Elizabeth stayed at my house and took care of Mika for two days/nights. Mika was in good spirits when I got home. Elizabeth kept me up-to-date with her doings and, it turns out, a house problem. While Elizabeth was here the electricity failed. She contacted me right away. It was caused by some work PECO was doing up the road but she couldn't have known that until a little later. I greatly appreciated her stepping up and keeping me informed about everything. I highly recommend her.

Rebecca was our family's godsend. We were on vacation in the middle of a cruise when our original sitter was not working out and needed an emergency back up plan. Though I have never met her despite initial conversations she came to the rescue and was immediately available. We left our pup for the very first time and had an initial horrible experience and she saved the day, followed the schedule and went above and beyond. Rebecca was giving our pup the love and attention we really wanted her to have. She even stayed a little extra on her own accord. She communicated extensively and sent lots of pictures. I just can't believe how lucky we got coming out of a horrible sitter situation, she really made up for that and finally felt at ease on my vacation because of her. I couldn't have asked for someone better and will always highly recommend her. She is someone very reliable that you can count on and will give more love and comfort to all your pets while you are away... trust me you won't have to worry... they would be int the best hands. Moving forward I will always use her services. Thank you again for saving the day for us and Miley, putting us at ease finally during our trip, and just being such a godsend. Miley loves you and thanks you. Honestly Can't thank you enough.

Lindsay is a responsible caretaker who has boarded and walked my Poppy (the floppy eared hound pictured) numerous times, including over Christmas holiday. She has a patient approach and meets pets where they are even if they’re anxious. I appreciate that she took time to understand my dog ‘s quirks and unique needs - and Poppy is a definitely a character. Thank you Lindsay!

Chris has always been great with my dogs and really helped me out in a pinch! I have two dogs and Chris took the time to get to know them and understand their individual needs. She followed instructions to feed and walk each of my dogs during drop-in visits and communicated with me throughout her visit with my pups. She shared pictures during her visits to show my dogs enjoying their meals and snuggles. My dogs were clearly well cared for by Chris. I definitely recommend Chris and I trust her to care for my fur babies. Thank you, Chris!!

Janiyah was great! She was available to help in a time of need on short notice. Toby was very happy to have her spend the day with him while I was at work and I knew he would be okay while people were in my home completing some work.

Emily is such a gem, the heavens really blessed us with finding her! Not only did she take on last minute unexpected complex medical issues for our cat while we were out of the country, Emily also took exquisite care of the house. Excellent communication and we received such lovely daily updates about all the animals. Emily put us at ease knowing she was professional, responsible, kind, and just a genuinely lovely good person. I cannot recommend Emily enough for both house and pet sitting!

Colleen took care of my two cats while I was away for 12 days. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, well-fed, and played with them multiple times each day. Upon returning home, my litter boxes were fresh and clean and the cats were happy! Colleen is friendly, caring and a natural with animals. I plan to hire her again for my next vacation and would highly recommend her!

Silvia was great staying over to watch our dog, Monica, and two cats. She shared several updates and photos throughout the stay, had her pup over for a play date, went on several walks, and checked to see if it was fine to give a new brand of treats to Monica & if her bathroom schedule was normal. We came home to three happy pets and a clean home. Thank you, Silvia!

There aren’t enough good things to say about Joelle! She was communicative, kind, compassionate, and respectful in every way - with our animals and their quirks, our home, etc. She sent us pictures and was prompt in all responses. This also was a last minute request due to a previous sitter following through. Such a treasure to find her, and we look forward to working with her much more! Thank you, Joelle!

Kaitlyn treated Beau as though he were own pup, and he loved her! She also provided us with pictures so we knew he was doing well. We will certainly ask Kaitlyn to watch Beau when we go away again.

Catalina was wonderful with our new puppy, Chase! She brought enrichment toys to keep him occupied, worked on commands with him, and regularly sent updates with photos. She even straightened up a bit. She was responsive and flexible. We will definitely use her again!

Kaitlyn was fantastic. She was thoughtful and patient with our very shy puppy. I appreciate how she approached him and within a short time he warmed up. It was our first vacation away from him and he did so well. Kaitlyn sent pics and a video Which was reassuring to us. I recommend her highly.

Joseph was hired to take care of my dog Willow this summer as we could not take her on vacation with us. He was very professional and communicative, and seemed very attentive to our girl’s needs. He also was very respectful of our space and used it as intended. Overall, great experience and highly recommended choice for long term care.
