Chardonay did a wonderful job caring for our anxious senior German shepherd. We were gone for 10 days, out of the country, and I felt so relieved having someone who clearly cares for dogs so deeply caring for our girl. She managed meds, special diet, and communicated with us the whole time. We will for sure using Chardonay again!

My shy senior cat Norman rarely trusts someone new as quickly as he did Lark. It was such a relief knowing he was not only in good hands, but enjoying cuddles, toys, brushing, and thoughtful care. That's a 10/10, from Norman and me.

I can tell that she truly loves animals and was always very kind to me as well. I highly recommend Rachel, your pets will be in good hands.

Peter really helped us out in a pinch! We were going out of town and Momo wasn’t able to go to her usual daycare, so Peter stayed with her in our home. This was her first experience staying at home without us and she was definitely anxious and skittish the first day. But Peter was very sweet and patient with her. He took things slowly in order to get Momo comfortable with him. He sent lots of updates and pictures, which really put us at ease. He took her on daily walks, played with her, made sure she took her medication, and took such good care of her. Momo was in great hands and we can’t recommend Peter enough!

Makenna did an excellent job taking care of my Cavalier King Charles spaniel, who is a one person devoted dog (to me), and is therefore, heart-broken when I leave her. She gave her plenty of walks, and took her with when she would be gone longer periods of time so she would not be lonely! The house was just as I left it and she was very responsible. It was a pleasure to come home to zero issues. I would hire Mckenna again for Lucy for certain!

I-Hsin is wonderful! We have two pretty shy, "stranger danger" dogs and she was excellent at going slowly with them and picking up on their cues. They were snuggling with her by day two of the sit! The kitties loved her from day one at the meet n greet. We can't wait to book I-Hsin again for our next vacation! Our house was taken care of, the pets were happy, and she was extremely communicative every day with wonderful photos and videos. We couldn't have imagined a better experience. Thanks I-Hsin!

Finding Lily was a blessing to us! She took a stay on semi-short notice and was extremely accommodative to both our busy schedule and our dogs active lifestyle. We never had to worry with her constant check-ins and photos, her communication was great. When we arrived home it was extremely clean and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate in the slightest to recommend Lily to any of our friends with dogs for her services. We look forward to her next stay with our pup!

James is amazing. I booked him last minute due to a family emergency. He came over, met my pup and I felt totally at ease leaving my senior pup with him. He stayed at my house for 4 nights while I was away and he checked in with me, sent me photos and took excellent care of my dog and my home. I came home to clean and tidy home and well taken care of pup. I would definitely book James again to dog sit. He was communicative, and great with my dog.

This was our second time having Imani house sit and she blew us away again! She’s so communicative, professional, and always goes above and beyond: giving our pup extra potty breaks, walks, and snuggles. She always leaves our house cleaner than we left it which is so nice to come home to :)
