5. Colleen Elizabeth H.
“I will review Colleen every chance I get because she is that fantastic! Today, she was able to check in on my cat when I requested VERY last minute on an holiday weekend and I could not be more grateful! She even communicates if she notices something concerning my pets’ health. I trust very few people to care for my cat and dog and Colleen is certainly one of them!”
6. Bria C.
“Bria was the best! She was very communicative and made sure to keep us in the loop about the care of our cat. She was punctual, easy to reach, and took the most care of our anxious cat, Mira. We will definitely be using Bria for Mira’s care again in the future. Thanks again!”

“Kaylee is amazing with dogs. I have personally witnessed her not only have the time of her life with, but also properly manage interacting with my own 110 pound American bulldog. Kaylee also has multiple very loved and well taken care of dogs. If you want someone who will adore your pet like they’re their own pet, have a blast with them and help the pet enjoy it too, and can handle large breed or small breed animals she is perfect for the job!”

“One of my dogs recently injured her leg in a big way and requires a great deal of specialized attention and adherence to her strict medication schedule. Sara could not have been more attentive to both of my dogs and their myriad needs. I received fantastic pictures and communication all throughout Sara's time with my dogs. You simply cannot find a better person to take care of your animals.”
20. Jenni L.
“Jenni was WONDERFUL! On her second visit she asked if she could bring her dog for a playdate with her boyfriend and she sent photos and videos of happy, tail wagging pups playing ball together! I'm going to hire Jenni to come more regularly, hopefully with her pup! I will definitely use her for boarding because now my guy will be right at home with them all!”
