“Lauryn is a sweet, caring individual. I couldn't have asked for someone better!! She loved my girls and treated them like her own!! I got pictures and videos every day, which set my heart at ease. I will definitely use her again!! 🥰”
“Cheyanne took amazing care of my two cats while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with animals. She sent regular updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind, and it was obvious my cats were comfortable and well cared for. What really stood out was how patient and attentive she was with them. She made sure they were not only fed and safe, but also happy and getting attention while I was gone. It meant a lot to come back knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Cheyanne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

She was open to do a meet and greet before Teddys actual staycation and allowed us to see her home and meet her pets to make sure everyone gets along. Once we dropped Teddy off she sent pictures every day! Communicated very clearly and kept me informed of Teddys well being. She was accommodating when we had little curve balls thrown at us and we have absolutely no complaints at all. Your fur babies will be in good hands with Constance! We will be booking again for our next vacation.”

“Avery is great!! She had excellent communication and follow-through the entire week of drop-in visits at my house. I loved the personalized notes/report cards she left after each visit. Avery is very trustworthy in your home. Her warm and calm demeanor is perfect for the care of your animals. I knew that my pet was in good hands from the moment I met her… This peace-of-mind allowed me to enjoy my vacation and time with my family even more - knowing my cat’s personal care was being handled with the upmost professionalism back home… I can always tell the level of care a pet sitter gives while I am gone, based on my cat’s behavior and stress level when I return, and my cat couldn’t have been more relaxed - like I never left! I would highly recommend Avery to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter.”

I will for sure be contacting Holli in the future :)”

She checked in on them three times and even delivered our dogs to our wedding venue so our brother could walk our dogs down the aisle during the ceremony.
