“Our dog Hazelnut couldn’t have been in better hands than Ariella! Ariella was very attentive to all the details, likes/dislikes, and notes of our little Hazey during our Meet & Greet and she exemplified it while watching her. She treated Hazelnut with so much love and was very responsive with her needs. She would send us pictures and notes regarding Hazelnut while we were away. We will always feel confident with Ariella watching our dog Hazelnut in the future and we highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
“I am absolutely thrilled to leave this glowing review for Doris! She has taken care of Milo several times now, and each time I’m blown away by her warmth, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Milo always comes back happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved — it’s such a relief knowing he’s in safe, caring hands while I’m away. Doris is attentive to his needs, communicative throughout the stay, and truly treats him like her own. I can’t recommend her enough — she’s become a trusted part of Milo’s extended family. Thank you Doris!”
“Valerie had a great time staying with Rebecca and family! They sent frequent updates with pics, took her on long walks, and spent a ton of time with her in the backyard. They even gave her a toy to take home that she’s obsessed with! Will definitely be booking again.”

“This is my first time booking with Samantha and I definitely believe this is the start to a great relationship! I've been shopping around for a sitter that my pup feels truly comfortable with and not anxious to get away from, and Samantha provided a warm, welcoming, and fun environment. My Nala was so calm and at ease by the time I picked her up and that warmed my heart. Samantha was flexible and accommodating to some last minute changes to the schedule and even bought dog food because I had ran out right before my trip! What a doll! If you book with her, trust me, you won't be disappointed!”
“Syd is amazing. She maintains a patient, peaceful, and professional demeanor. Grateful we found her to sit for our fur baby. Indie loves her.”

“Kitty was absolutely wonderful. It was my first time using rover and was nervous about having my senior dog stay at a complete strangers home. But Kitty made the whole process super easy and comfortable. I could tell Chester loved staying with her and was having a great time. She sent pictures through out the day, every single day and was very easy to get in touch with. I’m so glad to have found her and have her to take care of Chester. I will def be a repeating customer.”

“Amazing experience, Vanessa is great, my babies were taken care of as if they were part of her family. Vanessa is so loving and really payed attention to every detail. Will always recommend 100 %. Trixi (Dog) and Ash (Cat) had a amazing time.”
