Very responsive and professional, highly recommend!”

“Our dog Milo a retired military dog recently lost his sister and had some loss anxiety. Ashley was so patient and kind with him, even though he out weights her 😂🙈, she didn’t rush him to warm up and after a day he was already comfortable with her and he became his normal giant teddy bear lapdog self with her. Ashley was always communicative about her visits and never failed to show up :) she will Definetly have our service for whenever we have to go out of town for business!”

11. Meghan B.
“Meghan is the best pet sitter. She is punctual and goes above and beyond taking care of my cat. My flight back to Jacksonville was canceled and she was able to accommodate a last minute check-in. My cat really seems to love her as well which is great as my cat is wary of strangers. Would recommend 10/10!!!”

15. Emily P.
“Emily was so easy to work with and took great care of our cat piper! We loved the pics she sent everyday being so far away - it was a big help.”
16. Ashley W.
“For as long as I can remember, Ashley has always loved and been around animals. Growing up, she has loved and cared for dogs, cats & hamsters of her own. She understands the responsibility associated with owning a pet (i.e. keeping up with their shots, dental & flea treatments, walking them, house training them, crate training, picking up after them, etc.). She's truly loving towards all animals. Even though at present she doesn't have a pet of her own (within the last 3 years or so, her furry best friend, Bruno (he was a chiweenie), passed away and is resting on her mantle), she often dog sits her grandmother's 4 lb. Yorkie, Patches, a/k/a Little Bit or LB whenever she goes out of town. It's nothing during Ashley's evening walks for her to see neighbors walking their dogs and feel the need to stop, talk & pet each one of them along the way. Ashley's bubbly personality and genuine laughter are incredibly infectious and make her stand out from the rest!”
17. Andie P.
“Andie did an excellent job with all my pups even the one that has been a little extra protective lately! The dogs all loved her and I am super grateful she was able to help me out in a pinch!”
18. Amanda N.
“Highly recommend, she took great care of my cats. Made sure they exercise and have food and water available. Also sended cute pictures (at least one for each kitty) of them with their favorite toys.”
19. Mallory C.
“Mallory was wonderful! She went above and beyond to take care of our cat while we were away. We will definitely be requesting her again! Thanks Mallory!”
20. Halle B.
“Halle consistently dog sat for my very active puppy and even helped with the training. She was always professional, punctual, and cared for my pet like her own. I have relied on her to dog sit for longer periods of time as well, and would always ask Halle if she was free first if I needed any coverage. I’m sure she will care for your pets the exact same way!”
