9. Livia M.
“We were able to enjoy a long weekend away without worrying about our dogs. They were both happy and comfortable thanks to Livia! Livia stopped by upon booking to touch base and meet the dogs which helped us know that our dogs were going to be well taken care of, and they were! Both dogs are on meds and Livia quickly responded when we asked that one med be adjusted. One of our dogs is very full of herself when it is time for a walk and Livia did a great job dealing with our dog's exuberance and was able to get her harness on and get her out the door (miraculous). We 100% recommend Livia!”

“Cleopatra usually walks my dog for me a few times a week and she is always fabulous and on time! This weekend I was taking the dog camping, so Cleopatra watched my cat for me when I was out of town for 3 days. She followed all instructions and when I got back my cat was very happy. She also checked on my house for me and was very respectful of my space. I got daily pictures of my cat and I had peace of mind! Thank you Cleopatra!!”
18. Victoria J.
“Victoria was great! Initially, I was unsure about someone I didn’t know coming to my home and watching Mia for a weekend. We set up a meet and greet before my trip so Mia and I could meet Victoria. After seeing Mia’s initial interaction with her, I was much more at ease and comfortable leaving for the weekend! Victoria sent pictures and updates throughout my time away and was super responsive from start to finish. I highly recommend Victoria and plan on booking her again for future trips!”
