“As always, Jackie was absolutely wonderful with our fur babies while we were out of town. She was very communicative, sending us updates and photos throughout our trip. We would highly recommend Jackie to look after your pets!”
“Kija is the best! She took great care of our pup in our home while we were away for two weeks. She sent lots of updates of walks and snuggles. She also took great care of our space and left things spotless for us to come home to. I would trust Kija any day with my pup! Thanks again!!”
“Autumn did a fantastic job taking care of our cat and home while we were away at the beach! She sent us more pictures than any sitter we've ever had and many were hilarious shots. We felt secure that Onyx was well cared for during our trip, which made vacation that much better! We returned to a happy cat and a clean home. We're also pretty sure Onyx was waiting for her to come back for a couple days after we got home. We highly recommend Autumn!”
“Preaundrea has watched Sammy a couple of times now and has done a great job. She is very attentive, making sure she checks with me if she notices something out of the ordinary like his allergies. She is a good communicator and makes sure to send updates and photos. I am happy to know Sammy is well taken care of when I am away.”

“We are so grateful we met Kaitlyn! She took amazing care of our little Lucy and our home over the long weekend. She was very kind, patient and understanding, and helped ease our anxiety as new dog owners and having to leave our brand new baby for a few days. We will definitely ask for her help again!”
“Zana watched our two dogs and cat for a week and we are thrilled with our experience. Zana was extremely communicative and sent great pictures along with the updates.

I am very familiar with all varieties of animals at younger and older ages. I follow routines closely and strive to always uphold integrity because i know how much family means to me as it does to all of you. I have cared for baby chicks, turtles, rabbits and numerous cats and dogs from the age of 3 up until now. My love for animals started off as a child and has continued to grow ever since.

maria t.
“I just want to say how amazing Maria is when it comes to taking care of pets. She’s one of the most caring and patient people I know. The way she treats animals is like how she treats people with love, respect, and real attention. She doesn’t just feed them and move on. She talks to them, plays with them, and makes sure they feel safe and happy. Maria is super calm, even when a pet is nervous or acting up. She doesn’t get frustrated she takes her time and figures out what the animal needs. I’ve seen her go out of her way to make sure a pet is okay, whether it’s walking them a little longer, cleaning up after them without complaining, or just sitting with them so they’re not lonely. You can tell she really loves what she does. Animals trust her, and so do the people around her. If you’re looking for someone who’s going to show up, do a great job, and truly care about the pets she works with, Maria is that person. I can’t recommend her enough.”
Emily A.
“Emily took good care of a very shy cat, making her feel comfortable and easing the stress of our being away.”
Elliott M.
“Elliott has areal affinity with animals (especially dogs). We've always had cats and dogs as part of our family, and Elliott has always had a gentle and kind relationship with each of them. Our current dog, Brownie, waits anxiously for Elliott to take him for daily walks and returns home significantly calmer and relaxed, having burned up some of his boundless energy. Elliott is a gentle, kind human, and animals can sense that. I believe any pet would be fortunate to have Elliott spend time with them - going for walks, playing fetch, etc.”
Kelsey M.
“Kelsey is absolutely amazing. She took such good care of our baby. Kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos. We look forward to using Kelsey for our future trips.”
JJ G.
“JJ was great! Very professional, good with our fur baby, sent regular updates, and asked great questions to really get to know him and understand him in our initial meet and greets. Will CERTAINLY book with her again!”
Jackson B.
“Jackson took amazing care of my cat Gibby for a full week, which included feeding him consistently, maintaining his routine, and spending quality time playing with him. Gibby can be shy, but he warmed up to Jackson quickly, which says a lot! Jackson is a responsible, kind, and intelligent master’s student who approaches pet care with true patience and compassion. He sent me updates while I was away, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Jackson as a trustworthy and loving pet caregiver. Your furry friend will be in great hands!”
