“I've known Stephany for 9 years, and she's a fantastic pet owner and animal lover. She currently cares for her adorable cat, Courtney, and has years of experience caring for dogs as well. Stephany is responsible, reliable, and genuinely adores spending time with animals. I'm confident she would provide excellent care for your furry friends, whether it's a walk in the park or some quality cuddle time.

6. Fabian H.
“There are only a few people I trust to watch after my dog (I’m a very anxious person) and Fabian eased all of my worries! He listened to all of my concerns and assured me he would take the upmost care of my dog while I was on vacation. Fabian went above and beyond. He sent me multiple pictures a day as well as videos of him walking him, playing with him and all of the cuddles. Now whenever my dog sees him he is literally so excited that he jumps in Fabian’s arms. 10/10 experience and he is now my go to person to ask to dog sit.”


7. Katelyn T.

“Super reliable! Amazing with my babies. Would definitely use again!”


8. Angelo M.

“Angelo was incredibly diligent, reliable, and knowledgeable about cats. Just aa importantly, he was extremely focused on my cats comfort and well being. He seemed to take their care very seriously, and asked lots of questions about their habits, what toys they like to play with, etc. Angelo is also a great communicator (regular text updates and pictures). This was the first time I’ve left my cats with someone they didn’t really know, so I was a little nervous, but he was so conscientious that I knew they were in good hands. I will certainly be hiring Angelo again!”


9. Vanessa F.
“Vanessa was so amazing with all of my babies from taking them on long walks and even spending generous time playing with them so they wouldn't feel as alone when I went out of town. She was super helpful with daily updates, sent pictures while I was away and even tended to the cats as well. I will DEFINITELY be using her in the future and recommend her to all my friends with both dogs and cats!”


10. Dana Z.


“Dana was beyond exceptional and her star rating should be more than what’s listed. She was gentle caring and knowledgeable, which calmed my fears about someone else watching my baby. This was the first time that I’ve used and the first time my dog was cared for by someone other than me. I can’t say Thank you enough to her. I would 200% recommend her to anyone needing a skilled, reliable and caring person for dog services.”


11. Mercedes L.
“Thank you Mercedes for your service. I felt so happy to know there was such a caring person checking in on my little buddy. Thank you for going above and beyond.”


12. Austin G.

“Austin took care of Gingi and has been the best cat sitter I could ask for. Always sending me pictures, not only checking on him, but playing with him and making him company. Made me feel so much better knowing Gingi was looked after by Austin and will definitely book him again next time we are out of town.”


13. Susana C.

“Susana was amazing, she was always eager to spend time with our cats, sent lots of updates, and went above and beyond! Highly recommend booking with her 😊”


14. Susan S.
“Susan has cared for our two pit bulls for the past seven years. She is dependable, caring, and kind. Lola and Zoey love their time with her! I am never worried or concerned when I am gone. Susan sends photos so I know all is good! Zoey takes medication three times a day, and I don’t want to leave her in the care of just anybody. Susan has always been our first go to! We love her and so do our fur babies!”




15. Samantha D.
“Don’t hesitate, book with Samantha. I never worry when my pets are with her. I know they are being loved and cared for. She cares for your pets like they are her own.”


16. Vanessa B.

“Vanessa was great! Came on time for the drop-ins, and my dogs Romeo and Kaia loved her! She fed them, played with them, gave them treats, and cleaned up after them. Would definitely have her drop in for my dogs in the future again!”


17. Lauren A.


“Lauren was very nice and even my girls loved her!! I will definitely book with her again”


18. Julia K.

“Absolutely amazing. 10-10. Will rebook in a heartbeat. So sweet and good to our pups. Super prompt to every check in and even spent some extra time with them. I couldn’t be more pleased. BOOK WITH THIS AMAZING HUMAN!!”


19. Elizabeth M.

“Extremely kind and friendly and followed instructions to the letter, provided detailed checkins, was prompt to answer messages and above all else my cat was friendly to her! Which speaks to a good, patient person as my cat is not always very friendly. The communication was a league above and we delighted in seeing the fun checkin photos.”




20. Katie D.

“My girls, Fiona and Holly, loved Katie! Katie is a great communicator, timely, and based on her comments I can tell Katie is a lover and got tickled by their personalities! Katie gave me peace of mind while traveling❤️”
