Eddie provided drop-in visits for our hound dog Milo while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. He took good care of Milo and communicated well with us throughout, giving us great peace of mind. Would definitely recommend.

Alyssa was great with my cat, who experiences separation anxiety. She did a wonderful job and sent me pics of my kitty getting skritches. I appreciate her care.

Victoria has been our regular petsitter while we work. Our Cavalier, Louie, loves her! She is great with our dog, and has excellent communication with me. Victoria is always flexible if changes in our weekly schedule occur. She always informs me if something comes up and we need to adjust the days she pet-sits Louie. Victoria has such a special way with animals. I highly recommend her.

Haven was absolutely wonderful with my two senior cats, Brother and Bitty. Both are on transdermal methimazole, and she handled their medication confidently and consistently. She sent two photos every morning and evening, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was reliable and reassuring, and it was clear she genuinely cared about my cats. She also went above and beyond—cleaning up cat vomit without hesitation and even turning off a TV that had accidentally been left on. Those extra details really stood out. I came home to happy, calm cats and a well-kept home. I would absolutely book Haven again and highly recommend her, especially for senior pets or those with medical needs.

Elizabeth is fantastic! Clio requires special care, and Elizabeth was super communicative and comprehensive in our upfront prep, and was great during her drop-in visit to make sure everything went smoothly for Clio. She was attentive to our fur baby's needs, and Clio seemed to have a great time hanging with her! We will definitely be working with Elizabeth again!

She recognized my cat was overly anxious while I was away and she was more than willing to adjust the plans to fit my needs. Would highly recommend and will be booking for future services!

This was the first time using Rover and Julia for my cats and chickens while having to be at a family function in the midwest. Everything on the homefront went smoothly and Julia provided me with peace of mind tending to my fur babies . I will definitely be using her services again!
