“Debbie provided great care when I had a last minute booking for her. She took super cute pics of my puppy and gave great detail in her visit notes. She even stopped by the night before to meet my dog when she was out running errands. I really appreciate her taking such good care of my Evey dog and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”


“Maddie was spectacular! Able to help on short notice, flexible and was very thorough and followed every detail to the letter. I'm pretty easygoing, but I honestly believe Maddie could work for anyone - high needs pets would absolutely be safe in her hands. She was communicative and I never once worried about my cats in her care.”


“Blair was perfect for our needs. Our dog is very skittish with unknown people and never does well in a kennel. She came and met with him while we were home to get aquatinted with him. She took care of him for the two days we needed and he was perfectly fine and relaxed when we came home. Will definitely use her again. Thank You Blair!”

Joel B.
“I do not trust my fur babies with anyone but Joel. Joel met my doggo with me, before taking the "job". He is kind and caring of my dog's boundaries. She is a Chihuahua and has big Chihuahua personality, walking her with other dogs can be difficult, but Joel gently took care of the walk situation. I have very detailed instructions when I leave. Joel follows the instructions exactly as noted, potty times, food times, play times, bedtimes and just cuddle times if doggo so inclined. I check in regularly as all fur baby parents would. He always answers and gives me updates as to how things are going. He is even willing to face time me so I can see my fur baby. When I get home, my baby is happy, no stress, happy to see me, and obviously well cared for. I recommend Joel as a 5-star fur babysitter.”
