Briana and Jamal were absolutely wonderful with my senior dog. They were responsive, sent great updates, and were very timely with their visits. Will definitely be hitting them up for help with my girl again.

Misao took amazing care of our cat while we were out of town. She was very conscientious, gave us regular updates, brought in our mail and packages, and left the house cleaner than when we left. Not only was she incredibly sweet, she was timely, followed our detailed instructions perfectly and was overall a great pet sitter! Highly recommend and would hire again :)

Alyssa was absolutely incredible! She set up a meet and greet the day prior to come over and get to know my dog Sailor, and to introduce herself to my family since im not at home to meet her in person. Everything went smoothly and we were officially booked for the next day! She arrived on time and spent every minute available playing fetch with my dog and took to giving her commands very easily. She was very enthusiastic during playtime which I know my dog loved! Planning to book again in the future no doubt about it

Christy was absolutely amazing! We have 5 pets with wildly different feeding needs due to age, diet, and preference. Christy went above and beyond-ensuring that each member of our family was pampered in the exact way they have become accustomed. If I’m being honest, I think one kitty was a little sad at our return. We will definitely be booking in the future!!

My pets are my family and I'm super particular when it comes to them. I have a 9 month Mali puppy and so it's really important who comes around her at this age. As such, leaving them is hard for me because that's always on my mind. Long story short - If Kevin had more availability, I would be doing a lot more traveling lol. Punctual, knowledgable, kind, clean, thorough and goes above and beyond. We are so lucky we found him!

Alexis took amazing care of our dog and elderly cat while we were celebrating our wedding. We came back to a clean house and two fluffers who seemed like they barely noticed we were gone. She was even sweet enough to leave us a congratulations card :’) 10/10 recommend!

Haley is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever come across. I feel SO lucky to have found her for all of our future pet sitting needs! I booked her super last minute on a holiday weekend and she couldn’t have been more gracious and accommodating. My senior kitty requires medication and meal monitoring which she handled perfectly along with being super communicative with me on how he did the entire time I was away. She sent so many adorable pictures that showed clearly how quickly he fell in love with her. I had so much peace of mind while gone knowing that my baby was in the care of someone so caring and attentive. Thank you, Haley! 🩷
