Rachelle is amazing and my older pit mix adores her! Rachelle is quick to respond and has been flexible with me when I needed a change of time in short notice. I can tell she enjoys visits with my pup and that goes a long way for us! She leaves great feedback on how the visit went, sends me pics, and has no problem with my very strong pit on a gentle leader. I also trust her that she knows my dog is not good with other animals. She’s just wonderful!

So happy and relieved to have been able to have Riva drop in on my two kitties this past weekend! Was nervous and anxious about being away from my young boy for the first time since his adoption, but Riva quickly put all my anxieties at ease with her great care for my cats. Riva was amazing with her check ins, providing photos and videos. Got back to two very happy cats, so mama is very thankful! Will definitely be using her services again!

My 75 staffy Brooks loved Kerry from the minute he met her. She kept me updated on how he was doing while I was away. She let know if he ate all his food and if he wasn’t feeling well. It was a last minute booking for 2 visits Friday, 2 visits Saturday and one visit Sunday AM. Kerry was able to help me out which I appreciated after a family member had canceled on me. I recommend!

Alyssa was a professional, attentive sitter for our spoiled boy cat while we were away on vacation. We appreciated the timely check-ins, thorough notes, and multiple photos provided for each visit. The house and litter box were clean when we returned, and we wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to sit for us again.

This is my second time having Destiny and Ethan watch my cats. There’s not anyone I trust more to watch the cats than them and the cats love them. Even my skittish shy kitty came out and spent time with them. I’m really appreciative of them taking care of my cats and it always bring me peace of mind.

Kari was amazing with our two pups! Our bigger dog is very hesitant around new people and Kari was very patient with him. She also came prepared with a slip lead which was useful when he was nervous about her doing his harness! Ultimately, he warmed up and both dogs showered her with kisses so I think it’s safe to say they loved her visits! We would absolutely request for Kari to watch the pups in the future.
