“I booked Angela last minute. She was quick to respond and scheduled a visit with my babies. She was attentive and wrote down their individual needs. She was asked to house sit and she provided multiple picture updates and messages throughout the day. She truly was a gem and they were well taken care of. I will be booking with her again! Thanks Angela!”

“Isabella was an excellent sitter for our high-energy border collie. Isabella watched her for about a week and we constantly received detailed updates. She was sure to ask important questions that my partner and I hadn't thought of. Her experience with dogs was evident from the moment we met and my border collie loved her. I highly recommend and look forward to working with her in the future. Thanks for taking great care of my dog and home!”

I hate leaving my babies…but I was in a pinch and needed a dog sitter for a week and booked with Nancy. She sent me updates on my fur babies daily, and they were very happy and well cared for. When I got home, my house was immaculate and my dogs and my home were absolutely cared for as if they were her own. She did everything exactly as I asked, and made sure they were all comfy and spoiled while I was gone. I would highly recommend her for anyone who looks at their animals as their family. She really does love and care for them. I can not say enough good things about her and the care she provides. 10/10 recommend. If you look at your pets as family, definitely book her. I will always look to her in the future if the need arises, and I hope she will always be available. 100% happy customer here.

Tiffany did such an amazing job with our Lelo! She also went above and beyond the care with helping with the watering of the plants and other helpful things around the house while we were on vacation. I would definitely recommend her and will contact her again for care for Lelo! 💕

Thank you Chantal! We couldn’t be happier with the care our pets received! Our dog Zeus and our cat Tigger were both in such good hands. From the regular walks and medication for Zeus to the clean litter box and fresh water for Tigger, everything was handled with care and attention. It gave us such peace of mind knowing someone responsible, trustworthy, and clearly an animal lover was watching over our fur babies. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a tidy home. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!
