11. Geneva K.
“We recently had the pleasure of entrusting our pup to the care of Geneva and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment we met Geneva, we could sense her genuine love and passion for animals, and that was reassuring right off the bat. Communication was impeccable. We received regular updates, including photos, which brought us peace of mind knowing that our furry companion was in good hands. It was evident that Geneva took the time to understand our pet's needs and preferences, and she catered to them with care and attention to detail. Overall, we cannot recommend Geneva highly enough. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals makes her an exceptional choice for anyone seeking pet-sitting services. She is truly a gem in the world of pet-sitting!”

14. Michael S.
“Michael handled my high-energy, but high-Velcro dog like a pro! I was in town for a wedding and needed to leave my pup overnight. He was kind enough to pick her up before the event, gave her lots of walks and attention, and was great at providing me updates throughout. He was easy to communicate with and I knew my pup was in great hands. Will definitely reach out if I’m visiting again!”
15. Ryan K.

16. Kat D.
“My puppy LOVES Kat. She helped her so much with her walking skills. Kat is a sweetheart and I trust her so much with my pup.”
17. Christy J.
“I have known Christy for over 16 years now and she is a true animal lover! She adores watching my fur baby (French Bulldog, Hazel ("Hazy")), and treats her just like a family member-she is truly amazing with animals! Hazy can't wait to go visit her "other Mama," Christy, and is always so super excited to see her! Christy watched Hazy as a puppy, when I first brought her home and [unbeknownst to us at the time], was sick and Christy took the best care of her. Prior to Hazy, Christy also took on Hazel's predecessor, Aurora, a wonderful, much older (slower!) Pug, with great care and affection! She is fun, energetic, loves to take the furries on walks and play with them, not to mention has a great dog yard and a super pet friendly home. Your fur babies will feel right at home, either "chillin' on the couch," or off on an excellent adventure!! They will be in the best of hands with Christy!!! Five *****!!!”
18. Tyler W.
“Amazing, Thanks Tyler!”
19. Jessica A.
“Wolfie had a wonderful time with you, Jessica! Thank you! We would be very happy to have Wolfie stay with you again! Thanks for all the wonderful photos and clear communication.”
20. Alicia & Max V.
“Alicia and Max took wonderful care of my 3 month old yellow lab, Charlie. They provided consistent updates about her meal time, potty breaks and playtime! I was a bit nervous to leave her for a few days since she wasn’t fully vaccinated yet but they were very cautious not taking her into public settings. I highly recommend Alicia and Max and will definitely use them in the future.”
