“Molly was absolutely phenomenal!!! Can't say enough positive things! She is kind, sweet, nice, and handled our unsocialized dogs with ease and expertise. Every visit she went above and beyond what we expected. Our German Shepherd that doesn't like anyone warmed up to her in only a few visits. Now they are best friends. Leaving our loved ones home has always been a stressful experience. Not anymore! We are so happy and fortunate to have found Molly, and can't wait to utilize her exemplary services again!”

“Carly is FABULOUS! She always leaves a detailed summary of her visits- which is huge with my senior dog and keeping track of bowel habits and tinkles. Carly walks with my girl in the yard and takes time for lots of pets. Carly pays attention to and adjusts for my dogs significant loss of hearing to avoid startling. If I could give her 10 stars I would.”

“Brad took care of our two dogs and two cats in our house while we were gone for two weeks. He was awesome! He is a warm and caring person who loves animals. We felt very comfortable entrusting him with our pets and we would recommend him to anyone.”

“Courtney & Zack were great!! Because of my work schedule, I needed someone at the last minute to stop by and let my dog outside. I loved how quickly they responded and how easy the whole process was. Receiving photos of how things went was a bonus!! I will definitely be using them again!!!”

“Lindsay made our pups days better. Pictures were great. She didn't rush out when the scheduled time was over but gave them extra attention. Lindsay will be our 1st choice.”


“I have Lauren stop in midday on my 12hr shifts and she has been so understanding with my ever changing schedules. It’s great to know that my pups are being taken care of and she always sends a lil blurb about how they did!”
