House Sitting in Glencoe

“Robin kept my fur babies happy and safe over my four-day trip. I have two senior pets on special medication and she was able to keep them on their routine in our own home so they didn’t have to be stressed out going to the kennel. She’s really nice and laid-back. she’s also very communicative, and sent lots of photos so we would know how they were doing. Our pets were happy to see us, but not stressed out when we got home. She is really great. We will use her again!”

“We have two Great Danes so as you can imagine they are a handful. Over the past few years, my son was playing travel baseball and was fortunate enough to travel all over the southeast. Naturally, we could not travel with our dogs. Bella was and is always our go to pet sitter. Our male Dane developed an aggressive streak over the last year and could not stay with just anyone. He loves Bella. She is so good with them. We feel comfortable with her staying in our house so that they can sleep in their own beds. She is mature and trustworthy and will take very good care of your fur babies.”
