1. Kim M.

“My wife and I have never used a service like this. My wife never trusts anyone with our animals. Kim’s texts alone put my wife at ease. We usually take our animals with us or have to rely on family hours away. Kim went above and beyond with a plethora of photos, texts, and updates constantly sent to my wife and I. This allowed my wife to relax for the first time while being states away. Kim felt like family within minutes of meeting her and had all the questions covered in the pre-visit. All the animals loved her and were perfectly cared for. I would highly recommend Kim with anyone’s animals. She was perfection and we will absolutely book her again.”

“Dolly is such an amazing woman that has such a sweet soul, and the animals absolutely love her.

Extremely blessed to have found her!”

9. Guadalupe S.
“Ms. Lupe has taken care of my dogs (one being a special needs dog) ever since 2017. The longest she has sitted and boarded for me was I believe a month, I had a family emergency and had to go out of state for a while and when I came back my baby duke was perfectly fine. My favorite thing about her is the love she shows my pets ! I know no one else will treat them the same way.”
