We became friends, and she has been pet sitting all of my cats for the last 15 years whenever I travel. She is dependable, reliable and trustworthy. I never worry about them when I am away, since I know Norah will take excellent care of them. I do not own a dog, but I have seen how wonderful she is with dogs. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter or dogwalker. She is the best.”

“Marianne would provide safe, caring and loving care for your pet. She is one of the most responsible people I know and having had her care for my dog I can attest to the fact how easy she made it for me to go away. The photo's and videos she sent daily made my day. Her dog Smokey was a very lucky pup to have her as a mom. She is a terrific human being and I can't say enough about how responsible she is. My dog recently passed but when I get a new one there is no one else I would entrust them with.”

Emily B.
“Emily stayed in my house and watched my family's 160lb English Mastiff for 2 nights while we were on vacation. We were more than trusting that she would take care of our beloved pup because she is a very responsible and caring dog lover herself! She has been surrounded by dogs her whole life and bonds very well with them. She came over a few days before we left for vacation so we could go through the dog's routine with her and she made sure everything we said our dog needed was completed! Emily is extremely trustworthy and mature but is not afraid to ask questions when she needs clarification. She will bond very well with your pet and I assure you will be at ease knowing your animal is in safe hands and a loving heart!”
