Deb was amazing with our pups! This was their first time with a new sitter and immediately fell in love. Deb sent detailed updates every day and spent a little extra time with them when one was not feeling well. She even cleaned up some poopy accidents! (Sorry again for that additional unexpected work!). Will definitely be booking her again. My dogs would be very upset if I didn't!

I have two aussies who both love her! My older dog scout is very particular about who he lets in the house and within seconds of her being in our home he had already welcomed her with kisses and a wiggly butt! Great updates the whole time we are away and made us feel super comfy from the start!! Can’t thank her enough!!!!

Our 3 dogs are vocal and high energy, and Kiara commanded the room when she walked in. They are all sizes and temperaments. She settled them down, got them out for walks and sent us photos. Everything went to plan. She is as advertised and a very experienced dog handler. Book with confidence. Thanks.

I couldn’t be happier with the cat sitting service I received! From the moment I reached out, Ioana was responsive, friendly, and incredibly professional. She took the time to get to know my cat and his routine, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I received regular updates and pictures, and it was clear that my cat was comfortable and well cared for. Ioana went above and beyond, even making sure my cat’s litter was kept clean. I highly recommend Ioana to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy!

If Merri is one thing, it’s a pet lover. Every decision she makes you can tell she factors in her wonderful dogs and they always seem so well cared for and just as importantly, so happy. She has watched my 3 dogs before and they never want her to leave when they spend time with her. She also does a great job with my cats. She is the definition of someone you would want watching your animals.
