Kayla V.
“Kayla is a natural with animals and cares for them as if they were her own. She’s responsible, loving, and always makes sure pets feel safe and happy. Highly recommend! – Paydin C.”


Liam C.
“I have known Liam for a number of years both as friends, and as coworkers. Any person who knows Liam, myself included, struggles adequately describe how terrific of a person he is. I can testify to Liam’s general demeanor and character (which is always positive), as well as is love for animals. I personally do not own a pet. However, if I did, there are few people who I would trust to care for the animal more than Liam. With Liam, your pet will undoubtedly be cared for appropriately, and be left in capable hands.”


Megan D.
“I have used Megan for my pet sitting several times.! She is very responsible!! excellent caregiver!! Highly recommend!! Your pets will be in great hands!!”

Mikayla L.
“Mikayla Little is the single most caring and and knowledgeable person I know when it comes to animals. She has helped me train my own puppy and given me countless pointers along the way. I've seen her work with dogs, cats, rats, porcupines, skunks, chickens, sheep, cows, even an armadillo and a cheetah. And each time she's with an animal she takes every precaution necessary to make sure they are safe, respected and attended to. I know she would make an excellent caregiver.”


colleen m.
“Colleen watched my dog for many years before he passed. She is a passionate animal lover and treated my dog and her own like her children. Most dog watchers and walkers just do the job and leave whereas Colleen would sit with my dog for a while, entertain him and make sure he did not feel lonely. I would recommend her to anyone to care for their pets. She will probably take better care of most peoples animals then they would themselves. A++++ service, hire her for your needs today, you will NOT be disappointed.”


Marissa T.

“Marissa responded right away and took good care of my Oakley boy!”


Thaddeus T.

“We were very fortunate to find Thaddeus to walk our cattle dog mix for 6 days while we were traveling. I highly recommend his services .”


Sheli P.

“Sheli is lovely and was very responsive. Penny is usually shy at first but greeted Sheli enthusiastically like a long lost friend! Thank you Sheli! We would use again!”


Isabella H.
“I’m proud to say that it was it was Bella who was the conduit to me rescuing our beloved Shi Tzu, Marley. She knew I wanted to rescue a dog (a Shih Tzu) and when she discovered Marley, she let me know and the rest is history. This happened while she was working full-time at the Associated Humane Society. Bella has a passion for pet care, and it really shows. Perhaps just as important, she has formal training as well as a certificate for Veterinary Assistant. She is trustworthy, experienced and I recommend her without hesitation.”


Patty S.
“Patty is a true pure bred when it comes to dog sitting! For as long as I’ve known her she’s been the queen care taker of all dogs and puppies alike. Her love for dogs gives her a keen sense to even understand the most finicky K9 you have. That’s why I hire her to dog sit my miniature Italian greyhound. I just absolutely love patty and not only would trust her with my dog but anything! 5 star ratings. PS: Thank you for making my daisy a happier dog”
