Emily was incredibly quick to respond, and she was energetic and polite with her communications while watching our pup. We felt like our dog was in good hands, and we won’t hesitate to book with Emily again!

The best pet sitter in town! This was my first time leaving him for more than a few hours, and I was very nervous he wouldn’t do well. My dog absolutely adores Matt and got so excited the first time they met. Matt when over and above with his services and even took him out for an extra walk each day. I got tons of pictures and videos of Buddy having the time of his life! It was so nice to see Buddy having so much fun. If you are looking for someone to drop in for your dog Matt’s the person to go to!

Lani’s first walking session got a little complicated when my dog became protective right at the front door. I reviewed the front door ring footage out of curiosity & was shocked to hear the noises that came from my pooch. Lani was so patient & still continued with the walking session even after some scary snarling. Lani communicated what was happening from the very beginning & even feels comfortable to return for additional walks. She was very understanding of my anxious/scared doggo.

Mona did such a wonderful job with our dog while we were gone. She wrote to us every day and sent pictures twice daily. She is positive, very reliable, professional and fun. We returned to a young dog who was calm, secure and well cared for after the longest stretch she had experienced away from her family ever. That is such a wonderful compliment to Mona's care and caring and we thank her so much.

Rowan is great with animals! I've trusted her with housesitting (cats, dogs, fish, birds), dog walking, and farm work, and she never disappoints. It's obvious how much she loves animals, and her work ethic is excellent.

We are so thankful that we found Bri to look after our fur babies when we went away for a few days recently. We have four cats, each with their own temperaments and personalities. It was obvious on our first visit that Bri has a lot of experience with cats. She knows just how to approach them and is very kind and caring. She did a wonderful job with handling our cat that is on medications, and sent us pictures and updates of all the cats at each visit. We felt at ease knowing our babies were in very good hands and had no worries at all. Thanks Bri!

Alessandra is such a dedicated worker . She is also a huge animal lover! She has walked my dog and watched him for me when Ive been away multiple times. She goes above and beyond for my dog. When she walks through the door my dog gets so excited to see her. She is very loving towards him and takes great card of him.
