Every time I came to visit Zeus was there running in the yard or cuddling up next to you while watching a movie. Zeus living a long and loved life thanks to the care and love from Jaden.”

16. Christina U.
“Christina is amazing when it comes to pet care! She's known my Rey since she was a puppy and Rey gets super excited whenever she sees Auntie Christina. In addition to making sure she's let out to go potty, fed, watered and given plenty of scratches/pets she makes sure to take Rey on a nice walk so that she knows she's the bestest girl ever!”
17. Shannon M.
“Shannon was awesome. When we first met her, she asked a lot of questions and really paid attention to Noslo. Since she was scheduled a few weeks in advance, as we got closer to the time scheduled, she reached out and was very easy to communicate with about our needs and Noslo's needs. Since we were going to be gone for long periods of time during the day, we set up times that she would come each day to give Noslo a break. She followed the plan and was able to play ball with Noslo and give him some attention to keep his mind off of us being gone for most of the day. She always kept us updated (even when we weren't responding to her messages) on what was going on and what Noslo was doing and feeling. She was very attentive to his needs and she really cared about how he felt. Although Noslo did miss us, we know that with Shannon stopping by and taking care of our baby during the day, he was able to expend some energy and I'm sure it eased some of his anxiety. We will be definitely requesting Shannon's services again!”
18. Eleni A.
“Eleni is a very careful person. Watched them take care of many animals before, including mine. If you want a kind and caring person to take care of your animals, Eleni is the one to do it.”
19. Talia M.
“Talia was great and pleasant to meet. She was on time and reliable and took great pictures of the dogs. We will try to work with her again in the future!”
20. Veronica B.
“I have know Veronica for many years she is a very kind and loving lady she treats her pets like she does her daughter with love and patience and I think anyone would be lucky to have Veronica look after their pet because she would treat them like her own and she is very respectful and responsible”
