“We used Chuck to house sit and watch after our golden retriever for a week. He helped us out tremendously by making himself available on a last minute booking request. He was quick to respond and accommodated my schedule to do a meet and greet with our dog prior to his stay. Chuck went above and beyond with keeping us updated by text multiple times a day on how our dog was doing (pictures and all). I would definitely recommend him to anybody!”
“Chloe took such good care of our Gracie girl! She communicated well, sent pics and left our home in tiptop shape after housesitting for several days. We were delighted to find she went above and beyond - washed all the linens she used, picked up poop in the yard and covered our hot tub when the cover flew off unexpectedly. Our pup seemed very content and loved when we arrived home. Highly recommend!”
“Claire took such great care of my two very big dogs! I needed someone who would be able to stay in my home with them and she brought her two incredibly well behaved smaller dogs with her. Our dogs got along great. She kept my dogs company and maintained their feeding and walking schedule so well for the week I was gone. I received pictures daily of what fun they were having. She also cleaned up after herself completely and show great care and respect for my home. I will 100% ask her next time I need someone to come stay with my fur babies!
