“Katie is so good with our babies! She goes the extra mile taking care of them and they love her! It’s such a relief to k la they are in good hands while we are away!”
“OmG, I can’t even begin to tell you how special Kelly is. The love and care she gave my babies surpassed my highest expectations. And this is coming from someone who is not easily impressed. I felt like my dogs found a second mom. All four of them bonded to her from the moment we met. Kelly was on time with meals and provided my oldest, Bella, with her diabetic injections without any issues. I definitely recommend her for the care of your babies.”
“Bethany was wonderful!!! She took such good care of my 3 pets and my home while I was away for a week, on super short notice too! My old girl is deaf and needs multiple meds and Bethany managed it all perfectly. Aside from my happy animals, I can hardly tell she was here. I can’t recommend her enough for pet or house sitting!”

“I could see by the pictures Kathryn sent me of my babies they were very well taken care of and just as I asked for them to be and they loved her my ladybug even smiled in the picture for her and that isn't an easy thing to get ladybug to do so if you need someone to take care of your fur babies dogs or cats or both she is awesome”

Kellie was absolutely the Best! Trustworthy, friendly, professional, reliable, awesome communicator & she truly loves pets! She took great care of our 4 fur babies while we were out of town for a few days. She definitely had her hands full with our chi Winnie “Jaxson” whom is a barker & very protective of us. She was actually holding & carrying him around after a few short hours. Kellie sent pics & updates multiple times a day, which was such a comfort when you can’t check in on them. We will definitely be calling on her again!
Koresa was great. Very communicative. Billy had some medical issues that were unfinished before we left. Koresa was able to get him to our vet & complete his round of medication. We returned to a happy healthy dog . Koresa is very mature & responsible, We highly recommend her, & hope to have her come again in the near future.
Absolutely amazing! We had to go on a last minute trip, we were leaving the same day I reached out, and she worked with out schedule and showed up for us! She was an absolute sweetheart, I’m convinced she took better care of these pups than even I do 😂 she was loving and kind right from the start. I found the house the EXACT same way I left it! She gave me updates daily making me feel in the loop about my baby’s. She even left us room to be late getting back…… Would 1000% recommend, I’m not usually one to use these apps cause of how skeptical I am about it, but this was the best experience!
