Where do I start 😀 Rod did 2 meet and greets prior to my leaving for vacation which made me know he wanted to be right on spot double checking responsibilities for Kacey Mocha, and to get to know her disposition. Not only was he the kindest, most respectful and responsible petsitter for Kacey, he helped me with support as this was my first time being separated from her and I was quite nervous/sad. Daily texts and photos, face time, and coming home to a very clean house was a bonus! The most important thing is- Rod gave 100% attention and care to Kacey Mocha and expressed how much fun he had with her. And my stepdad would visit Kacey Mocha a couple times while Rod was here and he called me to tell me what an enjoyable time he had talking with Rod while they played with her and I had nothing to worry about with Rod caring for her. Thank you Rod so very much!

Such an amazing sitter! Dee was extremely attentive to our dog and followed her routine to a Tee. She even went out of her way to take her to the nearby dog park to get some extra exercise! Would 100% recommend!!

Jamie was great and very easy to work with. She was on time and clearly got along with Zelda and was communicative throughout the booking process and during the day where she dog-sat. Zelda was in a good mood when I got home and clearly enjoyed the company.

We are so grateful to Christie and her daughter. They give so much love and attention to Roxy while I’m away! Christie is a terrific communicator-she sends photos and keeps me updated when I’m traveling. I really could not ask for a more thoughtful and contentious care taker. She’s an absolute gem.

April is truly the epitome of everything you could want in a pet caregiver—trustworthy, kind, attentive, and completely devoted to the animals in her care. I don’t trust many people with my babies, but with her, I never worry for a second. Not only is she amazing with animals (and neurotic pet parents!), she's incredibly knowledgeable about animals, their health, and their unique needs. She has offered so much reassurance and insight any time my nerves get the best of me. It also means a lot to me that the nerves are all mine - my babies are always calm, happy, and obviously loved and well cared for. April truly treats my pets like family, and keeps me updated so I am able to enjoy my time away. I could not ask for a more professional, loving, or knowledgable person to care for my (very spoiled) babies. We are so lucky to have her in our lives!

I couldn't be more pleased with the dog-sitting service we received! From the very start, Kat was professional, kind, and very attentive to my dog's needs. I had peace of mind the entire time I was away knowing that my dog was in such capable hands. Coco was well taken care of, with regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I received daily updates and photos that really put me at ease and made me feel connected even while I was away. It's clear that Kat has a true love for animals and understands them well. I highly recommend Kat to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter!

Bridgette has incredible experience as my go to for the animals in my life. She is able to handle chickens, rabbits, dogs(bloodhounds, corgi, GSP), pigs(Gloucestshire Old Spots) and Horses. Bridgette is very calm in handing situations than animals always seem to surprise us with, to pigs getting out and dogs eating things they aren't suppose to.

Amor is a nightmare of a dog with so much energy and no manners! But she absolutely adores Reed and Natalie.. and seems to be one of the only times she calms down and behaves herself. 10000000% recommend them to anyone who needs their pets looked after!

Amie is phenomenal!! She really stepped up for us this past week when we were on vacation, she went above and beyond. Our house was badly hit with storms and she kept the pets and home safe. She’s not just your standard sitter, she’s so much more than that. We’re beyond blessed that she came into our lives and was able to take care of our fur babies for us. Took great care of our home, even cleaned out the fridge from losing power, ended up injuring her own knee on Mudd but didn’t skip a beat. Our puppy hadn’t been through storms yet and come to find out he absolutely hates them, she made him feel so comfortable. The communication was outstanding!! We will be using her without a doubt for all future trips. Thank you Amie from the bottom of our hearts!

Maddison was great! Our internet went out when she was going to be at our house and she dealt with it with no complaints. She took great care of our pups and was awesome at communicating with us on how they were doing. Sent daily pictures of our dogs. Will definitely use her again.

Rosemarie went above and beyond as a dog sitter for our beloved Bartolomeo. Her kindness and exceptional care provided us with peace of mind, especially during the significant moment of welcoming our first child at Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo. She remained responsive, ensuring Bartolomeo's needs were met, and her flexibility in staying longer than expected due to unforeseen delivery delays showcased her genuine dedication. We're incredibly grateful to have found such a trustworthy and outstanding sitter in the Kalamazoo area.

Peyton was so kind when she took care of my dog. Duke, my dog, absolutely adores her and looks forward when she comes and watches him. She follows our routine and makes sure Duke get outside for plenty of exercise on his walks. I believe that she truly loves my dog and wants him to be as happy as he can be. We can always trust that she will be responsible in our home & with our fluffy family member.
