“Bailey came and did a meet and greet with my pups. They took to her immediately as they can tell she truly loves animals. She took notes for our coming visit and implemented her tasks wonderfully. I got picture updates on how they were doing for the day and when one of my pups had an accident in the house, she cleaned it up perfectly. Highly recommend her and will be using her services again. 😃”

7. Helen W.
“Helen is a true dog lover. She is able to work with all sizes of dogs. She has worked with a trainer and has a very good understanding of animal behavior and how to work with difficult behaviors. Helen taught me that the dog walk is not just bonding/training time between dog and walker but also an exciting sensory experience that is very important in very dog’s day. She is very dependable no matter what the weather is like. If the dog will go out she will too! She will be an excellent addition to Rover.”

“This has been a wonderful experience for both Mishu and I. Lisa and her daughter Aeryin could not have been more attentive to all of my cat’s needs. I was sent daily updates with pictures, which I loved. Mishu got to try new activities and even bonded with the other animals at Lisa’s house. My cat came home looking calm and happy! I’m so pleased with this experience and we would definitely love to repeat it. I recommend Lisa and Matthew as excellent and responsible pet sitters.”

“I set up the appointment with Erin as an opportunity to meet and have an initial interaction. She immediately was focused on building a connection with my Bentley and by playing and interacting was already picking up on nuances of Bentley and showed a genuine interest and affection. I wouldn't hesitate to have Erin spend extended time with Bentley knowing he would be well taken care of. Think he's missing her already!”
19. Kristin M.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Kristin for anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter/walker. Kristin has taken care of our dog on multiple occasions, and we couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and attention she provides. She is very punctual, responsive, and ensures that our dog is not only well-fed and exercised but also receives plenty of love and affection. Our lab adores her and we feel comfortable leaving her knowing she is in good hands and is happy when we return. I highly recommend Kristin to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
20. Tiffany E.
“Tiffany is a fantastic caretaker. We have had her take care of our cat multiple times now and she is always reliable and communicative. Our cat can be a bit slow to come out of her shell and Tiffany sends us helpful updates when we're away. Thank you!!!”
