19. Ellen K.
“Ellen Kappes was a God-send when she was able to pet sit for our German Shepherd, Leia. Do to shortsighted planning, our family had booked our vacation but completely forgot about getting someone to come stay with Leia while we were gone. Thankfully Ellen was available and spent the entire week at our house with Leia, and would send texts (with photos) showing all of the activities she and Leia were doing together…including multiple multi-mile walks per day. When we’re returned home, Leia was happy & healthy and our house was immaculately clean. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Ellen’s pet sitting services to any family member or friend. She was fantastic!!!”


20. Payton R.

“We had the most wonderful experience with Payton and Eli when we were away! From start to finish, their communication was top-notch, keeping us updated and informed every step of the way. It was evident that they genuinely cared for our dog, providing them with the attention and affection they needed in our absence. Their professionalism and warmth made us feel completely at ease, knowing our furry friend was in good hands. We highly recommend their services to anyone in need of trustworthy and compassionate pet care. Thank you for giving us peace of mind during our time away!”
