“She responded to my panicked message after about being in the ER with no one to check on my dog. She had already been by earlier to walk and feed him. This blessed angel came over after 10PM to sit with my pup while I was in the ER. A million gold stars! I owe her so much!”
“Rebekah was great. We had some problems with our electric locks so she had to go to our our house twice the first day. She worked through the issue with us. Sent great pics and updates for every drop in. We knew the cats were being well taken care of. We will ask for her help again in the future.”
“Really appreciate Pat helping us on short notice! She was fantastic with our rather timid and shy cat. Pat allowed our Bella to set the pace for interaction. Very attentive and took such good care with her. She even brought in an unexpected package. Very warm and caring lady. Will definitely use her services again.”

“Sarah did a great job caring for my 3 large dogs! She has cared for my babies a couple different occasions - both in a house-sitting and on a drop-in basis. One of my dogs is an elderly boxer with special needs (DM) and she was great in providing the extra care and attention he needs to still live an active lifestyle. Each of my dogs warmed up to her right away which was wonderful and allowed me to be out of town knowing they were in good, caring hands. Thanks Sarah!”
