“Michelle was great with our girls. They knew we were leaving and were stressed out, but once she got to our home and they met her, they knew they were going to be taken care of. Bella gave Michelle time to settle in before she brought her frisbee to her to play. It was great having her, the girls weren’t stressed with her & we will continue using her going forward.”

“Great communication and flexibility. Accepted a last minute booking and made a big effort to make us feel secure and learn everything our dogs. We will definitely book again! Thanks a lot!”
“Brandy was perfect for our two pups! She was professional and on time, and provided pupdates and pictures. Our dogs were in her lap within 5 minutes of her being in our home. Brandy provides a sense of zen and reassurance and was just what our dogs needed. We will definitely be using Brandy again. She also left our house spotless & it was nice to return home that! Our dogs have been wandering around looking for her since she left ❤️. Thank you Brandy!”

Julie S.
“I have known Julie for many years and know her love for animals directly. Over time, she has kept my dogs Rex and Rosie and I never once had any concerns about their care. Rosie had become diabetic and required injection of Vetsulin twice a day. Julie took care of Rosie and Rex for several weeks while my wife and I took a long trip and she made sure Rosie's medicine was given and her dietary needs met. Rosie is no longer with us, she died last March at age 14. But Rex is still active and I'll turn to Julie to care for him when the occasion arises.”
