“I'm running out of ways to say how wonderful Brittany is! My boys simply love her and I have such piece of mind when away knowing they are in her care. She's the best photographer, responds almost immediately, and is truly just the best. Can't recommend her enough !!!”
“Linnea was absolutely outstanding! She really made my wife and I very relaxed knowing that she was taking great care of our cats. Linnea always sent great daily information and pictures of our furry boys. I would highly recommend Linnea! We will definitely use her services should the need arise again in the future.”
“Hope has completed drop-in visits with our 11-month cat multiple times, and we are always pleased with her services. She plays with him, feeds him, and has taken the initiative to do extra duties we didn't even ask her to do - just to go above and beyond. She is trustworthy, reliable, and punctual; and our picky cat adores her. We look forward to using Hope's services again in the future! 5 stars”
“Tommy and Julie were fantastic this past week. They came over in advance to meet our cats and see what their routine was like. They asked lots of questions to make sure the booking was a good fit for us and them. They were very friendly and responsive while we were gone, they arrived on time every day, brought in packages and mail for us when they were here. They took time and care to feed the cats, clean their dishes and played with them every day. We received daily pictures and video from them as well. Would definitely recommend them and will be using them again as well!”
“I read reviews for Haley before we booked our visit and they all seemed to be sparkling, as were her Visits with our two cats. She represents your company very well and is well-spoken, professional and w we’ll be very happy to ask for Haley in the future. 👍💕”
“Sara was fantastic! She gladly agreed to meet us in advance for a meet and greet and our dog immediately gave her kisses! A good sign for our usually hesitant dachshund. :) She made us feel extremely comfortable leaving our baby in her hands and didn’t flinch at my paranoia regarding our sticky door lock. She arrived on time for all scheduled visits, stayed plenty long enough for Madeiline to do her business and still get some snuggles in. She was super responsive and sent multitude of pictures of their adventures. Arrived home to a happy and relaxed puppy. Would definitely recommend Sara to any other dog parents out there and will be using her again ourselves. Thank you Sara!”
About: I have been a Petco certified dog trainer since I was 18 and have dog/house sat many times since! I treat your dog like family and your home with respect! I am flexible! I am available Mondays and Thursdays all day. Saturdays I get off work at 2:00pm I work 9-5 during the rest of the days of the week. But I always need an excuse to use PTO so watching your fur baby won’t be problem! I just need a two week notice Quality time will be spent with your fur baby to make sure they keep busy. Plenty of playtime and mental stimulation. I love using puzzle toys, snuffles and other things to get a dogs mind working!
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have done sitting on the side for family and friends. I have raised my dogs from puppies to now they are 15 and 10 I also got a kitten about a year ago and she’s been enjoying the ride ever since! I am currently in college. I am planning on getting another part time job so I will be sure to communicate with my clients the schedule for that. I take care of my own pets everyday and would love to add yours too. I have grown up with animals my whole life so their routine is my routine. I believe that we owe it to our pets to make sure their needs are met and that they are happy.
About: Since I was 14, I have been entrusted to care for all animals, but my main experience is with dogs! I grew up with dogs being a major part of my life and will ensure love and safety for your dog! I have experience with all stages of life for dogs too. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for your animal(s)! I am available Monday through Thursday, as early as 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and cleanliness I would expect for my own. I follow all routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I take the time to bond with each pet, making sure they feel safe, loved, and calm in their familiar environment. As an option, I can send updates with photos and messages if requested.
“Brianna took amazing care of my 3 kitties. They absolutely loved her. Her communication was excellent and my cats barely noticed I was even gone. She did the cutest arts and crafts projects with them, brushed them, took out the trash and left my place spotless (other than the amazing arts and crafts I came home to.) All of my instructions were followed perfectly, she never left any trash behind, and brought so many treats and toys for the kitties! She came to meet the kitties ahead of time and bonded with them so fast. I would trust Brianna with my cats in a heartbeat and I don’t even trust my parents with them.”

“There is not much that can be said bad about Shay. My hard to deal with strong pup loves her. If we dont see Shay at least once a week my girl will mope. She gives each dog she interacts with their own time. Her training is spot on. If she can help train my baby she can train anything. She specialized her training to keep my girl engaged and happy as well as learning. She kept at it with me and helped me with my girl. Now we are Star Puppy CGC and working on CGCU and CGCC”
