Ash did a great job with our pets while we were gone. She sent updates and pictures from each drop in. She showed up on time each day and all the animals seemed to love her!

My dogs and cat were in such good hands. Highly recommend him. Will use again and again. Was in another country and he was so patient with my payment issue. I didn’t have to worry even at 3700 miles away.

I have known Jaden for almost 20 years and from the beginning his passion for dogs has shown through. I remember the day when he showed up to school claiming his parents had gotten him a puppy named Zeus. His childhood passion for Zeus continued as they both grew up together. 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.

Stephanie was super easy to coordinate with and very responsible, trustworthy, and friendly! She came to meet our cats ahead of time and was very attentive to the instructions we provided. She showed up when she said she would and provided text updates every time she visited for the duration of our trip. We will definitely be booking her again if she’s available for any future trips we take; very pleased with our experience with her!

Ryan is the kind of person that truly has a passion for animals. I know that he finds value in treating each animal differently based on their personality and what works best for them in order to engage with them. He's gentle and has been very attached to all animals as long as I've known him!

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!

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!
