“Brandon did an excellent job staying at our house with Kona for a whole week while we wet out of state. He sent us pictures every day and a report on how she was doing! We already have him booked again for 10 days. We completely trust him!! Kona was a health, happy doggie when we came home! Thanks again Brandon!!”


“Katie was a blessing for us to find and watch our girl. She also was very reliable and ensured our home was taken care of. She sent several updates with pictures which brought us comfort and joy while far away on vacation. Daily walks, playtime, love and genuine care, even a special playdate with her dog's made our Iris not so sad to be without us. We look forward to having Katie take care of Iris sometime again in the near future.”


“He's great! Sent daily pictures. Communicates well. VERY clean and tidy. He made my life a whole lot easier. Highly recommend and I will use him again.”


“Allison is great. She really cares about the dogs and makes sure they comfortable. She makes sure to send lots of pictures and always kept me informed.”


“Julie did a great job caring for our dogs! She sent lots of picture updates and was a quick communicator. Julie was able to be at our home with the dogs the majority of each day to keep them company. She gave them new toys and spent a lot of time with them playing outside!”


“Ben did a great job again!!!!! Had a few surprise deliveries that I wasn’t expecting and he was great help with those. And the shy kitty ended up purring on his lap. That says it all.”


“She did a great job with our dog liberty!”


“She is wonderful. The professionalism and dedication were top notch. My pups were happy when we came home instead of stressed as a result of a week without us. She was very respectful of our home. I highly recommend her.”


“Nyska was amazing and easy to work with for our vacation. Our home was spotless, the plants were well cared for, mail was collected, and—most importantly—our puppies were showered with love. I truly appreciated her flexibility and the daily updates with pictures and videos. The dogs responded well to her right away. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
