I hate to leave my cats but I love to travel…So I’m very particular about who takes care of them when I’m away… I don’t want their schedules disrupted because I’m not there…I always left detailed instructions for Liri and she followed them to the letter… I could tell that she did because my kitties are somewhat aloof …Pickles doesn’t like anyone but me… They both liked Lori very much…Lori is exceedingly dependable and reliable and that is what I want in a pet sitter… Unfortunately Lori has moved to another state and can no longer care for my kitties … we all miss her very much.

Megan was so great with our dog Polly and cat Ely. It felt good knowing that in addition to the basics, Megan took extra time to hang out with our fur babies and give Polly a proper walk twice per day. She checked in mid-week, too, which put our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend Megan!

This was the first time that Blue didn’t go out of town with us…it was a last minute thing and I just wasn’t sure how we were going to find someone that we and Blue would be comfortable with. I can’t believe my good fortune to have been able to book Crista. 100% reliable; above and beyond care; provided daily check-ins and pictures, which I totally appreciated; house was as we left it. She was so good with Blue, that although he was happy to see us when we got home, he wasn’t frantic or acting as if we’d abandoned him. That means the world to me. We’re already booking Crista for an out of town trip in October!

If you want a pet sitter who is dependable, loving, with vet tech experience, choose Lilly. We've known her for years, and use her regularly. Our 2 dogs love her - even our Shi Tzu mix who is shy quickly warmed up to her. Lilly and our Great Pyrenees mix love to cuddle. She has experience with medicating dogs. She has cats at home, and experience with axolotls as well. We highly recommend Lilly!

Jess is an exceptional pet caregiver. Her compassion for furry friends and people alike make themselves apparent within the first few moments of speaking with her. A few years ago, Jess assisted me with pet care for my family dog that suffered from extreme separation anxiety. In just a few minutes of being together, Jess was able to earn the trust of my troubled pup to the point where I felt comfortable leaving them alone together after the first meeting. Her love and compassion for animals will make themselves evident after the first conversation.

We LOVED having Jennifer care for our two doggos while away for a weekend. Our last river experience was not ideal and she quickly eased my nerves with how prepared she was just at the meet and greet! She sent updates throughout the weekend and rolled with the punches when our internet went out during her stay. We came home to two happy and tired dogs and she even left a goodie bag with treats. We won’t hesitate to ask Jennifer to care for our pets in the future!

Dave took the time to meet with my dogs 3 times before coming to house sit for a weekend to make sure both dogs were comfortable with him staying. Dave handled both rescue Germans shepherds greatly! He even came back when my travel plans changed to make sure the dogs got dinner and night time exercise.

Absolutely amazing. To say Jess went above and beyond would be an understatement. My oldest dog Ozzy is an anxious mess when I leave, for the first time ever, she was content for the entire duration of our trip (which was over a week). I got multiple updates during our time away, Jess takes beautiful photos that are honestly going to be treasured! All of my animals were happy and healthy when I returned, it was like we had never left. And my house was even cleaner upon my return! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jess to anyone and everyone. Incredibly sweet, thoughtful and caring. Thank you again, Jess!

Heaven did such an amazing job. She was very patient with my dog who is skittish and in the end my dog was completely comfortable. My girls also where well taken care of and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.

Mark and Betty are the best dog sitters. Our dogs love going and staying with them. I’ve never seen Finley not get along with another dog, too. You will definitely have lots of peace of mind when your pup stays with them!

I have been entrusting Mary with the care of my dog for the past few years, and I couldn't be happier with her service. With over 15 years of experience, Mary truly understands dogs and their individual needs. Whether it's a quick walk or a longer adventure, I know my dog is in the best hands. Not only is Mary reliable and professional, but she also has a deep connection with the dogs she cares for. My dog absolutely loves their walks with Mary, coming home happy and well-exercised every time! It's clear that Mary has a genuine love for animals, and it shines through in the way she handles each dog with care and patience. Her extensive experience really shows whether dealing with various breeds, temperaments, or weather conditions, Mary is always prepared and knowledgeable. If you're looking for someone you can trust to take the best care of your furry friend, I highly recommend Mary. She's simply the best!
