“We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience with Heather. After a few disappointing encounters with other sitters who didn’t even show up to meet our dog, Heather was a breath of fresh air. Not only did she show up as promised, but she immediately connected with our dog, treating him with genuine warmth and affection. While we were away, Heather cared for our pup as if he were her own—providing regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear he was in loving and capable hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Heather to anyone in need of a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter. She exceeded all of our expectations.”
“She was great! My cat warmed up to her quickly even though it took him 1 year to warm up to me! She helped me in a bind with my car keys and was understanding when I forgot to leave her my house keys. We worked it out.”
“Tara was very quick to respond and help us work out every detail for our first trip away from our 11 month old puppy, Bella. Tara’s daughter Emily had taken care of her on several occasions before, but we were still worried about our first longer trip away as she is very attached to us. Emily was extremely thoughtful about that, sending pictures and updates several times a day to put our minds at ease. She stayed in our home with Bella and not only took great care of her, following every detail of the lengthy list of care instructions I had provided, but also took great care of our home. Bella was in great spirits when we returned and our home was so neat and clean you would never have known anyone had been there while we were gone. I am so grateful for the very thoughtful care and professionalism from Tara and Emily and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for trustworthy, reliable, genuine care for their furry family members!”

“Kathy G was awesome with our pups while we were gone. She sent updates, pictures and more every day which really kept us from worrying about our fur babies! She also left us a clean house and kept up on the dog items that needed washing. We will definitely call Kathy G again!”
“Tiffany, was great! She listened carefully when I gave her directions and then modified them when things changed with my dog Tcup. She alerted me when my dog got anxious and she kindly helped to calm him down. All in all she got to really enjoy him which made me glad that he had good company!”
