1. Danielle K.
“I was a bit anxious at first leaving our new rescue pup home alone during a busy work week but thankfully Danielle was available to take good care of our little Milo! We will be using her services again in the future! ?”
2. Brian G.
“Brian took care of our kitten for us while we were on vacation. He arrived and left at the agreed upon times and took such great care of Peanut. He communicated and sent us pictures every time he visited which made my girls feel better about leaving him. He went above and beyond and helped us with some house things that we forgot about. We’ll definitely ask for his help again.”
3. Maelee N.
“Drop in visit went great. The pups had nothing but good things to say about maelee. She followed my (absurdly long) list of instructions to the letter and was great about communication!?”
4. Sara T.
“Izzy and Quiggle loved the attention and care offered by Sara. We loved having the peace of mind that she offered. Thanks, Sara, for your patience and many kindnesses--above and beyond.”

7. Kelsey & Forrest K.
“Kelsey took such good care of my cat while we were away! She was able to get our shy little cat to come out of her shell and live her best life! I’ll definitely be looking for Kelsey again if I need to re-book.”
8. Mara K.

9. Amanda G.
“Amanda did great work watching our fur babies (+ plants) and keeping us updated while we were out of town. I will definitely reach out again for cat sitting!”
10. Tia B.
“Despite our 1 year old GSP being quite the handful, Tia was able to give her lots of exercise and play time in the backyard, get her fed, and back in her kennel for a nap. As a pet owner, it's also so helpful knowing that Tia has spent years working in a vet clinic - I know that whatever comes up with a crazy pup, she can handle it!”
11. Bailey L.
“Bailey did a wonderful job taking care of Gus. She provided details of what she did in caring for him, and she took several pictures of Gus that she shared. She was also very prompt in responding to messages. We will definitely hire Bailey again!”

“Taylor did great with our slightly sassy cat. She did all that was requested, was quick to respond, and asked good questions about the cat’s needs and habits. Would recommend!”
13. Kelly D.
“Kelly responds quickly, shares lots of pictures, and follows care instructions. Don’t hesitate to book her for drop-in visits!”
14. Henry S.
“Henry was a great pet sitter. I felt comfortable with him with my senior pets and did great with giving their medication. He was very sweet with my elderly stroke cat too and she took to him very fast which was amazing! He kept my dog happy and took her on plenty of walks. I would definitely hire him again as he made the whole thing stress free and worked around my unpredictable schedule.”
15. Megan S.
“Megan is always fantastic. We absolutely love having her to hang out with Nigel - he adores her! She totally takes the time to work with him and understand all his needs. He’s a stinker so we beyond appreciate it. Thank you so so much!! We will absolutely book Megan for many future hang outs with our boy.”
16. Kim B.
“Kim is the absolute best, leaving my pup is very sad but I feel comforted knowing Kim is going to be checking in on her. Plus, the highlight of my day is the little notes Kim leaves along with pictures of my sweet Suggie!! I can't thank Kim enough for being so reliable and trustworthy!”
17. Ricardo S.
“Thank you Ricardo! Excellent service checking in on my dog.”
18. Molly M.
“Molly did an awesome job watching Ivy! She was very communicative, reliable, and clearly an animal lover. Looking forward to having her back in the future for more drop ins ?”
19. Abbey S.
“Abbey was the best pet sitter I have ever had, she went above and beyond and we are so grateful to have found someone we will want to hire each time we are out of town! Her communication and care is excellent.”
20. Aaliyah C.
“I would highly recommend Aaliyah! I have had many dog sitters over the years, but she will be my go too moving forward. She sends updates throughout her visit with pictures and when I come home, I can tell my dogs (and my home) were well loved and happy!”
