We couldn’t ask for a better sitter—she truly feels like part of the family! 🥰”

“Karen did such a great job making my little Thunder feel at home! While I was away for 2 weeks on vacation to New Zealand, I was delighted to receive pictures via text to see that my little buddy was happy and comfortable!

“This is our first time using this service. We had a death in the family and had to head out of state abruptly. I must say, Dajon is phenomenal!

He was extremely flexible when we needed to extend our time at short notice. His overall love and care for animals is top notch. I would highly recommend him and will definitely use his services again! Thank you Dajon for taking such good care of Daisy and Diamond!!”

My cats clearly enjoy her company and, I know that whatever instructions I leave will get carefully followed. That is honestly hard to find, so I value it very highly. Will continue to ask her for help in the future!”
“Justin was an awesome sitter for our two cats during a weeklong trip out of state! He was obviously great with our pets, easy to communicate with, and flexible to meet our needs. He was very respectful of our home as well, and left it looking the same if not better than we did :) We booked fairly last minute, and it was such a relief meeting Justin, and knowing our boys would be well taken care of.

Rose has been very reliable and up front about her availability, which is really important to me. I get the cutest pictures of Samuel on our cards after I pick him up. You can tell he enjoys himself when he's there. The most important thing to me is how much they both care about Sam. It's been a great relationship so far.

It's a great place for him and we will definitely have him stay here again! :)”
