“I am so thankful for Rhiana! Updates and photos made me feel so much better about being away from Silva. He’s been meowing non-stop since I got home, telling me about his week with Rhiana. He clearly had a great time with his Rihana’s visits! Highly recommend Rhiana!”
“Caroline did such a wonderful job with our kitties! She followed all our instructions perfectly and played with our kitties the whole time. We were very appreciative of her helping with bringing in a very large package we forgot was being delivered. If we were staying in this area we would absolutely love to have Caroline pet sit again!”
“Bailey did a great job with our boys! She arrived on time and spent time loving on our boys. We even added a last minute request to bring in some mail that needed to be refrigerated. Great experience. Will definitely recommend and have her come back anytime”

“Hannah is so amazing! I was out of town for a week and I felt 100% confident being away knowing Hannah was there to take care of my 2 cats. She was responsive and so attentive to them. I will absolutely rebook with Hannah!!”
“Amy looked after our dog for the first time this weekend and she was absolutely wonderful. She asked great questions about meals, walks and our dog's routine and was very thorough in every detail. Amy kept us updated with photos and messages so we never wondered how things were going. Our usually shy dog warmed up to her immediately and I felt completely at ease being away knowing our dog was in such caring hands. We will absolutely work with her again!”
“Alice is responsive, punctual and we trust her with our dog completely!”
“Kirtly was awesome, showing up for every appointment right on time. My pup not only liked him, but when I returned, he had gotten so many brushes that his fur was smooth as silk. Will definitely book again with Kirtly in the future!”
“Sabal absolutely LOVES Maggie!! Maggie is always able to tire her out even though she is high energy, and is so caring and thoughtful. She is also a great communicator, and I always feel at ease when Sabal is in her care.”
“My kitty had a great time with Robert. She is typically a bit wary around males but warmed up real quick when meeting him. She also had a bit of accident when I was away and Robert went above and cleaned it up with my pet vac. He even told me to keep an eye out for her health in case it was a sign of something worse. I definitely feel comfortable leaving my feline in his care in the future.”
