“Alexis is a life saver, she filled a last minute request to watch my cat, Blair. I really appreciate her quick communication as well as the level of detail she provides in her updates. Blair was really well cared for and I will 100% be using Alexis again. I highly recommend her.”
“Stacey was awesome with our kitty, Allie! She was able to start visits last minute and she spent time with Allie and sent tons of pictures every day.”
“Words cannot express how grateful we are for everything Ambre did for us! She went well above her duties to take care of Mystery our Boxer but also our home . She is very professional yet personable. She definitely superseded our expectations utilizing this service. She compliments this service splendidly!”
“This is the second time Megan and Nicole have helped me with my animals and I felt so relieved and informed with them in their care. They kept me updated and sent photos, and I came home to content and happy pets. Definitely recommend to anyone who has a hard time leaving home!”
“Kira did great with our animals! Thanks for helping out when we had to go out of town at the last minute. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Krystin Fantastic cat sitter!! She left detailed notes every day along with great pictures and stayed the full 30 minutes! I’ll definitely be trying to book her for looking after my cat anytime I’m out of town.”
“Laura was a very kind and caring presence while I was out of town. She took great care of my 2 small dogs. She would drop in to let them out and feed them as I had requested. If you ever want a sitter with a tender heart and attention to detail, reach out to her.”
“Christen (who works with Ryan) took care of our two old cats as a last minute booking while we were away for a family emergency. She provided updates/pictures at every visit which allowed me to worry less about my furbabies so I was able to focus on my family. When we returned home, the cat’s water bowls were full, their litter box was clean, and there was no food dishes in the sink. I can’t recommend her enough and will continue to request her to cat sit when we leave town. Thanks Christen!”
“Abigail did a great job of looking after our 3 cats twice a day for 4 days. Her visit summaries and photos were greatly appreciated, and from these, it was very obvious that they took to her and trusted her for meals, pills, and attention.”
“Thank you Samantha for holding down the fort with Tux and Mila! We appreciate you taking such great care of our furry friends. So happy we found you!😊”
“Emma was lovely with Mango!! She worked with him so well and was very patient with him while he was adjusting to her being in his space. She spent time helping him open up and communicated quickly when he was feeling overwhelmed. Thank you Emma!!”
“Could not be better!”
“Jennie is the consistent “drop-in visitor” for our dachshund puppy and she is amazing! She is loving, punctual, attentive and communicative. She has learned our girl’s personality and likes and dislikes and has made each visit special for our pup. Jennie has worked with us for a little over a month now and we could not have picked a better fit!”
“Cate immediately made us feel at ease and we knew our furr babies would be well taken care of. And, they were! She was amazing with communication and punctuality and our animals loved her. She is someone that you can trust with your beloved animals. It is a game changer for us in our ability to go away and be able to truly relax knowing someone who is responsible, and so kind and loving is with our furry kids. Highly recommend!”
About: I own a malinois-shepherd who I rescued when he was a little older than 1. He was abused and neglected and had bounced between foster homes for a while and though he was lovable and sweet, struggled with consistent eating and fear of other dogs. I am proud to say he is now confident enough to eat anything (even when he shouldn't) and no longer afraid of other dogs. Now we're working on not getting too excited at the idea of a new friend. I have no professional training background but a lot of care and kindness goes a long way and those I am an expert in. I work a full time job that rotates a schedule every other week. All days I can come in early, some days I can stay much longer or later than others. Some weeks days I can make it by 5, other weeks I will not be able to be there until 6. In my home, my fur baby must always sit before a meal and receives a kiss on the forehead that releases him to eat. He eats twice a day and goes outside minimum twice a day. My dogs routine matches my routine and I know that's how it is for others as well so I am happy to care for a pet anyway the owner prefers or that works best for their pet.
“Kaitlyn was amazing. I was anxious about leaving my kitty Mina who has kidney failure for almost two weeks but Kaitlyn totally spoiled her. I swear the kitty put on weight which is a miracle. A last minute extension to my trip did not faze her. Loved getting updates daily and the couple of days Mina didn’t eat all her food were reported with great concern. Kitty box and kitty dishes were all clean and tidy. Five stars!!!”
“Thank you so much , you were such an amazing sitter while my mom was out of town. Definitely would recommend you to family and friends for future vacations. Such a kind friendly person always keeping updates and pictures really appreciated that.”
“Bali did a great job with Georgie. She made sure to reach out with any questions and sent some of the most beautiful pictures of him and their play time. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Ashley took phenomenal care of our two cats while we were away! She followed all our instructions (and we have a lot of them!) and made friends with our braver cat. (The other one is a 'fraidy cat, but he did observe her from a distance.) She's completely reliable and kept us informed after every visit. It was especially nice to get photos of the babies while we were gone.”
About: I've taken care of many dogs over the years. I love knowing a dog is well taken care of while their family is away. Love meeting new dogs. My wife and I work full time jobs. I am up early for work. The morning starts with early potty breaks. She goes into work later, that's when breakfast happens and plenty of play time/outside time during that time. I'm home in the afternoons for more fun time. We treat everyone's dog like they are our own. Lots of whatever each dog needs, love, play time, toy time, cuddles, walks, running around outside.
