1. Callie C.

“Callie is great! She is so nice and patient. She responds in a timely manner and is loving towards our cats. She was very patient with our biggus grumpus - Whiskey. She kept our house nice and tidy. She is a pleasure to work with.”


2. Khelsi W.

“Khelsi came and stayed with my baby while I went out of town for a long weekend. She was amazing at keeping me updated. Highly recommend Khelsi to care for your fur babies.”


3. Breanna G.

“Breanna was great! She was flexible with me when I first asked if she could watch my dog. Because I don’t know if Hutch is good with other dogs she offered to house sit and also take care of my two cats. The house was left in perfect conditions and you could tell all the animals received tons of love! I would definitely have her back!”




4. Annika R.


“Thank you Annika for taking great care of our 4 dogs! Knowing that they were in good care allowed us to enjoy our time away for the family wedding. The great communication while we were out of town really helped us so we didn't miss the dogs so much! We highly recommend Annika for any pet related care! She gets to know your pet and forms a bond which reduces the stress on you and your pets. Thank you again for being so awesome!”


5. Maciyah D.

“Maciyah was SO wonderful with our baby Nala. We had just rescued Nala 3 weeks prior to having to leave for 5 days and were nervous to leave her, however, Maciyah was so great with her. She made us feel so much better about leaving her. She sent lots of pictures, gave our girl good cuddles and played with her and took such great care! Would absolutely recommend Maciyah to anyone needing help with their fur baby and Nala can’t wait to see her again.”


6. Sarah V.


“Sarah did a great job watching our dog Mack! She arrived on time, sent regular picture updates, and gave us detailed reports of how our dog did during the day. She clearly loves animals and knows what she’s doing around them. I would recommend her to anyone!!”


7. Randi K.

“Randi made herself available on short notice, for 2 meetups which we requested. She was patient getting to know our rescue pup, prior to her house sitting while we went out of town. Our pup can be high energy, and also requires walks daily. Randi handled our pup well, giving her lots of attention and even extra sniffy walks beyond what we requested 💜 She seems to truly love animals and we would recommend her!”


8. Jordan K.

“Jordan was very accommodating. Skye had him wrapped around her paw! She had a very lazy weekend, very spa like. Butt rubs on demand. She can be pushed to do her walks in the morning, treats will motivate her! Thanks Jordan”


9. Jj W.

“Lovely first time experience with JJ. Handled my motley bunch with calm professionalism. I was out of the country, which always makes me extra nervous, but smooth as silk. Really appreciate the informative updates. Hope they are available next time too!”


10. Ashton B.

“Ashton did a great job taking care of our critters!!! She stayed with them over a long weekend and the house was spotless and all the animals happy as could be when we got home. Thanks Ashton!!!”


11. Erik M.

“Erik was fantastic, great communication and actively engaged in asking questions about pet care and understanding their needs ahead of time. During the stay he put my mind at ease with pictures, updates, and made it much easier to be away from my pets and home. He was even able to make some last minute changes work and the animals loved spending time with him. Good vibes all around, definitely recommend! I will be booking with Erik again!”


12. Casie L.

“Casie is amazing! She took such great care of our sweet girl - sending us updated pictures and notes often. We’re so glad to have found someone we trust ♥️”




13. Chauna G.


“Chauna took care of our two anxious rescue dogs when we left them for the first time, and she won them over and gave them excellent care and cuddles. She communicated regularly with daily photos, and asked questions when necessary. She stayed in our house for eight days while we were out of the country, and left the house in great shape. Caring for our dogs involved giving them medication as well as navigating their sometimes reactive barking towards other dogs and sounds. Chauna did a great job with them!”


14. Lizabeth W.

“Liz is absolutely AMAZING. I have two dogs who are a handful to say the least and she went out of her way to check on them multiple times and keep them happy! She understood the difficulty of the adjustment they’re going through with me starting work and them acting out of sorts adjusting to that. They were definitely both calm and happy from the photos and feedback Liz gave me. I would 100% recommend Liz if you need someone to care and watch you fur babies!”


15. Cassidy S.
“Cassidy has been taking care of my cats for years and she's great! She does more than just feed them and leave, I always know she'll hang out for a bit and spend time with my cats, which I really appreciate. Especially when I'm out of town for a while, I know that my cats are getting love and socialization in addition to their basic needs being taken care of. One of my cats is very skittish, but Cassidy took the time to earn her trust and win her over which no one else has done. She cares a lot about cats and always has lots of loves to give. I highly recommend Cassidy!”


16. Raeshawn V.

“Raeshawn has been around pets all her life and she's a true dog lover . I use to raise chows and she loved the puppy's .she now has a pet she keep for a friend and babysits for her mom's little Yorkie .”


17. Mary Grace S.

“Mary Grace was great with my dog during the overnight stay. I came home to a happy dog and the house was nice and tidy too, which was a bonus. I definitely recommend her.”




18. Joseph O.


“We were apprehensive about having a stranger in our home and taking care of our fur babies. Joe was personable and we all felt at ease with him right away. He even dropped by one additional time before we left just to make sure the dogs were going to be comfortable with him and to go over any additional instructions. The house was spotless and the dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely use Joe again and would highly recommend him.”


19. Dana G.

“Dana is the ultimate pet person - she cares for animals will all her heart. Dana has stayed over night with my two dogs on numerous occasions and provided them with loving care. When she enters my home both of my pups are over the moon excited to see her! She follows feeding instructions, sees that they get their medication if needed, and keeps them active and safe.”


20. Areatha M.

“Areatha was amazing with my girls! She accepted the job pretty last minute (late request by me, not a late response by her) and kept me up-to-date with photos. Even cleaned up a few litter messes! Highly recommend!”
