“Hirono is an absolute rock star and we are so happy we found her to check in on our cat for us when we are away for several days at a time. You can tell she is a true cat lover. She is super dependable, easy to work with, remembers things well, and we LOVE that she always sends us several pictures and an update when she comes to visit our cat. We have a super shy cat, yet he warmed up to her very quickly, so she has been a perfect fit for what we needed. She will continue to be our first call when we need someone to care for our cat. Thanks for everything, Hirono!”

“Robin was amazing with my 16 week old pup!! She even got her to eat when I was having trouble😬 Robin is very accommodating and helped me sooo much because I was having some issues with my roommates, and she offered so much help! Will definitely use her in the future!!”

“Brooklin was wonderful. Our dog was so happy when we returned and I could tell she was relaxed. Brooklin went above and beyond with notes and photos and I appreciated her care so much. I will definitely call her again for Wags. By the way, my dog is 9 and doesn't like going to other people's homes anymore the way she used to. To have Brooklin stop by twice a day while I was gone just put my mind at ease.”

Cassidy was so friendly and helpful while we were out of town! Our pop-ins weren’t particularly exciting since our cats won’t come out for strangers, but she ensured that they were well fed and watered and her communication was exceptional. Thanks Cassidy!

Taylor is hands down the BEST! Extremely well versed with all types of dogs, and provides absolute premier care! She truly cares for your beloved babies like they were her own. I cannot recommend Taylor enough, and regularly book her anytime we need 5 star service!
