“What can I say other than absolutely amazing! Handled my dog with absolute care, love and a high sense of nurturing. Definitely a top-tier sitter. Will definitely be seeking services again. I doubt I would use anyone else besides Sarah! 🙂 Thank you for all the great work Sarah!”
“Ray took such good care of our old dog! Ray's communication (initial contact, photos, daily updates) throughout the process was timely and thorough and we knew that our dog was in good hands the entire time. We will definitely look for Ray first next time we need this service!”
“Having Brittany come to check in on our dog, Brute, has been such a big help & great experience! She has proven that she genuinely is concerned with his safety, comfort and needs while we are away. This, along with her experience working in vet clinics, reassures us he is always in good hands.”
“Sarah did such a fabulous job taking care of our two little kittens. She is the perfect sitter for our kittens that love to play. It was good knowing that our cats were in good hands.”
“Brittany was a lifesaver for me last week! I messaged last minute needing a drop-in sitter for my cat while I was going to be out of town. She responded almost immediately and was extremely communicative, providing photos, and lots of love to Rodger while I was away. She filled up food, water and made sure he had all his needs met. He was a happy boy upon my return and I am so grateful!”
“Taylor is very professional and dependable on taking care of our cats, it’s a nice feeling to come home to a clean litter box and a full feeder and waterer. Will request her again for our next trip, thanks for all the pictures.”
“Chase did a fantastic job communicating with me and arrived right on time. He provided pictures that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Thanks, Chase! I’ll definitely be booking with you again in the future”
“Friendly. Reliable. Trustworthy. That's how I felt after meeting Tiffany. That's how I felt while she was taking care of my pet when I was away for a few days. And that's still how I feel after getting back home. Tiffany took excellent care of my pet while I was away. She followed all my instructions and took extra care of my senior cat to make sure he didn't feel alone while I was gone. She also sent adorable pictures which was always reassuring and comforting to see. I would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely be seeking her services again especially with the holidays just around the corner. Thank you, Tiffany!”

Jacqueline & Todd C.
“I can say with 100% confidence that your pets will be in the best hands with Jackye. Years ago, I faced the heartbreaking decision to rehome Dakota, a sweet and anxious dog we found at a soccer game. She just couldn’t get along with our other dogs, and it was one of the hardest choices I’ve ever had to make. Jackye, with her kind heart and open home, stepped in when we needed her most. She didn’t just take Dakota in- she made her part of the family. Through thoughtful updates, calls, and videos, she helped ease the pain of letting go. She spoiled Dakota in the best ways and gave her the peace and love she so deeply needed. Because of Jackye, Dakota got to live her best life- surrounded by love. I will forever be grateful, and I truly believe there is no one better to care for your pets.”

Chase helped me out at ridiculous short notice. I went on a surprise trip for my birthday and I needed someone to take care of my cats. My neighbors are ill and were unavailable so I booked Chase and crossed my fingers. He was gracious and prompt and took care of my pets. I had complete faith in him. Cordial and ever so polite. He was wonderful. I will definitely book him again.
