“Wade is very interested in learning about the training techniques my dogs are familiar with. He followed behavior management measures like distance and reward based training to help my somewhat difficult dog remain calm. He showed dedication to his charges by taking the dogs out in the pouring rain without hesitation. The dogs are used to the rain.”


“This was Shannon's second time sitting for us - she is very conscientious, and affectionate with our cat. She provides daily photos and feedback, and is very prompt with communication - 5 stars all around!”


“Rosie had her first walk with Rikki today! We are super satisfied and already booked another walk! Rikki is attentive and kind. She was able to handle our 2y/o GSD very well and was very willing to use the German commands that Rosie is familiar with!”


“Victoria was so communicative and attentive to my pup’s needs! She’s very attuned to the nature of animals and communicates any mishaps with grace and understanding (ie barking at a stranger that popped up out of nowhere on a walk). Victoria was also amazing with all the picture documentation of the walks which put me at so much ease! Seeing my girl’s face helps me know she is feeling okay and doing well. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”

“Meng (Kay) has been amazing to work with. She took the time to get to know me, (even when my dog was not available) and also went the extra mile to do a very early morning meet and greet with my dog Tucker, and go for a walk with us before I had to leave for work. She’s gone above and beyond to mimic things just as do them, and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She takes great care of Tucker and sends a lot of pictures, videos, and updates. Having Kay be there for Tucker and myself has been such a huge help, and a truly enjoyable experience!”

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Monique LeBron and the care she provides for our Frenchie, Stormy.

She’s incredibly professional, responsible, and loving everything you’d want in someone caring for your fur baby. What truly blew us away is how Stormy actually came back better trained after her stay! Monique goes above and beyond just watching her she takes the time to reinforce good habits and routines. We noticed positive changes immediately. Stormy absolutely adores her, and honestly, so do we. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust wholeheartedly. Highly, highly recommend Monique to anyone who wants peace of mind and a happy, well-loved pup.”
