22. Katherine M.
“Katherine has looked after my pets a number of times. Her dedication is unparalleled. I had one pet that needed medication twice per day and Katherine never missed a shift. She not only cared for my pets but she frequently spent extra time playing with them which kept them stimulated and loved while I was traveling. I can't think of anyone I'd trust more with my animals. Highly recommend.”

“Booked Alyssa for a drop-in for my cat Niall while I was away this weekend, she sent pics and kept me updated. Even brought him a little cat toy!”


26. Isabella S.
“Isabella helped take care of my Australian Shepherd, Violet. She was always very attentive and made sure to prioritize my pet's safety and well-being. Isabella was great with Violet; Aussies are very energetic dogs, and she had no problem adjusting. About a year and a half ago, Violet was diagnosed with lymphoma, and her needs had to be adapted accordingly. Isabella proved to be extremely competent and demonstrated an immense amount of care for her during such a difficult time. When our family was occupied and needed someone we could count on to take care of Violet, Isabella was always available to help us out. Violet has since passed, but we are certain that she loved Isabella for all the attention and care she provided during her last moments. Isabella is a very sweet person who is dedicated, caring, and extremely responsible. I guarantee that anyone who meets her will agree. Thank you Isabella, for all the help and care you provided for our Violet”
