“Meghan was great! Sent great updates and was always on time for the scheduled drops. Will be a repeat customer and would recommend to others!”




2. DAMACIA J.

“Our dogs seemed very well cared for! We loved all the pictures, check-ins were always pretty punctual and communication was great. We would love to work with Damacia again!”


3. Arin M.


“Arin is fantastic! We had such peace of mind knowing they were dropping in to check on our sick pup while we were both at work, and all of our dogs (even our shy hound) loved them during the meet and greet. They sent multiple photos during the drop in visit and also were so patient and compassionate working with our feral rescue girl. We don’t have an easy pack, but Arin was great with all of them.”

15. Alexis M.
“Good evening. I am writing on behalf of Alexis Martin. This young lady is a former student of mine who continues to impress me as she has now graduated from high school and working towards a beautiful future for herself. She is a kind, caring young lady who did a beautiful job caring for my dog and cat for over a week this past holiday season while I was visiting family in London. Alexis sent me updates, pictures, and kind words about my babies while I was on vacation. I would like to add that my cat lost an arm as a kitten and is not typically kind to strangers in the home. This did not keep Alexis from loving both of my animals and strategizing ways to make my cat "Chase" feel safe and loved.”


16. Mariana B.
“I highly recommend Mariana for pet sitting. She has taken great care of our dog multiple times and our puppy always looks forward to seeing her. Mariana is very attentive and caring, I will definitely use her services again in the future.”


17. Erica B.

“Thank you Erica ! You are the best !!”


18. Thomas C.
About: For most of my life, I have owned, loved, boarded, fostered, and/or cared for a broad range of animals, including dogs (small and large), cats (domesticated and feral), hamsters, rabbits, chickens, fish, one gerbil, one parrot, and a handful of reptiles. (I've also spent some time on farms learning husbandry.) From this comes experience with the full cycle of life with companion animals - birth, adolescence, training, advancements, setbacks, accidents, illness, aging, and loss. I'm no stranger to providing extra potty breaks for puppies (our interests are mutually aligned) or with giving daily medications. For the first time in many years, my home is without a pet of my own - let me dote on yours when you can't. I'm a retired(ish) attorney and veteran now working from home with plenty of time and attention to give to your fur babies. Regular walks and exercise are an important part of our routine. My property is ~ 2 acres, large portions of which are fenced but couldn't be properly described as secured. Your dog's temperament will determine whether it can roam / play / fetch unleashed, but in no event will dogs be outside unattended. Inside, I try to make my home as welcoming and comforting for your pets as I would hope would be done for mine - animals are allowed on the furniture and are invited to sleep where they please, unless you instruct otherwise.


19. Kiera F.

“Kiera was great with my cats! I was nervous to leave them alone for the first time to go on vacation but as soon as she came over to meet them, I knew they'd be in good hands. My orange cat loves everyone but my black cat is very shy and doesn't let everyone pet him, and he immediately took to her. She sent tons of cute pictures of them when she went in to feed them and truly treated them like they were her own. Next time I travel I'm definitely reaching out to her again!”


20. Tess W.

“Tess was wonderful. My dogs really enjoyed having her around while we were gone. She maintained regular contact and if there was any issue, she communicated that as soon as possible. I really appreciated it a lot. I would definitely recommend her.”
