7. Lesa H.
“Lesa worked wonders with our shy dog, bringing her out of her shell in a way we never thought possible. The patience and understanding she displayed was truly remarkable. Since then, our dog has been thriving—more confident, playful, and visibly happier. It's evident that Lesa’s genuine connection and efforts have had a lasting, positive impact. We are immensely grateful for the transformation and highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a caring and skilled pet sitter.”

“Alex is awesome! Daphne had a great time, I received lots of pictures and updates! Alex was flexible, quick, accommodating, and responsive; from setting up the initial meet and greet to drop off and pick up times! Most importantly he loved and cared for Daphne! I absolutely recommend Alex for pet sitting. We will definitely use Alex again!”
13. Austin & Wendy K.
“Wendy and Austin watched our girl Rylee and I couldn’t have left her with anybody better. Their two golden girls are the absolute sweetest and helped Rylee feel right at home. Rylee has some anxiety and their little one Bella is almost like a support animal for her. She came back clean and felt very soft. They had sent us some pictures of her getting brushed with their special vacuum and I might just have to get one for ourselves. They provide updates daily with pictures which was very much appreciated. They are the sweetest and I high recommend leaving your fur babies with them for they will be well taken care of and spoiled rotten!”

“Betsy was truly incredible with our dog, Ozzy! It was his first stay away from home (COVID dog) and he had so much fun with Betsy and her furry crew. Her texts and pics put us all at ease and saved us from worry. I'd recommend Betsy wholeheartedly as a caregiver!! We so much appreciate the care and attention she gave to Ozzy.”
18. Jennifer K.
“Jennifer was an amazing sitter for my pup and made him feel right at home with lots of love, cuddles, and toys. She sent tons of cute pictures and made sure he had a great weekend stay. I will 100% use her again and recommend her highly. Very responsive, caring, and loving towards my pup.”
19. Anna W.
“Anna was so great with both of my dogs! She’s very accommodating and willing to take the time to meet and get a feel for the pet’s personality. It’s obvious that she is a true pet lover and goes above and beyond to ensure that your pet gets the attention it deserves. I couldn’t have been happier with my experience. Knowing your pets are well taken care of is truly priceless.”
20. Kate W.
“Kate took great care of our pups while we were away for two weeks. They had the best time playing in her yard with her dog, Sugar. Kate sent lots of photos and was very communicative throughout the stay. We’ll definitely book with Kate again the next time we travel!”
