Ceondra K.
“Ceondra was the best sister I ever had! She is a real cat lover and it was obvious from the moment that she walked in the door that she was the right fit! She sent tons and tons of pictures of my babies, and even went above and beyond to trim all their nails without charge, and gave each of them a cute little bowtie! I would never choose anyone else to watch my babies. 20out of 10 service right here, doesn’t get any better than Ceondra!”
Susan E.
“Susan watched my Yorkshire Terrier for months while I was deployed and my wife needed to move back home and could not take our dog Lenny with her. Without Susan, my dog would be in a much worse place than she is now. While in Susan's care, Lenny was taken to Petco once a week to receive her standard Yorkie haircut and nails trimmed. She also took Lenny to the vet to have a dental exam, which resulted in the vet identifying that Lenny needed dental surgery for an infection. Lenny is and was not fixed at the time and Susan has a husky who is also not fixed and she handled the situation very well. Susan kept Lenny and her husky, Kotah separated for the duration of about a week. I would recommend Susan to watch and care for your dog 100 times over. She really loves dogs and in shows in how she cares for her own dogs.”
Jeanette V.
“Jeanette is a very caring and responsible person. Her family has always owned pets and now that she is out on her own she has a fish and adopted a cat from the local humane society. She really wanted a dog however she was mature enough to realize that with her work schedule she would not have the time needed to care for a dog properly. She has several dog sitting experiences and understands the importance of following an owner's instructions.”
