12. zofia d.
“Zoohia was a dream come true! She watched my 3 year-old golden retriever for several overnights and took incredible care of him. Not only was he well fed, exercised and let out regularly, Zofia catered to his particular quirks and needs without a second thought. Sophia has such a caring way about her - towards people and animals - that helped my dog relax while separated from me. She’s responsive, responsible, professional and a beam of sunlight. She periodically sent photos and text updates so I was reassured knowing my pet was well cared for.”

I have peace of mind knowing if I need to be away from Charli, Jill is the perfect fill in for Mommie?”

“An amazing caregiver to work with, who really cares for the animals as if they were their own.

They have 5 plus years experience on cats, freshwater aquariums, reptiles and amphibians.”

“We are so happy we had Anna to take care of our two dogs! She was very easy to communicate with and dependable. She took great care of our two large dogs, and they seemed very happy when we returned home. Would recommend her and use her again!”


18. Allison R.
“As a pet owner, I don't trust my animals' care to just anyone. From the moment I met Allison I knew she had something special when it comes to her connection with animals. For example, my cat who dislikes almost everyone comes running into the room whenever Allison walks in! My dog & cat LOVE Allison & so do I. Her patience, understanding & knowledge make her a great person to watch, train & care for your pet!”
