5. Kiersten P.
“I would absolutely recommend Kirsten for your pet care needs. My cat and bouncy 9 month old hound were so well attended to that I don't think they even missed me. The house was so tidy that it was hard to tell anyone had stayed here. Kirsten was in constant contact with me via texts and photos. Im so glad I found someone I can depend on when I need help.”
6. Whitney G.
“Whitney is so wonderful! Great communication, was a natural with my cat who has a bit of personality, and most of all was able to give my cat an excellent level of care while I was out of town. So grateful!”
7. Molly Elizabeth M.
“Molly is a delight to work with - she warmed to our pit mix Kai immediately and gave her a loving, cuddly weekend while we were away. She's very responsive and provided great updates throughout. We feel very lucky to have found Molly!”
8. Pamela J.
“Pam was a great pet sitter. She had patience with my dog who had never been away from us before. We received pictures and updates daily. She walked Abbey and played with her. I would definitely book her again when we plan a trip. Thanks Pam for being so kind.”
9. Jess D.
“Jess stayed in my home for 15 days and took care of my mini pig (lives inside), 3 cats, and fish. She went above and beyond. She had some issues with a grumpy pig the first few days and I am beyond grateful that she stuck it out and gave him the time and patience he needed for her to be accepted into his circle. She really made our trip so much more relaxing as I didn't have to worry about my fur babies or home while we were across the world. I appreciate her effort, time, and love she gave to my pets. I will definitely have Jess back and recommend her!”

11. Rachel L.

14. Nancy A.
“Nancy is wonderful! So friendly and kind and my elder pup adored her and had a wonderful day with her while I ran errands. She even went above and beyond by staying an extra half hour when I got held up at a Dr appt. I highly highly recommend her! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my child, Nancy!”
15. Danica D.
“I think I’ll be home 4 to 5ish. My son has us set on a boat ride 12-2 in Lake George.. I thought if you lean the gray gate against the wall where he dug, maybe that would keep him away so he doesn’t do more damage.”
