5. Konnie L.
“Konnie is amazing! She came over before we booked to meet the family and our pups! We then arranged for her to come over again before we left so that the pups could get to know her. She cared for our huskies as if they were her own. We came home to healthy, happy dogs and a clean home! Couldn't be more thankful that we found Konnie!”
6. Gina M.
“Gina stayed for 12 days at our house with 2 dogs and did a tremendous job. Both dogs and home in great shape upon return. Communication was excellent with photo updates and questions. She took special care of our 15 yr old senior dog. Would highly recommend.”
7. Elise G.
“I have known Elise many years and ever since I have known her, she has had such a big love for all animals. Her heart is driven to help animals every chance she can. I also know she has had a lot of experience with many different kind of pets. She has pet sit for my cat before. He was suffering with an illness and she was completely comfortable with giving him all the medications he needed, and she did a great job giving me updates on him while I was gone. I could trust Elise with any of my pets, and know she truly cares for the animals she will be taking care of. She is also a very responsible and genuine person.”
8. Scott & Samantha H.
“Scott and Samantha are our go to sitters for our Italian Greyhound, Quincy! We have used them multiple times, and always come home to a clean house and a very happy dog. Quincy has pretty bad separation anxiety, but Scott and Samantha give him extra attention, care, and snuggles. We highly recommend them to help with any of your pets’ needs!”
9. Chloe A.
“Chloe is amazing at caring for herself and her pets, and is so gentle with other's pets. She is a pet lover through and through and spoils every pet she comes across with as much as she can. When she first met my cat, I warned her he didn't like strangers and would probably run away as soon as he sniffed her. Instead, he warmed right up to her. Chloe is also great at managing stressful situations and has been there for me countless times. She makes sure she has everything figured out and a solution for any situation that can go awry. She is a problem-solver, fierce, and full of love. I believe that she's great for taking care of your pets 100%!!”

“Meagan is the most amazing pet mom I’ve met. Her home is set up to the needs and comfort of her pets. Beds and toys just like you would your kids room. They have clothes and plenty of treats too. All of her babies are loved more than life itself.”
15. Nikki F.
“Nicole is responsible, kind and caring! She is phenomenal with pets and takes great care of them! I absolutely recommend her to watch any pet.”
16. Maria C.
“Maria was great! She sent lots of photos and updates, and allowed our cats to become comfortable with her at their own pace. I love that she didn't force them to be social. We came home from a week away to two happy cats and a nice clean home. We've had a lot going on lately, and it was so nice to not worry about our girls! We will definitely ask Maria to sit for us again!”
17. Michelle R.
