5. Caresse L.
“Caresse looked after our house and took care of our miniature dachshund for almost three weeks. She was always punctual and completely reliable from the first meeting we had with her and we were confident when we left that everything would be in good hands. Caresse also sent us daily pictures of our dog, dealt with giving the dog her monthly medications, and handled a last minute change to our trash pick-up schedule with no problem. The house was in great shape, our dog was happy and well cared for, and we will confidently re-book Caresse!”

9. Cara C.
“We felt so comfortable having Cara stay at our home with our animals. She was great with our very high energy puppy and our cat warmed up to her too! She communicated very well and sent frequent photos and updates while we were away. She even did some cleaning before we got home which was not expected and so nice to come home to! I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook or recommend Cara to friends.”

“Becca pets sat for me in my home while I was out of the state for a few days, and she was great! My dog has a few special accommodations which she totally handled in stride. My boy has separation anxiety, but he seemed calm around Becca, and by the time I got home he was amazingly relaxed. She regularly sent me photos, updates, and was very responsive to communication. I’ll definitely be rebooking. Thank you Becca!”

16. alexa l.
“Alexa was awesome with my Holland Lop bunny! We were gone for 5 days and she left our apartment spotless. She communicated well and asked questions regarding his veggies when needed (since rabbits have such sensitive digestive systems). She sent pics almost daily and was respectful about asking to have guests over to get school projects done! Pippin was a happy boy when we returned and we'll be sure to book her in the future! If you're a bunny parent I highly recommend!”

18. Cody D.
“Cody takes amazing care of his own cat and family dog. When he's home alone, he's very precise about feeding and walking. I've seen Cody with many different pets and he's always kind and does all kinds of research so that he knows how to take care of them. He's had everything from a Bearded Dragon, a Ball Python, Crested Gecko and Pigmy Hamsters.”
19. Signey L.
“Great experience and highly recommend. Lots of updates and pictures and came home to happy healthy dogs.”
20. Dani T.
