as the day before we left, for keys and final instructions. I trust her implicitly and would ask her back to help with the dogs in a heartbeat! I highly recommend our favorite new friend!”
20. Jessica M.
