Lauren has been amazing with our three doodles. They clearly love their visits with her and it is so nice to know someone has eyes on them during the work day. We definitely recommend working with Lauren!!

We are so grateful to Mary for taking good care of our cats! We were gone for 2 weeks and Mary checked in on our kitties every day. She was very attentive to them, provided updates, and provided great care.

Chris did a wonderful job with Sadie - you can tell that he truly enjoys what he does & has a special way with pets. He met with us prior to his first visit to chat through expectations and to make sure we all felt comfortable. He took lots of great pictures and left a really thorough update following his visit. We will absolutely rebook with him!!

I had a fantastic experience with Jackie. She was punctual and prompt, always arriving on time for our meet and greet. Her efficiency was impressive, and she was incredibly nice, making both me and my dog feel comfortable. My dog took to her right away, which speaks volumes about her ability to connect with pets. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for reliable pet care!

Kate was wonderful! She took great and loving care of our aging cat, Crowley, and made time to schedule extra visits when it was clear he was feeling lonely. She was very communicative and responsive, and also kept my plants alive better than I could! I highly recommend her services and would happily use her again.

Glenn provided consistent care and attention for my cat and undertook the challenge of caring for my parrot although he was without prior bird experience. Both bird and cat were happy and healthy upon my return and Glenn communicated daily reports on them while I was away. I couldn’t be more pleased.

Megan helped us check on our 3 golden retrievers while we were away for a long weekend. She sent us photos every time she visited and we really liked how detailed she was on her daily reports. That really helped us feel less worried and relaxed during our trip. When we came back, our dogs were happy and healthy! We highly recommend her!!
