1. Tara S.

“Tara was awesome. She came to visit me prior to the first paid visit. She communicated well and didn’t tone with my cat during her visits. Thanks again.”




2. Kim O.

“Kim continues to remain our go-to sitter for our cat Bob. Despite Thanksgiving being one of the busiest times of the year, Kim did twice-a-day drop ins to care for our sweet, shy kitty. She provided plenty of play time, head scratches and loving attention for Bob, and made sure his surroundings were safe and clean. Kim always provides fantastic picture updates and detailed summaries of her check ins that put anxious pet parents like me at ease. I highly recommend Kim to cat parents out there!”


3. Abigail B.

“Abigail was great! She was very communicative and friendly. She went above and beyond with my 80 lb pup and he loved her company. Would definitely book Abigail again!”


4. Barbara B.

“Barbara did a great job with my two older dogs. This was a fairly last-minute request, I lost my original coverage for my dogs the following day. Barbara came that evening to meet me and the dogs. The midday visit next day went perfectly. Very reliable and took great care of my "kids".”


5. Amanda C.

“Amanda was awesome! I didn't worry about Gustave the whole time I was gone. She gave him plenty of treats, extra attention and even clipped his nails. I would recommend her care to anyone!”


6. Sarah A.
About: I have been a pet lover since day one! I have had dogs as big as loving labs, as small as cocker spaniels, and rescues in between. Each one had their own personality, character and energy levels but were all loved the same. I do have experience with senior dogs as well who have needed a little extra help to accommodate their day to day needs as they lost their sight, hearing or became less mobile. Every pet deserves love and attention and I look forward to helping meet their needs! I am currently a dental hygiene student with a part time job one night a week. Since my school days are much shorter than the average work day, I have plenty of time to keep your pet company while you are away. I am comfortable walking dogs of any size. Currently I do not do sitting in my own home, but look forward to playing outside if there is a fenced in yard, walks in your neighborhood, and playing with your pups favorite toys.


7. Kylie B.

“Kylie was great with both of my dogs who need to be kept separated, and I was able to trust her with that while I was out for a few hours. We will definitely be using her services again and my dogs will be very happy to see her again!🐾”


8. Jessica M.

“Jessica was so great with my babies! She played with them each time she visited and made sure they got lots of love. She even got my shy little guy to come out and play and get cuddles. Highly recommend Jessica! You and your furry friends won't regret it!”


9. Haley M.

10. Ixia A.
“Ixia is amazing! She’s caring, friendly, and always on time. Our dog loves her, and we feel great knowing he’s in such good hands with her.”


11. Nicole L.
“Nicole is truly a natural when it comes to caring for animals. She watched over my Diva and Shadow, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the moment she met them, I could tell she genuinely loves animals. She was patient, attentive, and treated them like they were her own. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving hands. If you’re looking for someone who’s dependable & passionate about animals, Nicole is your girl!!”


12. Kristie & Dominick S.

“As appears to be the norm, exceeded our expectations once again. Thank you Kristie, we appreciate you so much. It is never easy leaving our girls, knowing you are there with them makes all the difference!”


13. Angela & Adam C.

“Angela & Adam had great professional holiday energy for my senior kitties. They sent thorough reports and great/festive pictures that made us laugh which helped my son cause he always misses our fur babies when we are out of town. It is so refreshing to meet folks who genuinely love animals and provide top notch care!”




14. Colleen H.


“Colleen is great at what she does. She's very professional and has organized a meet and greet with my old pug, Shay. She is very understanding and has accommodated me on her schedule with very short notice. I will be rebooking with her on my next future trips. Thanks you so much!”

20. Madeline Y.

“Madeline is the BEST sitter for my fur child!! She listened to all my lengthy details and the way I like to keep things on schedule (bless her, I can be tedious!) she followed everything I asked and went above and beyond to love and take care of my sweet baby. My dog just had surgery and Madeline made her feel comfortable, supported, and loved extra! She even got in the floor and laid with her to make her feel comfort. She gave medicine, feedings, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. She sent photos and updates daily to keep me involved while I was away. She gave my worried dog mom heart all the good feels and I will DEFINITELY book her again!! Thank you, Madeline! 🐶”
