“Theresa was so awesome, reliable, and communicative! I have a senior dog and Theresa was so kind to her and I could tell how happy my baby was in all of the pictures Theresa shared with me.

You will be calm and confident knowing your baby is in the best hands.”

“Lila was incredibly attentive and patient with my nervous one-year old pup! He is so uneasy with strangers and had an issue-free evening with Lila. Thankful for her and her service! Looking forward to booking with her again.”
12. Giselle C.
“I had an emergency come up and had to book care for my dog and cat (s) at the very last minute. Giselle was so quick to respond to our request and confirm that she had availability. This was a huge relief because we were really worried that we would struggle to find care for our pets. She was fantastic, sharing lots of picture each time she visited and was so good with the animals that our extremely shy cat (who normally hides from everyone) came out and sat on her lap! Our dog even needed some medicine and Giselle was great about taking care of that too. I totally recommend Giselle and will definitely be booking her again soon. Thanks so much Giselle!”
13. Chloe W.
“Chloe was a lifesaver! We booked her for some last minute check ins before our pup stays with her next month, she drove half an hour to our new house to check on Finley and made us feel so comfortable about him staying with her next month. Finley has found a new bff!❤️”
14. Abigail D.
“Abigail is awesome. It’s tough for me to leave Max, but she provides details on the check in. This helps me feel more comfortable, knowing he is in good hands with someone who cares.”
15. Catherine C.

16. Erin S.
“Erin was terrific! She set up a time to meet my dog beforehand which I really appreciated. She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. My pup seemed quite happy with her visit. :)”
