“Emily is amazing! She treated our home and animals with respect and kept us updated on how our pets were doing. We cannot thank her enough and will certainly be hiring her again in the future! Thank you so much Emily!”



“Kalliah did an excellent job with our two dogs on our 4 day trip away. She kept us up to date daily with pictures of our dogs and communication was excellent throughout the duration. When we arrived home, the dogs were happy and healthy. We will definitely use Kalliah again.”


“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”


“Amanda was super prompt and responsive while we were out of town! She stayed at our home with our clingy border collie and gave great updates and pictures - they got out and about as much as possible during a heatwave but had plenty of snuggles and scritches inside in the AC. She left the house in perfect order. We would love to have her stay again in the future!”


“It was great having Mo stay at our house over the long weekend. We were sad to not have our pups camping with us but it was nice to know they were in good hands! Received many great photos of our pets relaxing around the house and eating meals. Came home to no mess and happy animals. Would definitely hire her again in the future!”


“Danielle was wonderful with our dogs!! We have one very nervous dog and she did great with Danielle. Communication was great. We even recieved videos of our guys playing while we were away. We would definitely recommend Danielle, and use her again.”


“We booked Tosya again for a short getaway and were comforted knowing our dogs were in good hands! Not only did she take care of the dogs but the house as well, being respectful of the space. Would suggest Tosya to anyone in the area needing a sitter!”


“Kayla is such an amazing choice for your dogs! She is flexible with time, prompt to respond, and makes even our skiddish dog feel comfortable! We used Kayla to house sit and she sent many photo updates along the way. She kept the house clean as if she was never here! We appreciate her work and would recommend her if you want reliable and trustworthy.”


“This is the second time we have asked Catherine to watch our dog and cat. And we would definitely ask her a third, fourth, fifth, and so on because she is wonderful caring for them! We had no worries being out of town and know that they are in good hands with Catherine. Anybody seeking Catherine's help to watch their pets will not be disappointed. Thank you so much!! - M&N”


“Kayla is awesome! She went the extra mile to make sure our pets were well taken cared for and felt comfortable, also given us the peace of mind on a persistent basis while we were away on trip, regarding our 5 fur babies. Kayla is very organized, reliable and flexible to the pets needs and schedule. I would highly recommend!”


“Excellent care for our 3 dogs and cat. Cara made sure our special needs dog got what he needed. Cara respected our home and left it as she found it. Great communication throughout. We will book her again!”


“Nadine is wonderful! She is an experienced rabbit sitter and gave Frankie the best care. She is kind, attentive, and a clear animal lover. We knew Frankie was in good hands. We will definitely be using her again.”


“Carina did a great job with my dogs. It was very clear to me she has passion for animals regardless of breeds! I have 4 dogs different breeds with very different temperaments and schedules and on different diets and she was able to cater to each one of their needs. One of my younger dogs a klee kai is super active and she made sure it got the exercise it needed, while one of my older 10 year dog is on a special diet and she was sure they were well taken care of. I will definitely be using her services again.”


“Pat has been incredibly flexible, nice and patient!! My cat absolutely loved her stay and the love she got from Pat! I was so worried at first about her adjusting to a new place but she ended up loving being with Pat so much that when i picked her up she was treating her house as it if it was her own😂 She also became super comfortable around Pat in an incredibly fast period, which tells me she really trusted her!!”


“Bethany took great care of Bailey while I was on vacation in Florida visiting my family! I highly recommend her for overnights as well as anything else required. She is very knowledgeable and caring.”


“Maria is incredible! Our dogs immediately loved her and she was even able to work miracles with our nervous cattle dog foster who has some fear with new people. She got her to play in the yard and had fun games of fetch! She is punctual, reliable, communicative, gentle, great with directions and understands animals on a deep level. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend Maria!”
