“I was beyond impressed with Kellie! They are worth their weight in gold! Our dogs got into a pretty bad fight a week before we were to leave on vacation, and not only did Kellie not shy away, she totally put my nervousness at ease. The dogs LOVED her! The house was clean and everything was truly perfect. Even though I couldn't respond all of the time to the photos, those were so fun to see. Thank you again Kellie!”

8. Aoife A.


“Aoife was absolutely wonderful. They provided regular updates, photos and videos throughout our trip. One of our dogs can take awhile to warm up to strangers and it did not take long for our pup to feel comfortable. Aoife took the the pups on daily walks and made sure the house was clean and orderly when we returned. They followed all of our directions and made sure my fish were fed as well. I had full confidence that Aoife was able to take care of our animals and allowed us to have peace of mind on our trip. Thank you so much for loving our fur babies as much as we do and providing a calming environment to let them feel safe and loved while we were gone. Will definitely hire again!”

During our week's vacation while she was house-sitting and pet-sitting for us, she responded promptly to all text-messages, which we greatly appreciated. When we returned home after our vacation, our dog Lulu seemed very calm, cheerful and well cared-for. In addition, Madison fed the birds in our yard, left our house as neat as a pin, and left us a detailed note. Madison is terrific.”


18. Karen Q.

20. Kara Marie N.

“Kara did a wonderful job pet sitting my senior disabled dog, Payaso. He is not friendly to people he doesn't know, but Kara managed to win him over and take excellent care of him despite his grumpy nature. :) She asked me clear questions throughout her time with Payaso in order to give him the best care possible. She sent me frequent updates on how he was doing and kept up communication with me throughout my trip which I really appreciated, since he is in the hospice stage of his life. If anyone can take good care of your baby while you are away, it is Kara. Book her and tip her well because her rates don't do justice to her abilities. Thank you for everything, Kara! <3”
