As always, CJ is the best. Not only for how he takes care of our furry friend Simon, but also for keeping the house spotless and paying attention to all the details. We were away from home for 8 days and couldn't be more grateful. We love you CJ.🤗

Kavya took excellent care of our dogs and our home. She genuinely cared for their happiness, taking them on walks, throwing the ball and letting them know they were loved. We were reassured with daily photos and updates so we could enjoy our time away.

Amara was once again, did a wonderful job watching my dog, Loki. She knew my schedule and made sure Loki was tuckered out and ready for a nap when I got home. Perfect!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Had a cat and 4 dogs in the past. Had 3 dogs and a cat in the past. Can talk to different animals spiritually and now also can talk to them through AI technology. Your fur baby will go and have fun with me since I love walking and going to parks, and I love taking them to have a little adventure by the green.

Ciara stayed at my house and took care of my dog Doug while I was on a 5-day trip. She did an outstanding job. She was mature, responsible, and a great communicator-- I got regular updates and pictures by text. She took him on walks, made sure he was fed on time, and gave him play time. I felt very at ease being away, because she clearly had everything handled. I would definitely hire her again.

Garrison is amazing! He is quick to respond, always shows up on time, and our dogs adore him. He is so good at giving our smaller dog the best scratches and snuggles, and our bigger dog loves running with him. He has even helped carry on our training with them when feeding! Highly recommend him for your fur child or children!

Katie house sat and kept my dog and cat while I was gone for several days. She took my dog on several walks during her stay and always made sure to send pics and updates. When I got home, the apartment was absolutely spotless and both fur babies were happy as could be. I definitely plan on using Katie again!

Madison is attentive and a dedicated pet caregiver who is always communicative and punctual. Our dog, Koa loves it when Maddie comes by. She pays good attention to detail, carrying enough poop bags, making sure food is filled, and much more! She is always reliable and we trust Maddie with our fur baby!
