I can’t recommend Summar enough! She took care of my cat while I was out of town, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Not only was she proactive about cleaning and keeping everything tidy, but she also paid close attention to his medication instructions, which was a huge relief. Knowing that she’s trained in pet CPR gave me extra peace of mind, and it’s clear she’s genuinely passionate about animal care. She even sent multiple photos and updates, so I never had to worry about how he was doing. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!

Karachi is a terrific dog sitter. She works from home so she is with Colby all the time. He loves that. She takes him for walks and has won his trust. She also is kind to us. She changed the bed and washed the sheets and towel for us. And she left the house as clean and tidy as we left it for how. We are grateful!

Rachelle watched our two kitties for a weekend/overnight stay, including administering asthma medication and following lengthy instructions from anxious cat parents. We got tons of great pictures (above and beyond!) and exceptionally speedy communication throughout. We’re grateful for Rachelle’s care, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail. Thank you!

Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!

Katelyn did a wonderful job sitting for our senior dog with significant mobility related special needs. She followed our detailed instructions, checked in regularly, and sent lots of updates. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would definitely recommend her and book her again.

Drew was very patient with our dog, who can be (and was) very difficult. He handled her like a pro and she warmed up to him very quickly. He also ensured that our cat received all her required meds and was otherwise well cared for. I would highly recommend his services and will definitely book him again if we can.

Carolina was just awesome! She was caring and kind to all the pups. She took extra care for the smallest pup who is very sensitive. She is responsible, responsive, very reliable and great communication skills. The pups were very comfortable with her right away as they can sense a warm caring animal lover. I felt super comfortable with her taking excellent care and being present for them. She stayed with them and I super appreciate all her time and effort to make everyone comfortable and cozy. Great Big Thank You Carolina!

We were really pleased to have Amber dog sit in our home. We have a small, elderly anxious dog with separation anxiety who is slow to trust new people. We felt that having him stay in his own environment would be one less stressor for him while we were gone. Amber proactively set up two meet and greets to ensure that our dog became familiar with her before we left. She asked a lot of questions about his regular habits and routines, which put us at ease. While we were away she communicated with us daily about how he was doing and how he was gradually becoming comfortable with her. The care she took helped us enjoy our vacation. We would happily hire her again.

We were so appreciative of having Chelsey take care of our 2 Shih Tzus. I didn’t have any apprehension while Chelsey was here to watch our dogs. She sent us so many wonderful photos of our 2 pups. It was so fun to see what the 2 pups were doing and how happy and relaxed they looked! I totally recommend having Chelsey in to take care of your pets!

Michael recently cared for my 5 year old Scottish Terrier, Sophia. Michael walked, fed, and cared for Sophia for nearly a week. Although Sophia had briefly met Michael before, she had not spent any length of time with her. Because of Michael's rapport and her gentle nature with dogs, Sophia immediately warmed up to her. Michael sent photos of Sophia while she was caring for her and updated me with their daily activities. It was easy to tell when I returned home that Sophia was happy, healthy and well cared for. I have known Michael all of her life. She is a mature, responsible and caring person, who is passionate in her love for dogs. Michael is trustworthy and will go out of her way to accommodate any client and their pet. I highly recommend her.

Julia was fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and two cats for a week - no small feat considering our beagles have separation anxiety and other behavioral issues. Julia has a warm, calm energy and the dogs took to her right away. She’s a great communicator and sent text updates and pics every day. We had complete peace of mind for the entire week.
