Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.

Sarah Beth took such great care of our pups. She sends daily updates that are detail oriented and straightforward. She is sweet, professional, and easy to communicate with. We have boarded or had dog sitters before in the past, but they were by far the happiest we’ve ever seen them this time around. Our home was also in great condition upon return. Really, we would give her a 6/5 if we could. We will definitely be using her in the future and if you’re a natural worrier like me, you will be able to rest assured with Sarah Beth.

Allison stayed with Maisie for four days in my home and it was an excellent experience. She provided daily updates and photos. Maisie was a happy girl! And my condo was in perfect order when I returned. Probably better than the way I left it. I will definitely ask Allison to come and stay with Maisie again. I have complete confidence and trust in her.

Traci was awesome! Jovi loved her and Jovi is picky. Traci sent lots of updates while she house sat and watched our dog for a week. She was all we could hope for and more. Came home to a clean house and wash done on everything Traci used. Top notch and we highly recommend.

Olga was there for my cat when she was just a couple of months old. She helped with her potty training, hectic kitten shenanigans, and socializing her. Additionally, she was a major help when my cat had kittens, one of which developed worm problems and required extra attention and love. Olga showed nothing but love, care, and support for my cat. Outside of that, I have seen Olga care for a pitbull dog who she considered family and made sure that the dog had the best care and met all of his needs.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sara H. as a caregiver for your furry baby. She provided exceptional care for my giant schnauzer, and for that, we will be forever grateful. Sara is not just a pet sitter; she genuinely loves and understands animals. Her own furry baby is a testament to her dedication—extremely well cared for and loved. You can rest assured that your pet will be in the best hands possible with Sara. She’s attentive, loving, and treats every animal as if they were her own. Your furry companion will be safe, happy, and well-cared for under Sara's watch.

Madison has been available when we have needed her to watch our puppy Finn. Finn needs a slow feeding bowl due to eating to fast and she has always been able to use that without question. She sends picture and video updates, without them being requested. I would recommend Madison to help care for your pet.
