“Our girls loved Lisa! She cared well for our doxies and loved on them!! I’m not sure they were glad we came home!! 😂 Lisa sent multiple pictures daily and stayed until our delayed flight landed. The house was exactly as we left it and I appreciate that!! Thank you so very much!!”
“Chrissy W. did an amazing job watching our pets! She made sure they were fed, gave them medications, played with them, she even sent me pictures and videos of our pets while we were gone. When we got home the pets were relaxed and happy. We will definitely use Chrissy again to watch our pets.”
“Autumn was amazing with out 2 English setters- she handled medications wonderfully and gave them so much attention and walks! Our neighbor even commented on how great she was. Look forward to using her again!”
“Breanna did amazing with our dogs! We have a large German Shepherd that we just adopted and she seemed very experienced with larger breeds and rescues. She was very communicative and made sure we were updated throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend her, she made us feel confident our dogs would be safe and well taken care of while we were out of town.”
“Alex recently stayed at our house to take care of our Cocker (Cooper) as well as tropical fish. Cooper took to her right away. She obviously has a love of dogs. Many walks and pictures. No dead fish! Highly recommended!”
“I would highly recommend Callie and will definitely be using her services again. My dog is raw fed with many allergies and is also a bully breed that requires a little extra TLC. She made the entire process smooth and stress free for everyone! She went above and beyond. Thank you Callie!”
“Elizabeth was a great replacement for us. Treated our dogs as her own. Kept the house clean and sent daily texts about how the girls were doing. We definitely made the right choice in choosing her! It can be scary leaving your babies with a stranger, but after a day away I was at ease. My girls are older and need meds, wear diapers sometimes, have special diets and she handled it all perfectly!!”
“Sarah was absolutely incredible! She took such good care of my dog while I went on vacation. I am so happy with the job she did. Multiple updates throughout the day, pictures, and great communication. I recommend Sarah for any pet-care needs you may have!”
“Marsha watched our three elderly dogs (2 14 yr olds and a 12 yr old) for five days in our home and did a fantastic job. She was able to understand their many needs and she catered to them immensely. Marsha kept in contact with us and sent pictures to us. This was the first time we had a stranger to the dogs watch them and she won them over hands down. Marsha is a wonderful person and dog sitter and we would easily have her back again!!”
“Amazing with our energetic doggie! Was very easy to communicate with her! She takes care of your animals as if they were hers! Very responsible and respectful! Will be using her services again!”

Lisa is fantastic with our two pups! I have to say they are a bit spoiled but she caters to their requirements without any hesitation. Our home is cared for as well. We come home to find our babes and the house just as we left them. We have no concerns leaving the girls under her loving care!
