“Tracey was delightful!!! We boarded our cat, Tigger, with her for one week while on vacation, and he immediately warmed up to Tracey and enjoyed his stay. Tracey was so good and patient with our kitty. She was great about keeping us informed of how our cat was doing, and she went above and beyond in making sure our cat was comfortable. We loved Tracey and will definitely use her in the future!”
“Victoria was so wonderful. Super communicative and sent lots of pictures when she stopped in to care for my kitties. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Connor did a great job taking care of Moose. We had some cameras set up to keep an eye on Moose, and Connor was very helpful to set those cameras back up after Moose knocked them over each day 😸. It was clear that Moose was a lot happier after Connor came to check on him each day, and Connor took great pictures of our cat! I would definitely hire him again.”
“Mary went over and above on her visits with Roxy and Little Roxy. She came morning and night for most of the week on days we arranged. She sent pics of the animals so my daughters would know the dogs were all good. She played ball with the dogs and Roxy even got to swim while Mary was with her. She went as far as throwing some grain into the pasture trough for use. Thanks so much Mary. We will be calling on the next trip. You can't go wrong with Mary!”
“Exceeded my expectations!”

Sydney W.
“Sydney has done dog sitting and housesitting for me on two different occasions. Both times an elder dog (17+ years old) was involved plus a younger dog. Sydney did an amazing job. The elder dog had special needs such as wearing a diaper and needing to be carried to his food, to go outside, and to bed. Sydney handled these extra responsibilities with great care and both of our dogs were safe, happy, and healthy when we returned home. Our house was also in great condition and well cared for. I definitely recommend Sydney for any pet care needs you have.”

“Ivette is the most caring an affectionate pet sitter I have ever had. We have four cats, all with different diets and medications and she is magnificent and being sure everything is done perfectly and that they get their exercise (she probably plays with them more than we do 😅). She is our go to any time we have to leave town. She is extremely trustworthy and attentive which is a must as we have one special needs cat and two senior kitties, they all absolutely adore her. She truly loves them just as she would her own pets and makes sure all of their needs are met.”

Jaci R.
“I highly recommend Jaci for pet sitting. She did a fantastic job taking care of our two dogs—feeding them on schedule and making sure they got plenty of exercise with regular walks. She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We’ll definitely trust her with our pets again!”
Sarah B.
“I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough for pet sitting! She has been an absolute lifesaver for our family whenever we need someone to care for our three dogs and three cats. From our very first meeting, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Sarah goes above and beyond, whether she stays overnight or stops by twice a day. She not only feeds and cares for them but also takes the time to play and engage with them, ensuring they feel loved and comfortable. I sometimes joke that our pets might not even miss us when we're away because they have such a wonderful time with Sarah! Communication with Sarah is seamless; she’s always prompt in responding and provides updates while we’re away, which gives us peace of mind. It’s heartwarming to see how excited our pets are when she arrives—it's evident they adore her! Her reputation has also spread among our friends, and I’ve happily referred her to multiple people who have all had positive experiences. In summary, Sarah is not just a pet sitter; she’s a compassionate and trustworthy friend to our animals, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her!”
