“John provided check in’s for our puppy twice a week for about 3 months. He was incredibly reliable and flexible when our plans changed. He was able to work with our puppy on basic commands and leash walking which helped reinforce the training. We had no trouble communicating and he provided a detailed visit summary including any concerns he noted after each visit. We would absolutely recommend John to anyone needing dog care and use him again in the future.”

“Grace was awesome! She was so helpful with toby, always sending me picture updates of her drop in with Toby. I will definitely be reaching out to her again with any help I need with Toby:-)”
“Mallory went above and beyond for our senior bunny. She obviously knows her way around small animals and was very understanding of his grouchy temperament with a new person in his space. She got him to warm up to her in just a few visits and she did extra cleaning around the house that was not required. We loved coming home to a clean home and a happy bunny”

“I hired Cassie because I was getting put on twelve hour shifts for a week at work which I was already stressed about and then I had to figure out what to do with my dog. Cassie did an amazing job to where I didn’t have to worry about my dog during the day. I would definitely recommend hiring her!”
“Brittany did a wonderful job looking after my kitty while I was out! She always provided good updates and adorable photos. I came back to a happy car and tidy space ?”
“Chloe is awesome! She checks in on my old pup a few days a week while I'm at work. My dog Maddi loves her! Maddi isn't a big walker, so Chloe takes her out briefly, but they spend most of the time cuddling. My dog has anxiety, and on the days Chloe is there, she's so much happier when I get home.”
