“Maura was amazing with our dogs! She was very prompt in answering messages and went above and beyond to make sure our 3 dogs were taken care of while we went on a mini vacation. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”


“We couldn't be more grateful for Jessie! She took amazing care of our beloved shepherds and our home while we were on vacation. Before finding Jessie, my husband and I rarely traveled together—we're very particular about who we trust with our dogs and our home. Jessie exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we booked with her, communication was clear, timely, and thoughtful. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our pups were happy, relaxed, and in great hands. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing everything back home was being cared for so well. Jessie’s attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals completely won us over. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and are already looking forward to future travel plans now that we have someone we trust completely. Highly, highly recommend!”


“Ella was amazing. She took my booking last minute and responded quickly. Ella showed up on time and seemed eager to meet our boys. You can tell Ella genuinely loves animals. Ella made us feel comfortable leaving the boys behind in her care. We came home to happy kids and the house just the way we left it. Ella kept in contact during her stay and sent us pictures and updates often. I would definitely book Ella again! Highly recommended!”


“I give Ben an A++. I couldn’t have asked for a better new buddy and caregiver for my fur babies. Ben’s calm and welcoming presence is exactly what my dog needed while I was away. I feel so much better knowing they are just as cared for and loved as when I am home.”

They light up when she comes over and she sends us photos while we are away. They're usually curled up with her in the recliner sleeping or she's playing ball with our Skylar.

She goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of my dog and he even tries to leave with her when she gets in her car. He loves getting to go on walks and getting pup cups at our local ice cream place. Would definitely recommend Karina 11/10 times to anyone needing this type of service!”
