Monica is the absolute best. I'm so grateful we had the opportunity to hire her and hope to have her back. Her notes about her visits were so fun and heartwarming to read. It was very clear our dog loved spending time with her and she did a fabulous job caring to his needs. Our daughters missed their dog and loved seeing and hearing what he got up to while we were gone. Couldn't ask for a better sitter to care for our boy. Thank you, Monica!

Jeremy did a great job with our dog. He sent pictures with every visit and Max was well fed, watered and walked. Thank you, Jeremy, we will hire you again when we need someone to watch Max.

We can’t say enough about Jessica! She was Excellent! Due to some unforeseen circumstances we needed someone to drop-in for 5 days upon short notice. Jessica responded quickly and our minds were at ease knowing our dog would be well cared for. Jessica took pictures during each visit and wrote a synopsis of what they did during her stay. We highly recommend and will utilize her again!

Kiara did an amazing job with our kitties while we were away for a few days. She was an excellent communicator, kind and very easy to work with, and our cats took to her immediately (even our suspicious younger one!). We have an older cat with some medical needs and Kiara put our minds fully at ease with her extensive experience fostering and caring for numerous animals. I would highly recommend her!

Andrea has been amazing, our dogs can be a lot and be very hyper. She plays fetch, gives them water and feeds them breakfast. She even takes the time to clean up if our dogs manage to escape out of the kennel and make a mess ( they counter surf). She Leaves a report card every time and sends lots of pics with just the hour she’s at our house. I would recommended Andrea 10/10!

I wish I could keep Kaylee my little secret, but it would be a crime to not share how great she is. Kaylee has done drop-in’s on my dogs over the past months that equal out to roughly 3 weeks worth of days. She is always so easy to communicate with, shows up in a timely manner for every visit, sends at least a couple of pictures every visit, and most importantly my dogs love her. It’s hard to trust people these days, but Kaylee is one of those people that you can count on to take care of your pets like they are her own. I’ve rebooked her about 5 times now, and will use her every single time I have to go out of town.

Katie is reliable, thoughtful, and very fun with my dog! She’s very conscious of the importance of routine and communication, and I really appreciated that. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter while I was away. 10/10 recommend her for your pups and will 100% use her again in the future.

Shannon was awesome. When we first met her, she asked a lot of questions and really paid attention to Noslo. Since she was scheduled a few weeks in advance, as we got closer to the time scheduled, she reached out and was very easy to communicate with about our needs and Noslo's needs. Since we were going to be gone for long periods of time during the day, we set up times that she would come each day to give Noslo a break. She followed the plan and was able to play ball with Noslo and give him some attention to keep his mind off of us being gone for most of the day. She always kept us updated (even when we weren't responding to her messages) on what was going on and what Noslo was doing and feeling. She was very attentive to his needs and she really cared about how he felt. Although Noslo did miss us, we know that with Shannon stopping by and taking care of our baby during the day, he was able to expend some energy and I'm sure it eased some of his anxiety. We will be definitely requesting Shannon's services again!
