“Lindsey is amazing! Got lots of picks of Chief having a ball with her family. Chief got home and slept half the day because he was so worn out from having such a good time. Always recommend Lindsey for anyone's pet watching needs!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention my dog received from Christianna & Mary. From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in great hands. They were incredibly responsible and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the day. My dog was calm, happy, and excited when I returned, which is a huge relief. I highly recommend Christianna & Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter for their furry friend!”
“Really appreciated the thoughtful and well planned out introduction of our dogs. Very open to all of my thoughts, concerns and input as it was the first time I left my puppy overnight and they were phenomenal! I could tell he had been exercised and was very content when I picked him up. Got several updates every day. Will definitely use them again!”
“Thank you Melissa! Max and Ringo had a great stay with you. They loved your fenced and shaded backyard and appreciated splashing in the doggie pool. It was the perfect environment!”
“Christine was excellent with us and took great care of Burt. She was caring and compassionate, and she sent a lot of photos/videos while we were gone. Even when Burt was having some issues because of a UTI, she made sure to attend to his needs and was very patient. She gave him medicines each day as well. We're very grateful for everything Christine did for us, and Burt is thankful too. :)”

“Chrishauna and her family was so AMAZING! My fur baby was so well taken care of and loved as if she was their own. They took care of her for almost a week and I got pictures and updates daily. I’m so happy I chose her to care for my fur baby and she will definitely be the only sitter for my family.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Kathryn for my toy poodle, Prince! She was attentive and caring, and Prince came back happy. Kathryn kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind. Highly recommend!”

“Jessica was very understanding and accommodating to my kitty. She was very experienced and knowledgeable of cats. She updated me regularly and made me feel at ease the whole stay even though our kitty was not the easiest! She was nothing but kind and patient with our fur baby. She even went above and beyond to pick up some more food when our plans changed unexpectedly. Thank you Jessica!”
