“Angelly is a stellar pet/home sitter. She was willing to meet us and our pups prior to our booking, and knew we wanted to work with her when the dogs took a liking to her quickly. Communication was smooth and easy with "updates" and pictures. I would highly recommend her!”

“Anthony will go above and beyond for your pets. He has always been so good with my dogs. He will treat every dog like his own. He is very dedicated to make sure every pet is safe, happy and well taken care of.”


5. Michele M.
“I am so happy to write a testimonial for Michele! Michele has been a good friend for over 20 years and I have personally observed her commitment to her own pet family. She has always been a dog lover and has had a dog for as long as I have known her. In more recent years she adopted two large breed dogs in to her home and made a loving home for both of them. Both dogs had some anxiety issues at the time of their adoption, and through the creation of a loving environment she has helped them overcome their anxiety. Michele has a great relationship with our large German Shepherd and our small Bichon mix, and really connects with both dogs. Michele is kind, organized and timely and would be a wonderful dog sitter. She love walking dogs and would give any dog a lot of exercise over a sitting. She is also familiar with caring for older dogs and could give medications. I give her the highest recommendation.”

8. Baylee C.
“Baylee has watched my dog, Nina, when my fiancé and I are out of town and she is absolutely amazing. We always receive many pictures and videos of Nina when Baylee is at our house with her and it is always so nice to receive while we are away. I have known Baylee for about 6 years now and she has such a positive spirit and is always a joy to be around.”


9. Kapria W.
About: I am able to pay attention to detail and help identify what an animal tends to need as far as play time, food, sit and petting time. I am able and willing to help an animal navigate their needs and wants because it helps me to give them the care they deserve. I am a college student! I work part time and I have availability throughout the day that allows me to be able to dedicate time to help take care of animals. The biggest concerns for me when it comes to pets is ensuring that there’s consistency and a safe environment to help create a healthy home.
