“Rachel was outstanding and patient with my great Dane. She followed every single step we went into her during the meet and greet and followed instructions without a problem. She also left everything exactly as I left it was great when it came to cleaning up a couple messes he made. I’m really looking forward to having Rachel dog sit my huge, anxious dog again. ☺️”

“Eleanor was great! She came over for us last minute and gave amazing care for our babies! She sends cute pictures and kept us updated. I can’t wait to use her again!”
“Heather is truly amazing, she gave my anxious pup time to warm up to her and eventually he had no choice but to love her! Her updates are excellent, personable and funny, I knew my pup was being well cared for and loved while I was away- she really went above and beyond 💕”


“Very professional! I did not have time to meet her in person before the holiday, but she was very pleasant and kind over a video chat! She kept my little kitty very happy and I am glad to have booked her”

“Jose did an amazing job with Marley! I was able to leave an entire week without having to worry once. Was always on time and walked my dog to the park every time. Marley loved Jose, so much so Marley was playing fetch with sticks which I’ve never seen him do! Jose also took amazing pictures at every check in”

“Miranda is so great with my cat. I'm not one to trust just anyone with my pets but she really made me feel comfortable. She was attentive to detail and quick to respond. My cat warmed right up to her quickly which was surprising cause she is shy. I'd absolutely book with her again. She even was great with my chicken!”

“Did an absolute amazing job would absolutely book with Leeland again! Very communicative, absolutely no hassle, and was flexible. Marley 100% loved him and I came back from the holidays to a happy doggo and mess free home. Marley is a big pup weighing over 100lbs and Leeland cared for him like a champ!!”

“Rachel is wonderful! Leaves a detailed summary of her visits, has clear communication - just an overall great sitter! I think she loves my cat just as much as my cat loves her! 💖”

“Merrisa was a fabulous sitter!! Her dedicated care and thoughtful communication left both our beloved Diego and us at ease! Highly recommend!!! Thank you for everything 🫶🏾”

“Elena did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs. She was timely and sent great photos while she did her visits. We’ve used Elena two separate times and both times worked very well for us. We could do what we needed to do knowing that are pups were well taken care of. Plan to have Elena care for them again.”


“I would highly recommend Debra to anyone. She has cared for our 5 cats many times over the past 2.5 years. We are so grateful that Debra always goes above and beyond. Excellent communication and attention to detail, including pictures with every visit. We have never had anything less than a 5/5 experience.”

“My pup loved her time with Josie! I appreciated how willing Josie was to come and do a meet-and-greet the day before our scheduled drop-in visit. Josie was mindful of the weather and met my pup’s need to go outside, while protecting her from the heat. I got a detailed report of their time together, with adorable pictures and video! We will definitely reach out again when we have the need. ?”

“Alexandra took such great care of our kitties while we were away! I love how thorough she is. We received many pictures of the cats getting snuggles and playing. She made us feel so confident that they were doing well and taken care of while we were away!”
