1. Karen & Fred L.
“Karen is a wonderful person who took amazing care of my dog when I was called out of town for a long term work assignment. She loved my dog as her own. She communicated often and shared pictures of my dog being spoiled rotten (in a good way!) She became such an important part of my dog’s life that when he was diagnosed with cancer and had to be set free to cross the rainbow bridge, she came to the facility to be with us as he passed.”
2. Rachel W.
“Rachel did an amazing job caring for our dog when we were out of town- I couldn't be more pleased! Bodhi can be challenging at times - a large, high-energy "adolescent" who is very sweet but also reactive with people and cars. It can be difficult to walk him and I also get nervous leaving him with just anyone. Rachel was referred to us by a friend and she's been a godsend! From the minute she walked in the door she made Bodhi feel comfortable- he bonded with her immediately. It made me feel better about leaving him in someone else's care for the first time. It's obvious Rachel loves animals and enjoys being around them. She's very responsible and responsive. She made me feel at ease during our trip knowing that Bodhi was being well-cared for. She touched base each day we were gone to let us know all was going well and Bodhi was happy. He enjoys hanging out with her. It's a huge relief knowing we have a great option for a dog sitter we trust. Gamechanger!! Will definitely be working with Rachel again.”

“Love, love, love Bethany !!! She’s so caring, honest, and truly cares about the well being of any pets. She really loves what she does and the animals adore her. I’m glad I found Bethany. She sends pics and text messages of my babies daily and makes sure that not only my pets are taken care of, but she also spent quality time with them and sent me lots of adorable videos. Great service, AMAZING Bethany !!! I would highly recommend her for any dog-sitting service you may require. ❤️”

8. Landy P.
“I known Landy Pazos over 6 years and since the beginning what stands out about him is his love for animals. Such kindness, patience and loving care is hard to find now days. I can vouch that he’s a very trustworthy person and cared deeply about his responsibilities and the wellbeing of his and other people’s pets. He spends his free time helping stray animals that are in very much need of food or any other illness. Such a great person and caring. I recommend”
