“Sunshine is wonderful. She arrived on time, sent us updates, and even met up with us ahead of our appointment to meet our dog. Will be booking Sunshine again soon.”
“As always Barbara was amazing! Having her watch our cats always makes our travels so seamless. She sends regular updates, makes sure the cats are well taken care of, and leaves the house just as we left it. Our cats are so comfortable around her and when she arrives they immediately greet her. We always recommend Barbara for friends and family looking for someone to take care of their creatures.”
“Johnny was more then awesome with my dogs while I was on vacation! He went above and beyond by sending plenty of photos and regular updates without me even having to ask. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such good hands. I could tell they were happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Johnny to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!”
“So happy to say I came home to a happy dog and a beautifully clean home. Lucinda sent pictures of Sam and kept me informed all the way along. I certainly will use Lucinda again. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to take care of your animals.”
“Scott did a fantastic job cat/house sitting! He really took the time to get to know my somewhat difficult and nervous older cat, Cora, and helped her to feel comfortable during what would normally be a fairly stressful situation for her while my husband and I were away. He also took great care of the house leaving it super clean and tidy after his stay, and he provided clear and quick communication throughout the entire process which I really appreciated. Would absolutely recommend Scott!”

“Alex was a wonderful house and pet sitter for my dog and cat! She was top notch! Took care of everything, sent us cute photos of them while we were away, took our older dog on walks, to dog park and even did laundry before she left. We would definitely call on Alex again next time we are away. We enjoyed having her and I hope she enjoyed our home and silly animals. :)”

Renata was a great pet-sitter and we will definitely use her again. We especially appreciate her flexibility of also helping with our chickens.”
