I highly recommend Darin and McKenna as pet sitter! Our two dogs just spent a week at their place, and it truly felt like they were on their own luxury vacation. From the start, Darin and McKenna were incredibly attentive to every detail and specific need our pups had. They didn’t just "watch" our dogs; they genuinely befriended them and invested a lot of personalized time and affection into making them feel at home. What impressed us most was their dedication during a particularly tough week of heavy snow. Despite the weather challenges, they remained completely unfazed and stayed "up to the task," ensuring our dogs were safe, pampered, and happy throughout the storms. If you are looking for sitters who are responsible, caring, and go the extra mile, Darin and McKenna are the best choice. Our dogs can’t wait to go back!

He did such a great job caring for my cat while I was traveling! Just before I left, my cat had to be put on medication and he was willing to give her the medication everyday. He even sent me photos of her while I was gone. He did a great job and I’ll definitely hire him again.

However we can best make your pet comfortable and give you peace of mind, we want to do that. If they need to be outside often, we have plenty of space to get outside. Need more of a quiet, chill house? We live in a quiet little complex with not much going on, meaning nice and quiet days! Just let us know what the need and we’ll be happy to accommodate.
