Abby is outstanding. I can’t say enough good things about her. She took care of our cats and dog for a week and kept us so updated with photos and info, took in my millions of packages, and left our house clean and in great shape. Highly recommend.

Rose is great! She took great care of our two pups (a Husky and a Rat Terrier) while we were in Colorado for a week. She sent us lots of updates and photos and even stopped by one last time while we were traveling home to make sure they got there dinner on time before we got back! We will definitely be booking with Rose again!

Another great experience with Jessica. She’s great with my senior dog! Caring for my home and my few plants while away for almost a week. Came back to everything in tip top shape and a happy doggo. Consistent and reliable!

We are so happy we found Sarah! She took wonderful care of our two Shih Tzus and cat while we were away. She was able to stay at our home during the daytime hours to keep them company, tend to their needs, and she worked from home while here. We received daily updates (sometimes several times per day) with photos and her observations of our furry kids' likes, dislikes, and funny quirks. Sarah is very detail-oriented, thoughtful, conscientious, and kind. We came home to our very happy and well-loved friends and would definitely request Sarah's services again in the future and recommend her to others!

Alexis did a wonderful job with our dog and we would highly recommend her. Our elderly dog suffers from anxiety and was immediately calm when he meet Alexis and we could tell when we got home that she gave him lots of love and attention.

Sarah did a great job staying with our dogs for the week while we were out of town! We really appreciated that she was able to stay over night with them and keep them on their routine while we were away. I even think they are sad she wasn't the one who walked through the door when we came home... ringing endorsement from our pups! Thank you again Sarah! You're the best!

Shannon was great! I have a nervous dog, and Shannon came over to meet her before she stayed here to make sure Maggie was comfortable. I have a total of two dogs and two cats. Shannon took excellent care of all of them and of my house while we were gone. She really listened to and fulfilled the needs of each of my animals. She even let my nervous dog sleep in the bed with her. We had total peace of mind knowing Shannon was with our animals. I highly recommend Shannon, and we will absolutely use her again.

Laura is amazing! Our dog gets nervous around new people and she was so accommodating to schedule a meet and greet before our trip to put him at ease. He was so well taken care of and our house was very clean when we returned. We very much appreciated the updates and photos while we were away as well!

Jessica took great care of Lexi. She also went above what u expected of her by vacuuming dog hair up and washing bedding and putting clean sheets on my bed. Upon returning home after a long day in airports and not arriving until midnight; it was great not needing to change sheets. I will definitely call on Jessuca again when I need a pup sitter. She was great.

Lisa did a great job. She looked after my cat and two dogs. She stayed at my home while we were gone. First vacation we have been on in a few years. I don't think my dogs missed us. Trustworthy and did as she promised. Would use her again

Lisa has been cat sitting for me for over 30 years. She treats my cats as though they are her own. She has a lot of great experience with cats and dogs and is comfortable playing with them and caring for them. She has been a really good cat sitter for me whenever I’m away. She sends me pics of my kitties and that helps so much. I’ve had kittens and older cats over the years and she’s done great with them all.

Samantha was an absolute blessing on my wedding day!! She hung out with my sister and I’s dogs during the day and even stayed over with them to make sure they weren’t lonely. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and videos. Our dogs had a little party of their own and we are so thankful for Samantha! ❤️

Haylee did a wonderful job with our dog, Lucy. She is a rescue and is very timid and shy. Haylee got her warmed up to her in no time! I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their pet.
