“Calie goes above and beyond as a pet sitter. She was incredibly patient with my dog who was not used to our new situation, and skillfully got my dog to calm down and trust her. Amazing work!”

“Sidney has been so great! Have been working long hours and was worried about my puppy being home for hours in end alone. Sidney came to meet Bunnie before we started regular daily visits, and she stayed and played with Bunnie for an hour almost daily. My neighbors told me they always saw her running around the back yard keeping her active, and she was always super sweet to my baby. She always remembered to put out the activity toys, and would even clean up the rare messes my puppy made even though I told her she didn’t need to. Sidney was super flexible and communicative, sent me lots of photos and videos, and she even took my last minute panicked requests for bookings. I highly recommend trusting your pups to her, she will take great care of them!”

“Steve is amazing! He was thorough, on time, and went above and beyond by cleaning up and dealing with a malfunctioning automatic litter box. My cats seemed happy and healthy when I got back from my trip.”
