1. Emily L.


“We are so glad to have met Emily, as she is a true animal lover who knows her stuff! Our dog Maddie is non-aggressive but has a very scary bark when she’s being territorial or is nervous. Emily clearly knows the difference between between a bark of aggression and one of anxiety, and was unfazed by Maddie’s loud barks that most people run from. We are happy to have met this young lady who we trust in our home and with our pets!”


2. Marilyn S.

“We were so happy to leave our cats in Marilyn's care. The pictures were so reassuring to see while we were on vacation. Thank you for taking care of our little guys!”


3. Jillian J.


“I have two younger, rambunctious dogs and Jillian did an amazing job keeping them alive and safe while I was away!🤣 They are escape artists, and prone to injuring themselves when I am away so I am so happy to report no new injuries or escapes while I was away. This was also the first time someone (other than myself) had administered oral medication to Fern, and it appears everything went smoothly. I am always impressed when my dogs don’t scare a new sitter away. THANK YOU, Jillian!”


4. Haley B.

“Haley was great with our 6 ferrets while we were away. I get to leave them home and go on short trips with peace of mind knowing they are getting the play and care they need.”


5. Brian W.

“Brian was great with Tucker all the way from the meet and greet through the two check ins. He made our anxious dog feel comfortable and his communication is great and proactive. We highly recommend Brian and will be booking him for weekly services going forward!”


6. Julie L.

“Julie was a fantastic sitter for my cat! She sent updates with every visit and made it a point to spend some time with him making sure he was comfortable with a new person in his space. Highly recommend”


7. Jennifer B.

“Jennifer was very helpful and able to help with only a few days notice, which was so appreciated! She spent time playing and making sure my Annabelle was checked in, fed and played with while I was gone. It put my mind at ease knowing Annabelle was in good hands. Jennifer is professional and kind and I would recommend her!”


8. Alyssa B.

“Alyssa did some weekly check-ins with our girl for a few weeks and was great! Bitsy loved hanging out with her and Alyssa left detailed notes and sent photos each day. We’ll definitely book again when needed!”


9. Blanca M.
About: I’ve been around dogs and other animals since I was 5 years old. I am capable of taking care of animals and giving the affection they need! I am experienced with small animals to large animals. I currently have the most free time this year and would be able to fit it within the days that I do not work part time or am in school. The only weekend i’m available is Sunday after 7PM. Other than that, Monday and Fridays i’m available all day and the rest need to be after 6PM Most needed care that the client’s home will like me to do, I would be able to do so since I have experience within a large range of dogs.

12. Christine D.

“I can't say enough about Christine and her willingness to help and care for my animals. I was so very worried to leave Caesar, my 15 y.o. dog who has hearing and sight issues, at home without me. Christine did her best to make my guys feel comfortable and loved!! My cat, Mahzick feel in love with her .<3 She was very timely each day, with her check-ins, which I noted on the app. and sent me many photos ( which eased my mind) every time she dropped in. My pets looked happy and I know they were!! When I arrived home, I noticed that she left me a "Welcome Back Mommy" note from the pets, on the door. :) She even washed some dishes that I had left in the sink!! SO sweet!! I couldn't be more appreciative of Christine and how she took all of my anxiety away. I had no worries at all. I would definitely have Christine help me again with Caesar and Mahzick. Thank you...Woof & Meow..”

“Stefanina did a great job caring for my cat. She arrived when she was supposed to, and completed the tasks as we had discussed. She was good about respecting my cat’s boundaries and I was pleasantly surprised that my nervous, shy cat actually came out and felt comfortable enough to receive attention! My cat and I both enjoyed our experience with Stefanina and would absolutely use her again!”
