1. Katie N.


“We've booked Katie for house sitting and already have another upcoming booking with her. She's knowledgeable, kept our house clean, and was easy to communicate with. Katie provided excellent care for our high-energy puppy and showed great affection for our senior dog. We appreciated all the updates with photos and videos, which kept us reassured and worry-free. We were initially concerned about finding someone who could handle our puppy's playful nature, quirks, and challenging behaviors, but Katie quickly eased our worries. Both dogs seem happy and well cared for, and we're grateful to have found someone patient and understanding of our dog’s unique needs. Looking forward to our next booking! Thanks again!”




2. Robert C.
“Robert was awesome with knoxie, her tail is wagging whenever he sits, and i always come home to a large smile on her face. she gets car rides, park visits, and he even allow her to sleep with him under the covers. Not everyone is that caring, especially with a 100lbs pitbull. I highly recommend robert as a trusting and loving sitter.”


3. Bennie & Jennie D.


“Bennie and Jennie were the most amazing cat sitters! They provided frequent updates and I knew Leo was well taken care of and happy at all times. They were very professional, reliable, and kind, and I will definitely be using their services again. I cant recommend highly enough!”


4. Riley G.
“True review! Riley loves pets more than people! She has a wealth of animal care experience and would much rather love on your fur babies than speak to humans. Your pets will be well cared for and happy but you might not hear about it unless your pet tells you. Just kidding! She is responsible, dependable and communicates well, even though you are human. 😁”


5. Trena & Leo C.
“trena is truly the biggest dog lover i’ve ever met! she is kind and gentle and makes even the shyest and most timid pups feel safe and comfortable around her. trena is also super active and can keep up with high energy dogs whether it’s for a brisk walk or a long play session. any pup would be so incredibly lucky to have her as a sitter or walker!”
6. Angelica T.

“Angelica was great! She was in constant communication with me and tried her best to build a bond with my kitty. She fed my kitty her treats and gave her the meals as indicated. Although my kitty had a hard time eating the meals, Angelica tried different ways to offer her the food and she did take the treats😊She left everything locked and we were very happy with her service!”

We felt extremely comfortable with her and will definitely call her again!”
