Toriann H.
“Toriann has watched my two bunnies on countless occasions. I never have to worry about going out of town and leaving them. She sends me updates (with pictures) about how they’re doing, will interact with them, and make sure they have everything they need. She is not like other sitters that come and go super quickly - she will play with them to make sure that they are still being socialized when I am gone! 10000/10 experience!”
Michael M.
“I’ve known Michael for close to 40yrs. He is one of the most kind-hearted and compassionate people I know. This is never more evident than in his every interaction, that I’ve seen, with his fur-baby, Penny. The love and care he shows her is nothing short of adoration. Michael is my dearest, trusted friend, who shares a mutual, natural love of animals, big and small. I want every pet owner who reads this to know that Michael is the PERFECT candidate for this position. Of this I am certain.”
