“Elle has an obvious knack with animals. Our older cat is usually reserved with strangers but instantly loved her. All of our animals do. Elle has been so easy to communicate with. We will absolutely book again in the future.”


“Mark is outstanding. As the owner of four golden doodles under the age of three, I was impressed by his punctuality, professionalism, and thorough questioning during our initial meeting. Mark's trustworthiness and genuine affection for animals, rather than mere financial interest, are evident. He quickly gained the trust of my puppies. I will be relying on his services for all future pet-sitting and boarding needs.”

Sophia B.
“Sophia has a big heart for animals and is very VERY responsible. We love working with her! She has cared for our cat and two dogs multiple times over the past 4 years when we've been gone for overnights as well as multi-week trips. Sophia's a good communicator and dependable; she shows up on time and makes sure our animals are able to stick to their regular eating and exercise routines. She gives them plenty of loving attention too, playing fetch with the dogs and making sure our cat gets lots of head scratches and lap time. The animals love Sophia and run to the door whenever she arrives. She's our first choice when we need a pet sitter.”

Michelle W.
“Michelle is an amazing dog mom herself, and general animal lover! She has always formed great relationships with all of my pets over the years, which has now been 3 dogs and 1 cat. When I need someone to watch my babies, she's the person I want. She's going to love them and center the day around them and make sure they have everything they need. If there's an emergency, I know Michelle can handle it. Both my dog and cat have separation anxiety and behavioral issues related to that. When she watched my pets recently, she took such high quality care of them and my house. My dog was calm and happy from all the attention and running she had him doing, my cat was happy and at peace, and my house was super clean. They obviously felt really cared for and safe, because they acted like it was no big deal when I came home a week later (versus the usual velcro dog/cat I have on my hands). And I felt calm and at peace too because she communicates really well, sends lots of pictures, and everything was in such good shape when I returned. She made everything easy on me. Love Michelle and hope she can always watch my pets when I'm away!”
