“Jason is the best! He took great care of my lab/hound mix and micro golden doodle. They clearly loved him, and he was responsible, communicative, and dependable. Definitely will be reaching out for further sittings”


2. Melissa S.

“Melissa is simply amazing. We have re-booked her over 10 times for home visits and home sitting our pet, Scott. We all were going on an international trip of ~10 days and we were worried since this was the first time we using someone’s services to stay at home and take care of Scott. Punctuality is Melissa’s virtue and Scott was absolutely comfortable with her. All those 10 days, we were very peaceful and Melissa ensured, with pictures and videos of Scott, that we were always in touch! A very big shout out to Melissa for a fantastic service!”

“Kimberly was great! We've never used a pet-sitter before so were a little nervous, but Kimberly came over to meet us and our dog before we left and put our minds at ease. Our pup took to her right away when she visited and we appreciated the thoughtful questions she asked. She was a great communicator before and during her stay with our pup and sent so many great photos. Just got home from our trip and the house is spotless. Definitely recommend!”

9. Apryl P.
“I have a large, extremely temperamental dog who can certainly be challenging. It is very difficult securing quality care for him. Apryl has cared for him on quite a few occasions . She’s like a dog whisperer! Her calm welcoming, loving atmosphere allows me to feel comfortable when Valentino is in her care. She gives her canine guests healthy attention in a safe environment. I can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind I have knowing she is caring for my fur child! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!”
