“Mariel truly exceeded my expectations in the care she provides for my fur baby Dukes. She has a heart of gold and creates a fantastic experience for my boy. Her expertise is evident, and she is worth every penny and then some! She is hands down the best dog sitter I've ever had. The photo updates she sends are so reassuring and always brighten my day! In every picture, Dukes was captured cozied up or racing with pure joy on his face. Mariel has been incredibly accommodating with my work schedule and consistently goes the extra mile to ensure Dukes is well taken care of while I'm away. She's genuinely a kind and wonderful person, making every interaction the sweetest. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”

She took great care of my place while I was gone, including bringing in the mail, taking the trash/recycling out, and leaving the faucets to drip during a cold snap. My dog has some health issues and has a really specific meal and medicine schedule, which Skylar was super conscientious about. We had a drop-in visit prior to the trip and Skylar asked lots of questions to make sure she understood the feeding and medicine issues and Sabi's health. I'm so glad to have found Skylar and would love to have her sit for Sabi again while I'm away.”

“Kayte is absolutely amazing with animals!! She has pet sitting experience as well as vet med experience which I think is a great combination. She is so caring and has so much love for all animals.”


19. Kaleigha W.
“had the absolute pleasure of working with my sister Kaleigha n a recent project that involved handling some of the most well-behaved, but sometimes challenging, dogs. I’ve always known she had a special connection with animals, but seeing her in action was truly impressive. There was a situation where a dog got a little too excited during a witness testimony session, and things could’ve easily spiraled. But Kaleigha handled it with such calm and confidence, not only soothing the dog but also keeping everything running smoothly. Her patience and understanding with the dogs are unmatched, and it's clear she truly cares about their well-being. She has a natural gift, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with in that environment. Whether it's managing a tricky situation or just giving the dogs the attention they need, kaleigha knows exactly how to make everything come together beautifully. It’s always a joy working alongside her, and I’m proud to call her not just my sister, but a true professional when it comes to working with dogs.”
