1. Anvesha R.
“Anvesha is amazing! We were traveling outside the country and she took extra time trying to locate our cats and took time with our very anxious dog to make her feel comfortable and loved. We will absolutely be repeat customers. Thank you SO MUCH Anvesha!”
2. Kathryn S.
“100% rebooking with you again! Being a first timer with this app I felt so at ease! You did a great job playing with my cats and really appreciated the videos you sent! Thank you so much!”
3. Shneila L.
“Dropped off my dog and cat for the weekend—and I’m pretty sure they didn’t miss me at all. Not only did they get VIP treatment from start to finish, but they also had a blast hanging out with her kids! It was like a little pet-and-kid playdate the whole time. I got photo updates of tail wags, purrs, and even my dog chasing bubbles in the yard with her kiddos. When I showed up to pick them up, my cat gave me the “you’re early” side-eye, and my dog looked at me like, “Do we have to leave?” Clearly, they’ve found their second home. Definitely booking again (assuming my pets don’t pack their bags and move in).”

“Michelle was such a help with our puppy! She helped take her out/feed lunch while we were all at work which gave Michey time to stretch her legs also. :)”
