1. Amy P.
“Amy is truly a dog whisperer! My very barky and unsure husky mix warmed up to her within a few minutes and has been great for all the visits. Our other dog, a little beagle, has been a cuddle machine with her. I would recommend Amy with 10 stars if I could. We are definitely having her back!”
2. Anne B.
“Anne gave us detailed Check ins everyday that we were away. She played with our cat, kept his habits going and made sure he stayed comfortable. When we got back, he looked as happy as ever and he's now requesting more brushing time as it's what he's gotten everyday for the past week!”
3. Briana G.
“Briana has been amazing to my sweet Penelope! They had an instant connection, and Briana has given me peace of mind that P is taken care of during drop in services.”
4. Rebecca S.
“Rebecca did a 10/10 job! She kept us in the loop and took excellent care of our kitties. Loved the photo updates and notes. She took extra care to make sure our shy cat Toasty also got accomodations to ensure she got her food when she was hesitant to eat where she normally does. Would happily hire again for our future trips!”
5. Samantha F.
“Thank you so much for taking the best care of my precious little man!! So sweet and thorough and Danny already loves you and he never loves strangers! Makes me so happy to know he’s in such good hands and getting good attention while I’m at work!”
6. Maddy N.
“Maddy stopped by my home, on time, for our first in-person meet & greet. The visit was short and to the point, within that short time Maddy showed the love and kindness she has for dogs, my dogs will be in good hands with Maddy.”
7. Anna K.
“Anna helped me out super last-minute and was willing and able to navigate several random hiccups throughout my vacation. 100000/10 from both me and my fur babies!! 💛”
8. Mary-Kate O.
“First time with Mary Kate and our dog Fiona immediately was smitten with her. The walk and dog sitting went really great. Best of all, lots of great pictures and a solid report of the visit! We will definitely be return customers.”
9. Noah H.
“I've relied on Noah for taking care of my pet and he's been so caring! My puppy is always excited to see him and knows that he will get lots of pets, attention, and dog walks with Noah. We can't recommend him enough.”
10. Erin B.
“Erin was super patient and understanding of our Alfalfa’s fear of strangers. I would highly recommend her for drop in visits for both cats and dogs of all sizes.”
11. Chloe K.
“Chloe was a superb dog sitter! We are so grateful she could stop in to care for our senior dog when we needed extra support. Would totally have Chloe back again.”
12. James C.
“James did a great job taking care of my cat. James was very attentive and followed directions. He played with my cat a lot and did very good with her.”

“Bria is one of the most trustworthy and responsible people that I know. She loves animals and does a great job caring for them meeting their every need!”
14. Emily L.
“Emily is the most responsible sitter I’ve ever had! She plays with my cat a ton, sends me lots of photos and videos, and leaves me very detailed updates on what’s going on that day. I would definitely book with her again and would highly recommend her to everyone!”
15. Kayla F.
“Kayla is an amazing person with a big heart for animals! Growing up with three golden retrievers has given her a solid foundation in understanding their needs. She’s currently been using her experience by volunteering at the local animal shelter. She’s very good at balancing love and discipline with all the different pets she encounters. She still walks her own dogs at her childhood home and dog sits quite often so her empty nest parents can go out of town and not have to worry about a thing knowing Archie and Lincoln are in the best possible care!”
16. Grace L.
“Grace was amazing! She is a natural. My dog doesn’t just like anyone, but she felt comfortable around Grace right away. She was flexible and willing to help accommodate a last minute request, as a dog owner is truly appreciated!”
17. Allie L.
About: Hi! I recently gave up my corporate career to take some time to enjoy life and figure out what’s next! I have a 8 year old rescue beagle named Stella, who had a rough start in life, but has helped me learn how to care for a dog that needs a little extra love and patience. Stella loves other dogs too, so whenever possible I like to bring her along for visits if you have a dog that likes others! I love to be outdoors for long walks or short runs and an easily take care of high energy, and larger dogs that need a little extra exercise in their day! I am currently taking an indefinite leave from the corporate world and am enjoying the slower paced life with a mix of jobs that allow me to be home and spend more time doing things I love like dogs! I have a large 2 bedroom apartment in a great neighborhood for walking, close to the bike path and a couple parks. At nighttime, my dog sleeps with me in bed and I have multiple dogs beds and a large crate at my house.
18. Lisa S.
“I have used Lisa on many occasions for walking my dog and caring for my dog at my home. She has experience with handling dogs safely on walks and providing care for them.. feeding them, playing with them and providing for their needs. She seems to genuinely care for my dog and enjoys the time with him. I would highly recommend her for dog walking and home care. She is a responsible and mature person.”
19. Luke E.
“Luke is wonderful! Frannie loves playtime with him and I always know I’ll get some great photos and a message about how Frannie is doing.”
20. Rachel E.
“Rachel was great! She spent a good time with my kitties, and they seemed to really warm up to her which is usually not their norm. She was communicative and sent pictures which I so appreciate!”
