“We have used Ksenia twice and have thoroughly enjoyed our experience with her! She has taken such great care of our little one. We will use her again in the future and highly recommend her!”

“She was great and took really great care of my babies!! I will definitely be booking her in the future to take care of them again. My 11 year old baby doesn’t warm up to people easily and in the 2 days she watched them I could tell that they loved her!”

“We couldn't be more pleased with Karlie. We've never used a pet sitter before (instead used friends) so we weren't really sure what to expect. Karlie was such a warm hearted pet sitter and her care for animals really showed. She went outta her way to make sure our dogs were all watched over while we were out of town. She came by twice a day to check on them and let them run around, while refilling food/water. Such peace knowing our dogs had such a good caretaker in our absence and gave us an ability to enjoy our time out of town without worry. So glad we've met Karlie as we can take some trips this year and not have to worry about our dogs!”

“Merry was fabulous! She helped us out in a tight spot and was able to care for our 2 buns and quail on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. All the pets were well taken care of. We would definitely book with her again!”

“Lauren does such an amazing job!! She doesn’t just take care of our animals, she also takes care of our home and makes sure it’s secure. Always brings in packages that arrived while we’re away, always makes sure our home is safe and the door is locked when she arrives & leaves. Lauren always goes above and beyond - every time!

“Mary had a large job ahead of her. I have 7 cats and two big dogs, one of whom should probably count as 2 dogs all by herself. My Ana, a pit bull, thinks she's a lap dog. She scares almost everyone because of the way she jumps around and, often, on you. All she wants is love, but it's still scary. Mary handled her like a champ! My other dog goes into mourning when I leave town, but Mary kept his spirits up. She got my Hunter his insulin twice a day with no problem. My house can be a madhouse at times, and Mary handled everything beautifully, including sending me updates and photos. If she can handle us, she can handle your crew! Thanks, Mary!”
