1. Diane K.

“Rae was great. When she came to pick up the keys she had 2 of my 3 cats interacting well with her within minutes. My scaredy cat took a day longer, but he was at least not hiding from her on the next visit. On the human level, she is friendly and professional. I am definitely willing to hire her again.”


2. Susan S.

“Susan and her fiancé were wonderful! Great communication, updates and photos after visits- hopefully they will be willing to come back again for our next trip 😂”


3. Kevin T.

“Kevin took such great care of our dog Griffin when we were out of town. Griffin took to Kevin immediately, which helped put my mind at ease while I was away. Kevin was very communicative and left really thoughtful and helpful details on Griffin’s report card. We will definitely be reaching out to Kevin whenever we need a sitter for Griffin. Thank you again!”

6. Jenny H.

“I had Jenny watch my three very active pups over the weekend.. she was timely on all visits, reliable not only in giving them their exercise but medication as well. I was at peace and could enjoy my time knowing I had her caring for my pups and my home. We stayed in touch the whole time. I would use her again in a heartbeat! She gave my fur babies love and my home was in good hands.”

9. Marlee B.
“Marlee has been our go-to for our 2 year old Sheepadoodle, Oliver for as long as we’ve had him. Marlee is an all around extraordinary pet caregiver and truly leaves an impact on your dog’s life. Aside from doing all pet caregiver things just as we would with Oliver, she truly has formed a special bond with him whereas now every time we say her name, he gets SO excited (literally jumping with joy). She is reliable, trustworthy and always goes the extra mile whether it’s sending pictures and videos when we are away to give us the added comfort he’s well taken care of or getting him his favorite puppy ice cream (with our approval of course!) She is beyond caring and loving and we are so lucky to have her for our Ollie!!!”


10. Eleanor S.

“Ellie is the absolute best! My animals adore her. She takes her job very seriously. Ellie stays at least a half hour for EVERY visit. She gives my animals so much love and affection. If they need medication Ellie makes sure they get it. We have total piece of mind when we go away now. Thanks to Ellie.”


11. Patrick T.
“They say a dog is man’s best friend, but Patrick truly is a dog’s best man. Patrick pours his heart & soul into everything he does - including caring for the ones he loves (whether two legs or four). He is reliable hand for dog walking, medication administration, feeding your pups, dog sitting, & more!”


12. Sydney T.
“Sydney has taken care of our now 5 year old Australian Shepherd since we brought him home as a puppy! She is very caring and responsive. Our dog looks forward to her arrival!!”


13. Simla T.
“Simla has been caring for my two cats, Smokey and Nova, for over a year now, and I truly couldn’t ask for a more trustworthy and loving sitter. She’s incredibly reliable, attentive, and treats my cats like they’re her own. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in her care whether it’s for a quick check-in or an extended stay. Simla is one of the few people I trust completely with Smokey and Nova, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and understands animals.”


14. Shannon H.

“Shannon has been amazing… she has helped us out for both an overnight visit and a drop in. She is so sweet to Benji and always makes sure that he feels extra love and doesn’t miss us! She’s kept up his schedule and exercise and is very aware of his heart condition and doesn’t push him. She is very helpful and polite. Would definitely use her over and over!”

“Andi did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Maven, who is a large breed & hyper ball of energy! Maven can be quite a handful, but Andi managed him so well. His patience and understanding of Maven's high energy were impressive, and I could tell my dog was in great hands.”

“Halli , Is probably the biggest animal lover i know. Wheather it's a turtle or a dog , they seem to adore her. She is responsible and caring and can be trusted with any animal.”


19. Maria L.

“Maria was AMAZING! My two kitty cats warmed up to her instantly which, if you have a cat, that says A LOT about how warm and inviting her energy is. I’m just traveling in this area so I’m not local but if I was… I would definitely be hiring Maria every time to take care of my babies. Thank you again!”


20. Joseph A.
“I have known Joey for over 15 years, and he is a wonderful, compassionate, hard-working human. He has provided excellent care when boarding my high energy, 80 pound fur baby. I am always cautious when booking care for my dog because he has a habit of getting into stuff when he is bored, which can be destructive or dangerous. When my dog was boarded with Joey, I knew he would be kept safe! Joey walked him regularly, kept him safe, and made him feel right at home with snuggles. He was happy to provide an update whenever I was missing my pup and he sent plenty of pictures! I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup. I would absolutely board my dog with him again.”
