1. Lindsey P.


“Lindsey has house sat for our dog and cat twice now. We always return to happy pets. :) She is responsible, courteous, and communicative. Usually our dog Penny takes several minutes to calm down when meeting someone new. When Penny met Lindsey, she calmed down almost immediately because of Lindsey's demeanor and experience with dog training. I would highly recommend her.”

“Elise was wonderful with our cat and our house. She had given us daily updates and videos and gave our fury baby lots of love! She was very responsive and flexible if anything had changed. She was even sweet enough to bring in packages and take our trashes out. Would definitely book her again in the future :)”

“This was our first time using Eliza and we will definitely be using her again.

She sent us lots of cute pictures and kept us updated while we were gone too!!”
