“Laura was an amazing sitter! She was great with communication and keeping us in the loops with fun messages and cute photos. It was so nice knowing our dog was being loved and taken care of so well. She also went above and beyond by cleaning the house and deep cleaning a couple of our chairs. We really appreciated all the effort Laura put in to care for our home and our pup. We will 100% book with her again.”

Abigail S.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Abi has taken care of our two dogs and house more than once now, and she’s been amazing every single time. Our dogs light up when they see her, which honestly says it all. She’s super kind, responsible, and just has this calm way with animals that puts everyone at ease. She’s planning to become a vet, and you can really tell—she’s so tuned in to how the dogs are doing and always goes the extra mile to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. We also really appreciate how well she takes care of the house—we come home to happy pups and everything in its place. It makes leaving town so much easier knowing Abi’s there. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Aubrey is one of the most loving and dedicated people I’ve ever met towards both people and animals (especially animals). She has looked after my dogs on multiple occasions and never fails to prioritize efficient communication, excellent time-management, and an exceptional passion for what she does. As someone who loves their fur-babies more than anything, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
