“We'd give more stars if we could! Emily is an awesome communicator and did an incredible job with our elderly, attitude-filled boxer and our orange cat. We had a last minute situation where we needed an extra drop in while we were out of town and Emily stepped in with no hesitation and saved the day. We will absolutely be booking again!”

7. Monica A.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Monica to care for my beloved Corgi, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that Monica has an incredible rapport with animals and a genuine passion for what she does. She took the time to understand my dog's unique personality and needs, ensuring that every walk and playtime was tailored just for him. I received regular updates and adorable photos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. It was evident that my dog was not only well cared for but truly enjoyed his time with Monica. I highly recommend her services to any pet owner looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter.”

“Rucha & Ethan did a wonderful job caring for my two needy cats over thanksgiving! I had a worry-free trip because they were so communicative, and my cats really loved them.

I am SO grateful ❤️and look forward to having them watch the kitties when I’m away again. Thank you!!”
