1. Carol R.
“Carol was a perfect match for our dog. She is kind and has a safe home for pets. She cared well for our dog and made our dog feel safe and at home. Our dog doesn’t do well with other dogs and Carol’s house is pet free so it was perfect. We highly recommend Carol!!!”
2. Pam P.
“Pam has been the best dog sitter I have ever had my pup stay with. My little guy gets to spend his day romping and playing with Pam’s dogs and he always looks like he is having the best time in all of the update pictures and videos Pam sends. I am able to comfortably travel without having to worry about the safety or happiness of my fur baby when he stays with Pam! I will absolutely be bringing him back anytime I have to travel!”
