“Yasmin went above and beyond and took my kitten Sir Snuggles to the vet when he was not feeling well (with my approval) when I was on travel abroad. She even got the vet on the phone at the appointment to talk to me. She was fantastic - and Snuggs is all better now thanks to her help.”

“Allison stayed with Maisie for four days in my home and it was an excellent experience. She provided daily updates and photos. Maisie was a happy girl! And my condo was in perfect order when I returned. Probably better than the way I left it. I will definitely ask Allison to come and stay with Maisie again. I have complete confidence and trust in her.”

“Summer did an amazing job. This was our first experience with in-home care and it was really reassuring to know that Bama was getting good care. She noticed if there were any issues, worked with me when things came up, and, most importantly gave her love and attention when we weren't there. Her vet tech training gave me peace of mind since Bama is an older dog. She sent pics and videos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely use Summer again if the need arose. Thanks, Summer!”

“Our three kitties, Ikey, Oscar, and Columbus, loved having Tiffany stay at our house with them over the Christmas holiday. She made time to meet with us twice before the time we were away, sent us pictures and videos, didn't hesitate to ask questions, and made us feel comfortable and confident that we made the right decision in having her kitty sit for us. We wouldn't hesitate to request her again in the future or recommend her to others. The house was just as clean when we got home as when we left it. We love Tiffany!”

“Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.”

“Madi was an absolute dream! They provided incredible peace of mind while house sitting and (most importantly) our cat LOVED them! Madi provided regular updates with photos and videos. They had daily playtime with our cat, and even came up with extra enrichment activities! They also made sure to have snuggle time, which was so important for our cat. Madi instantly connected with our cat, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! I would recommend Madi to anyone with pets in a heartbeat!”
