1. Ann R.
“Ann did a great job watching our little guy. She communicated often and was helpful administering some medicine for him. Our dog is a bit anxious at first too, but Ann was very approachable and made a point to be extra attentive in those initial meetings”
2. Natalie D.
“Natalie was fabulous! Asked great clarifying questions, took lovely care of my babies, and was a pleasure to just chat with. I highly recommend Natalie and will be using her services again!”
3. Traisaun L.
“We have 4 animals (2 dogs, cat, rabbit). Traisaun stayed with them over the weekend and did an amazing job with them. We can tell how much they enjoyed (or not) their sitter by how needy they are when we get home. Traisaun was very attentive and interactive with them. They calmed down (and went to sleep) very quickly after we got home, which means they really didn’t miss us when he was here. Each of the animals has their own feedings, needs, and exercise (and some medicines), so they are not the easiest pets to sit for. I would highly recommend Traisaun and will definitely have him sit with them if he’s available! Oh, and the house was spotless when we got back! (did I mention 4 animals?) You won’t go wrong with Traisaun!”
4. Andrew T.
“Andrew did a great job house-sitting for the second time. He patiently gained my nervous pup's trust to the point where she slept with him! He sent periodic reports and pictures and you would have hardly known he stayed here for several days - the house was in perfect order.”

11. Jessica L.

12. Leo A.
“Such a kind person, and lovely to sit with my elderly pup.”

20. Keilah V.
“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone who wasn’t family and we were very anxious about it, however, Keilah was amazing. She came over to our house and met Millie before we left to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, she sent updates, pictures, and videos of our pup to reassure us everything was going great. I’m sure Millie will miss her! Cannot recommend enough, we will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Keilah!”
