I had a fantastic time looking after Lumi in December. Zoe and Barney were super friendly, accomodating, easy going and welcoming and there was very clear and easy communication throughout the whole sit. I sent lots of little messages and videos of their little beauty and she kept me entertained for the duration of the sit! Lumi is the most placid and loving cat I have a looked after and her fur is absolutely divine! I loved her mannerisms such as every morning when she wakes up she does certain stretches with her back legs across the top of the landing, san e back leg stretches each time, like a gymnast. And the way she would lie on her side and stretch out like a banana and then drag herself across the floor by using only her upper paws stretched out over her head like a worm, while the rest of her body was stiff and not moving (you have to see it to appreciate it)haha! I do believe we bonded because she actually came and slept on my lap for a few hours in the evenings, and whenever I was lying on the floor making my work phone calls - she would just come and lie on top of my chest so we were face to face. Such a cutie!! Zoe and Barney's home was sooo lovely and super comfy, close to everything (town/ bus routes/ shops etc). Thank you Zoe and Barney for your lovely hospitality and generosity, and I will definitely look after her again if the opportunity arises. Lots of love xx
I had a lovely stay with Bonnie and Rosa and Ede and Tiger. Bonnie and Rosa are great company, well behaved and well trained. William's house is well situated for lovely outings and the gardens are gorgeous.

Judy has been our pet sitter since July 2016. We moved back to this area and I was very cautious about finding a pet sitter to watch over my 3 beagles. We interviewed Judy and my dogs took to her immediately. We did a couple of trial visits before signing on with her full time. I cannot say enough positive things about Judy and her staff. I would recommend her without hesitation. One of the things I love most is not worrying about my dogs being by themselves overnight as she provides this service. As you can tell by the photos I've attached, they love her!!!
I have been using Judy's service for over a year now. She has been a God send for me & my fur babies. She cares for both my dogs & cats. I have two senior dogs & cats (one dog has special medical needs) that makes boarding them out almost impossible. In steps Judy with her at home care! So far I have taken numerous extended trips where Judy pet & house sits for me. Great job each time! She takes excellent care of my furbabies; daily care to include meds, clean up, indoor/outdoor play, and making them feel safe & secure while I am away. For those times I need a simple pet care visit when I am away for extended hours, a quick call to Judy to stop in puts my mind at ease! Highly recommend!
Judy and her staff are amazing! They met with me before and set up a great plan of action to care for my puppy. Both she and Savannah have watched my dog and I couldn't be happier with the service I get from them both. I have no worries at all when they are caring from my pets.
If you're like my husband and I your animals are your kids. Judy is incredible when it comes to taking care of our fur babies!! It's so nice to have piece of mind knowing they are being cared for in their own home instead of some boarding place when you really don't know how they are being treated behind closed doors. She is truly a blessing!! We highly recommend her services!!
I want to give a shout out to Judy for making my 3 little doggies happy! Her pet sitting service is outstanding! She even comes to my house while I'm out of town and stays there with the dogs. She is trustworthy and friendly. I call her my own "dog whisperer."
Sandy stayed with our cat and dog for 5 days over Thanksgiving. Our dog is a recent rescue and is timid and easily frightened, but she went above and beyond to make sure that they were well taken care of and to send us regular updates. Our only concern was whether our pets would even be happy to see us given how much love she gave them!
I would never leave my dogs with anyone else! Judy stays at my house and is extremely loving and caring with my dogs. If you have a doggie who is a bit difficult she is the dog whisperer! I highly recommend her services!
Judy's Hands for Helping are very thorough about getting to know their clients. They are very trustworthy, caring, helpful, and give peace of mind about our fur babies and home when we are out of town. Definitely give them a shot, you will be happy.
Since my work situation changed, I was no longer able to stay home with my dogs as often as I did; so, we went through our options and decided to try out Canine to 5. We are SO GLAD we did. Our designated petsitter is Sandy and she is awesome. She goes above and beyond, and really cares about our dogs. She makes sure to send us pictures of the dogs and leaves us notes about their time together. We know that our dogs are in good hands and we never have to worry on the days she comes by. If you can, ask for Sandy!!!
Judy is amazing! I have used her for pet sitting services, personal errands, and elder care for my grandmother. She handles her clients with the upmost professionalism and care. Very dependable and trustworthy.
