1. Mary N.

“Mary and Nick were a wonderful team and took good care of my dog and home while I was away. Communication was excellent, many photos were shared, and I always had the sense that they were enjoying the time with him. I will not hesitate to ask them to help me in the future.”


2. Sarah P.


“Sarah was great and took really good care of Petey. She watched Petey for 4 days and made sure he had plenty of love and attention. Sarah watched Petey in our home and was very respectful of our things and to our neighbors. I highly recommend her services and would definitely hire her again.”


3. Lillian W.

“Lilly stayed with our 160 lb. pup for 3 nights and did a great job sticking to his routine which includes pills 2x a day, meals, walks, and giving specific treats at specific times. She sent photos of him every day, which helped put me at ease. I was thrilled to find Lilly as she has extensive vet experience, and our pup is prone to seizures. Fortunately, he had no episodes while we were away, so she did a great job keeping his anxiety levels down. I definitely recommend Lilly and will be contacting her again.”




4. Mark & Elizabeth Y.

9. Monica V.

“Monica is the best!! I have two Senior Chihuahuas that are both on medication and special food. She has taken the time to earn their trust and takes wonderful care of them and not just physically. She considered each dogs quirks and fears and has made them both very happy dogs when I’m away. I’ve gotten so much more freedom now because of her. She is Amazing!!”


10. Lori H.

“Lori and Daisy had a great time! Lori kept me informed while I was away with sweet photos and texts. My apartment was in great shape upon my arrival home. Bed linens washed and replaced, kitchen cleaned up and all dishes put away. I will definitely ask Lori to stay with Daisy in the future! 😊”

17. Chloe A.
“Chloe is amazing at caring for herself and her pets, and is so gentle with other's pets. She is a pet lover through and through and spoils every pet she comes across with as much as she can. When she first met my cat, I warned her he didn't like strangers and would probably run away as soon as he sniffed her. Instead, he warmed right up to her. Chloe is also great at managing stressful situations and has been there for me countless times. She makes sure she has everything figured out and a solution for any situation that can go awry. She is a problem-solver, fierce, and full of love. I believe that she's great for taking care of your pets 100%!!”


18. Randy W.
About: I love animals and will treat them with the utmost love and respect they deserve. I have taken care of pets from adolescent to seniors. I've provided transportation to veterinarian visits, I walk dog. I have experience in giving medicine (pill and shots) and dealing with special needs pets. I am retired so i have a lot of time to do what i love to do and that's spend time with animals. I schedule my appointments so as to give my clients undivided attention and punctuality they need. I cater to my clients and their fur babies needs and desires. I like to sit down and discuss with any perspective client what their and their pets needs are and formulate a plain to ensure the utmost safety and comfort of the fur babies.


19. Chelsea D.

“Chelsea did a great job caring for my dogs while I was out of town. She kept the house clean and even took care of our bearded dragon! We were kept updated with frequent pictures. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again! Thank you, Chelsea!”


20. Scott & Samantha H.
About: I've spent most of my life in care of animals, whether that was at home or the local strays, but the last 10 years especially I've found a passion for caring for animals. We (Sam, pictured above) have been boarding together for about a year now, her having almost 4 years of experience doing this nearly full time. I've cared for many breeds of dogs, cats, and even reptiles through this time, handling the special needs cases too!! I LOVE what I do, and have no issue with more complicated lil buddies too! It's always a pleasure to get the experience with each of these unique lil friends! Right now, this is what I'm doing full time, so it's really based on scheduling for that month/week between my own home, especially having 5 animals myself, but it still leaves me with plenty of free time! This usually averages to be like a 45-55hr/wk job for me. I thrive on instruction, especially if you're looking for peace of mind while away from your lil furry friends! I always try and plan with the owners to have a meet n greet before hand, to be sure everyone gets along. Then, if that went well, we can proceed with scheduling and planning a second visit to talk about home/care instructions in further depth (trash day,parking if it's overnights, various little things of that nature). From there, it's all about the pets! I love the lil guys, and prioritize them and the space we're in with them during their care the entire time you're away!
