Michael was fantastic. I could tell that Merlin liked him right away. The fact that Merlin took a long nap and played while Michael was sitting for him the very first time says a lot. Usually Merlin will freak out and stare at the door. I would definitely recommend Michael to anyone. He’s a dog whisperer.

Nicole is phenomenal! She loved our senior dog like she was her own. She understood all of my dog’s needs and was diligent and loving in her care. She also kept my home super clean, brought in my mail and made everything nice to come home to. I highly recommend Nicole for your pet’s care.

Alia was fantastic. You can tell she is a natural with dogs and “gets” them. Tokki immediately jumped up in her lap when she came and was more interested in playing her than focusing on me leaving which is great for a dog with separation anxiety.

We were very nervous to leave our 12 week old puppy alone for the first time. Nia was very communicative and sent us many pictures of CeCe. She kept her entertained and occupied and comfortable. Would love to book again.

Alexis is such a stellar sitter. I’m grateful that someone as empathetic as her is about to take care of my old cat boy. Despite needing ridiculous amounts of medication, Alexis is always excited to see him and I know he’s in great hands when he’s with her. She’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!

Victoria was fantastic! She took excellent care of my cat - both in his everyday needs (food, litter, and playtime) and medical care (medication administration including pills and liquids). Thanks to her, I came home to a happy and healthy kitty! She was communicative each day with photos and updates, respectful of our home, and a general pleasure to work with. I’m already rebooking :)

Rudy and us agree, that Anne Marie was an excellent caretaker. We humans were able to take a few days away in complete confidence. Anne Marie's cat care came at a time when Rudy was just getting over an illness that required medication, observation and compassion. This was not in our original agreement, and Anne Marie rose to the occasion. We highly recommend Anne Marie for her competency and care. We would not hesitate to call on her again to care for Rudy.

Quick to respond and professional, but also incredibly sweet to my shy pup! Maisy had a great time with Cyndi, she provided great care as well as excellent updates and communication. I would both highly recommend and use her in the future! :) Thank you, Cyndi!
