“Sarah was a great sitter who made my pup feel right at home. She has a great outdoor space and Mesa was very welcoming. Will definitely rebook and highly recommend Sarah.”
“This was our first time leaving our pup for more than a few days and needless to say we were only a little tightly wound about it. But Shirley made us feel like we could breathe on our travels and actually be present in the moments. Not only did she keep him loved and cared for, but she was the ultimate documentarian, showering us with plenty of pics and videos to never feel left out. I would highly recommend Shirley for any pet care taking needs, and would love to have her watch Kaito again.”
“Great communication and did amazing with our anxious doggie. It was hard to predict our dog’s anxiety level as she had never been away from us for so long, but they really made it work. Grateful for their service”

“It was a pleasure having tanqueray look after my baby Mya . She kept me updated with Mya and took such great care of Mya . Mya has never been away from home before so I was a bit iffy at first but tanqueray made me feel so much more calm and relaxed. Definitely will be booking with her next week”
“Michelle was very professional despite my dog going through pretty heavy separation anxiety from me. Sadly I will not be using her again because I think my dog needs to be with more of a pack, but would recommend her to anyone who's looking for around the clock care of their precious furbaby. She was flexible, communicative and very polite.”
“We are so grateful for Corey and Robert. They were able to help us out in a pinch and went absolutely above and beyond.

Will DEFINITELY use again.”
