Katrina is a true animal lover who was great with my hyper 45-lb hound mix Sage. She's been on a couple of walks and one overnight housesit. I trust her to keep Sage (an unpredictable bolter when spotting squirrels) safe on the leash and reliabily show up for each walk, even accommodating last minute schedule changes. Katrina took good care of my house while we were gone and even picked up some bone shards that could have been a choking hazard. To top it all off, I got a selfie of Katrina & Sage snuggling in bed. Sage will be looking forward to her new caretaker's return soon.

Molly and her husband were great, they took care of our two dogs while we were away for a few days and made sure they were pampered and stayed healthy. They also left our place clean and went the extra mile to get our puppy some extra food when he ran out of it. Highly recommend!

Sasha did a wonderful job of keeping our anxious munchkins happy while we were away all week. It was so nice to get regular updates about their day and not have to worry about anything. She also left our house pristine, and was always easy to reach.

Faith would make an exceptional fur baby sitter or walker because she is a warm, animal-loving person who grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, and gerbils. Faith has a lot of experience taking care of her own pets and is a kind and careful person who is very aware of her surroundings. This attention to her surroundings coupled with her warm and nurturing personality will ensure any pets she cares for will be kept safe and made to feel loved.

Tara was fantastic! I couldn’t believe how attentive and wonderful she was to my pup. Winston is half blind and a senior, but Tara was able to accommodate all of his needs and was incredibly gracious and kind every step of the way. Winston loved her and I’d book her again in a heartbeat. I was so nervous about leaving my dog with someone, and Tara allayed all of my concerns. Fantastic work!
