“JoAnne was great to work with! It’s always hard for me to leave my senior chihuahua, but JoAnne provided excellent communication with many updates and pictures. It was reassuring to see my baby so comfortable around her and I came home to a happy pup. I would highly recommend JoAnne to anyone looking for assistance. Thank you JoAnne!”

5. Elaine L.


“Elaine is absolutely AMAZING!!! We feel so lucky to have found her! ALL of our fur babies LOVED, LOVED, LOVED her! We had such peace of mind knowing that they were being so well-cared for and so loved. She was so attentive to each of them and their specific needs/personalities. She was very thorough and on point with all of the care notes we left. It was a seamless transition for our pets, which makes it less stressful for them that we are gone, and less stressful for us knowing that they are so happy. She is very communicative AND she takes and sends great photos! WE LOVE HER and will DEFINITELY book her again!”

16. Samantha J.

“Samantha is one of the most responsible, gentle, loving, and selfless people I know, especially when it comes to caring for animals. She has personally owned and cared for more than 4 dogs, all of whom have enjoyed happy and healthy lives. She has also lived with three separate people with pets of their own, and in each living arrangement took it upon herself to help feed, walk, and otherwise care for her roommate's pets without needing to be asked for support. She has the intangible gift of anticipating a pet's need and immediately earns the trust and affection of all animals she encounters. I would trust her with any pet, from dogs and cats to reptiles and fish.”


17. Emily R.

“Emily was lovely. She stayed at our home for a long weekend with our 16 year old cat Bear. Bear was very content when we got home and the house was exactly as we left it. Thank you, Emily!”


18. Mario E.

“Mario knows all the key rules and is helping us continue Nala’s training to become a service dog. Mario is communicative and was so helpful while I was away for work travel. It isn’t often you meet someone you can trust with your pup and access to your home the way Mario can be counted on. :)”


19. Mayra R.

“Kindest young lady Was clear on my pups needs Butta took to her Right away!!! Lots of photos n videos too lol Will definitely rebook Mayra💯”


20. Olu O.

“Olu helped us with house sitting our two 2 year old cats while we were out of state for 6 days and she did so good! Usually one of our cats is really shy around new people so we hired her to visit us a couple times before we left for our trip. She was great at following up with us, opening up her schedule and checking in on the day of to confirm. During those visits she was super sweet with our cats and followed all our directions for our shy cat. With these visits our shy cat ended up feeling comfortable with Olu right away 😊. During house sitting she sent us plenty of updates, photos, videos and asked questions to make sure all our directions were done correctly. I 100% recommend her and I’m looking forward to hopefully getting to hire her again! 🤗”
