Kerry communicates well and has always helped us feel confident when we are out of town that our fur kids are well cared for. I would highly recommend Kerry to any of my friends and family.”


Anna M.
“We are incredibly grateful for Anna's exceptional care of our beloved Yorkies, Rory and Finley, while we were away. Anna graciously stayed at our home, allowing our pups to remain in their familiar environment, which is so important for their well-being. Both Rory and Finley are quite small (4 and 5 pounds), and we find that having a sitter stay with them is the best option compared to using kennels. Anna treated them like her own, showering them with love and attention. She provided us with regular updates and check-ins, which put our minds at ease while we were away. To our surprise, Rory and Finley seemed genuinely happy and enjoyed having Anna as their playmate! It's clear they formed a wonderful bond, and we couldn't have asked for better care. Anna did a fantastic job, and we will definitely rely on her as our go-to house and pet sitter in the future. She is courteous, polite, and remarkably trustworthy. Thank you, Anna, for being such a wonderful friend to our fur babies!”
