5. Shelley B.

“Shelly was great! She had excellent communication including being flexible with our initial meet n’ greet, letting me know she has arrived at my home, and sending me pics of my pups playing in the yard. She is professional, personable, and I feel very comfortable trusting her with my pups and home.”


6. LN (Ellen) L.
“LN took care of our finicky cat over a weekend and handled our elderly stand-offish cat well. She texted us with updates and photos. From the pictures we could tell that our cat had definitely warmed up to LN. We appreciated that she sat and visited her for a little while. We will definitely use her again!”




7. Alexandra B.


“What can I say except - AWESOME! I booked Alex for drop in visits while I was out of town. I always have someone stay the night with my 3 pups, but was unable to find anyone available for overnights. I was concerned, but after her first drop in visit, I knew they were in excellent hands. She sent me a great newsy letter of their visit, video's, pictures and texts. I've never had anyone put such care into my pups well-being. She obviously loves animals...you can hear it in her voice/messages. I have a cockatiel too - and never mentioned anything about him. She even checked on him and gave him clean water and food. I'm always hesitant to leave my pups, but I will not worry again - I'll just make sure she's available before I take my trip! :)”


8. Lauren B.

“Lauren is a great person to drop in. She is friendly, easy going and reliable. She showed up on time for our 2 cats and left the home clean and smelling good. I would recommend her to anyone looking in the area and will be booking again soon!”


9. Rachael B.

“Raechel is a very caring sitter and went out of her way to understand what my cat Huckleberry would enjoy and tailored her visits to his needs. She is very passionate about her work and highly recommended!”


10. Izabelle K.

“Izzy did a great job taking care of our dog. He's took to her as soon as she walked in the door on her screening meeting. He's 15 years old and has never allowed anyone to take him on a walk besides family, but he went with Izzy. We've already booked her for another trip we have next month.”


11. Gabrielle K.
“Gabrielle is probably the most caring and kind person I have ever met. She is so amazing with any kind of animal. I have seen her with pups, cats, guinea pigs, fish, and just about any kind of animal. She is incredibly responsible and respectful. Any pet would be lucky to be watched by her.”


12. Madeline & Karen W.
“I trust Madeline so much with my pup! My dog is a bit special and struggles with anxiety. She is always compassionate and meets him where he is- no wonder he loses it with excitement when we turn on her street😂 She has the three friendliest dogs and my dog LOVES going over there. She is my number one go to when I need dog care and I could not recommend her enough!”


13. Brandon A.


“Brando was terrific! He did a great job communicating with us & keeping us informed. He visited us before we left to meet our dogs & learn the routine. We felt confident with him accessing our home to feed and play with dogs. Our family was able to relax & enjoy our trip, knowing they were in such good hands!”
