5. Bradley G.
“Bradley watched my dog (3yr, Staffy) for 3 weeks while I was on vacation in Thailand with my wife. My dog can be a ball of energy sometimes but Bradley was kindly able to play with him for endless amounts of time, and take him on many walks. He followed Hanks schedule to a T, and made sure he got everything he needed, even down to the cuddles. I, undoubtedly, recommend Bradley as the utmost kind and loving animal caregiver.”

10. Katherine K.

11. Olivia H.

“Olivia went above and beyond for my 2 cats. They are both shy with strangers but they are very social and get desperately lonely when I leave. I asked Olivia to be patient with them and just sit on the floor the entire half hour even if they’re too shy to come out of hiding for a few days. Not only did she do that, but she even stayed extra long one day in order to win my cats’ trust. By the last couple days, she had my cats asking for scratches and playing fetch with her! It was a huge relief to know that my girls were able to connect with her. I would definitely hire her again.”


12. Taylor A.

“Taylor was an absolute pleasure doing business and chatting with. An even more gift to know that my puppy was in the best hands and he loved her endlessly. I had a last minute business trip but she put my mind at ease every minute of the way. TAYLOR… THANK YOU! You have a special talent and gift with animals. I’m so grateful I found you!”


13. Kelsey F.

“Kelsey was great to work with and took great care of my pup!”

16. Makenna R.
“Makenna was a wonderful pet sitter for my two dogs, I loved she sent me updates and photos of my boys so I always knew they were happy and healthy 😊 she was very prompt and flexible with my schedule which I was very grateful for”


17. Maria F.

“Maria has been fantastic and reliable in caring for our two dogs regularly over the past year. We are usually nervous introducing our dogs to new caretakers as they have behavioral struggles, but Maria put us at ease. She was very adaptable and intuitive to their needs. For our dogs with anxiety, she has always provided a calm and reassuring presence. For our dog with overprotective instincts, she was persistent and respectful to establish trust. We have relied on her walking, day care and overnight sitting services regularly during our busy work schedules. She is very reliable, available and a great communicator. There is no one we trust more with our dogs. We cannot recommend her enough!”


18. Jessica D.

“Took great care of my two shy cats, getting them to quickly warm up, and providing regular updates/ photos. Clear communication and professional. Thank you!”


19. Bri A.

“Bri is wonderful! I got stuck in a last minute need for someone and she happened to be available. Great communicator and sent photos of my dog. Would recommend.”


20. Dana T.

“Dana has been so awesome with our 8-yr old cat, Momo. Momo was recovering from a surgery and was on a cone, so we’d been worried about leaving her by herself. We trusted her with Dana and we’re so glad we did because Dana has reallllyyyy helped us out (and calmed our separation anxieties too). She is calm and kind, and was great with Momo—she sent us regular, detailed updates and pictures from her visits. Dana was also great about giving Momo her daily medications, food and pets, and she actually did MUCH more than what we had asked of her. Really appreciate Dana and will definitely reach out to her in the future!! Highly recommend her <3 :)”
