“Krista took wonderful care of our three dogs. She kept me up to date throughout my trip of what they were doing (eating, going out, meds, etc.), and sent me pics and a video of them. She was especially careful with our 15+ year old dog. I was able to relax and have fun, knowing my dogs were well cared for. I would highly recommend having her watch your pets.”

Delaney R.
“Delaney has watched our two dogs over the years whenever we’ve gone on vacation, and she’s truly the best - dedicated and trustworthy! Before each trip, she’d stop by to go over everything and take notes about their care, and she’d even bring them special treats. Our dogs absolutely adored her! One time that really stands out is when there was a severe storm/tornado warning in our area. We were out of state and unaware of the weather, and Delaney reached out to ask if she could sleep on our couch so our Pug puppy wouldn’t have to be alone. That kind of care and concern speaks volumes about her character and the love she has for animals. She went above and beyond, and we were so incredibly thankful! Delaney isn’t just a great pet sitter - she’s also a really kind and thoughtful person. Your pets couldn’t be in better hands!”

Muhammed K.
“I cannot say enough good things about Mo! He is literally a godsend. He is so great with my dogs . My dogs get more excited to see him than me . I have been in so many instances where for one reason or another I could not make it in time to walk my dogs . And he has always come through. Whoever has dogs knows how important it is for you to be able to trust the person who will be taking care or walking your dogs . Ever since I found Mo, I have already been on two vacations because I feel very comfortable with him house sitting my dogs. Before I would always be hesitant and trying to rely on family that most of the time would not come through. He has even showered my dogs because they are so much more chill with him than me ! He is awesome!”

“I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Alexiya Moats as an exceptional pet sitter. Over the time she has cared for my pets, I’ve come to deeply appreciate her reliability, compassion, and natural connection with animals. Alexiya goes above and beyond in her responsibilities. She doesn’t just feed and walk pets—she genuinely connects with them. Whether it’s playing with a high-energy dog, soothing a nervous cat, or managing medications and feeding schedules, she handles it all with patience and professionalism. One of the things that stands out most about Alexiya is her attention to detail and communication. She keeps me updated with photos and notes, making me feel confident and at ease whenever I’m away. My pets absolutely adore her and are always excited to see her again—something that speaks volumes.”
