We really love working with Lisa!”

14. Carly E.
“When you return home, you know that you have made a good selection for a house sitter/pet sitter when the cats are happy and cuddly to see you. Carly has experience with medicating animals. One our cats, BILLY, requires an inhaler for asthma and an oral liquid medication. When we came home he went right to Carly for snuggles, obviously she treated him and our other two cats really well. She treated our home with great care and left everything in great shape.”
15. Wilson G.
“Wilson is wonderful! I told him that he's the dog whisperer. He's so good with my dog, Klaus. Klaus is a nervous boy, but I can tell he really likes Wilson. He gets so excited when he sees him. Usually it's hard for Klaus to relax when anyone besides me is in the house. They play and then Klaus is comfortable enough around Wilson to take a snooze. 😊”

“Look no Further, Hannah is the responsible pet caregiver you have been looking for! We have had Hannah take care of our cats for over 15 years now and have never been disappointed. She thoroughly feeds and changes their liter box. Administers medication if needed. She always takes her time to talk , play and snuggle and love on our cats to make sure they are feeling loved and taken care of. Hannah comes with years of experience with working wit pets. You can tell she truly has a heart and passion to work with a variety of animals. We also feel rest assured our pets are safe when Hannah comes and takes care of them when we are away on vacation. I high recommend her pet caregiving services.”
19. Beatrice P.
“Beatrice was great to work with and took great care of our pets and our home while we were away. She sent photos and updates throughout the trip and even taught our dogs a new trick. When we interviewed with her, it was clear in her interactions with the dogs that she was a professional with experience for caring for animals and she took her time to get to know the dogs and their routine. We would highly recommend Beatrice and will be asking for her help again in the future.”
