“I highly recommend Daisy! After our initial meet and greet, I felt very at ease leaving the care of my cat in her hands (especially with this being my first time ever using a pet sitter). She keeps great communication and responds very quickly to messages. I will definitely be seeking her services again in the future. Thank you so much!!”

5. Brooklin H.
“Brooklin was wonderful. Our dog was so happy when we returned and I could tell she was relaxed. Brooklin went above and beyond with notes and photos and I appreciated her care so much. I will definitely call her again for Wags. By the way, my dog is 9 and doesn't like going to other people's homes anymore the way she used to. To have Brooklin stop by twice a day while I was gone just put my mind at ease.”

13. Caitlynn S.
“It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial for a pet caregiver who is nothing short of amazing. Her dedication to animals is evident in the way she cares for dogs, cats, birds, fish, and more. She doesn’t just look after them; she provides the kind of tender loving care that truly makes a difference. Her love for animals shines through in every interaction, whether it’s her gentle approach with a shy cat or her playful engagement with an energetic dog. She understands the unique needs of each species, from the quiet companionship birds require to the active playtime dogs enjoy. What sets her apart is her attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. She ensures that each pet is not only fed and exercised but also feels loved and secure in their owner’s absence. Her intuitive understanding of animals’ emotional needs is remarkable, and it’s clear that she forms genuine bonds with every pet she cares for. Her reliability and professionalism provide peace of mind to pet owners, who can trust that their beloved companions are in the best hands. She communicates effectively, providing updates that reassure owners that their pets are happy and healthy. In a world where pets are considered part of the family, it’s comforting to know there is someone who treats them with the same level of care and affection. She is a true animal lover, and her passion for pet care is truly inspiring. Any pet would be fortunate to be under her care, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services to any pet owner seeking the best for their furry, feathered, or finned friends”
14. Kierstin C.
“I can't recommend Kierstin enough! They have been watching my dog for the past few years, and I am incredibly impressed with their professionalism and care. My dog always comes back happy and tired, which tells me they had a great time. Kierstin is punctual, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. I feel completely at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands. If you're looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker, Kierstin is the one to choose!"”

16. Shailin B.
“Shailin has watched all four of my dogs. They all love her so much. She’s very patient and kind to them. She treats them as if they’re hers. Shailin is very caring by making sure they’re fed and have plenty of water. Takes them on walks and plays great with them. Shailin will be great to watch anyone’s fur babies.”
17. Jake A.
“I recently had to find a new dog sitter because mine move. I took a chance with Jake and he did not disappoint. He was phenomenal with our dog, he took him on multiple walks which was not mandatory. He asked for feedback to make sure he was doing everything he needed for us as our new sitter. I will definitely be booking him again! Thank you”

19. Michelle F.
“I have worked with Michelle for 23 years and she is one of the biggest animal lovers that I know. Her pets are her children, and she is soo loving and caring to them all. She has never been without them, and they come in all shapes and sizes. She has big dogs of her own as well as her feline family, as she and her husband are known to rescue or care for strays in the neighborhood. I would feel 100% comfortable and confident knowing Michelle was caring for my pets.”
20. Nancy B.
“Nancy was great! She took care of my 2 cats and house while I was away. I got daily photos and she even picked up my mail and a package that was delivered. I felt very comfortable on my trip knowing she was taking care of everything. Thanks, Nancy!”
