1. Ann-Marie G.
“Ann-Marie was awesome with my dog Charlie. She was very kind, personable and trustworthy. She stayed at my place while I was gone and held the fort down. Charlie loved the walks and attention she gave him. She sent me multiple pictures to let me know he was doing good. I highly recommend her service.”
2. Eric M.
“Eric watched our dog Sterling for six days/nights and Sterling seemed to enjoy time spent together with Eric. Sterling was at ease around Eric from the get-go. Sterling had meds he was finishing up and Eric took over dosing Sterling for us. Eric kept us abreast of their time together with texts and photos, which we appreciated so much. If were to need a dog sitter again we would call Eric.”
3. Natalie H.
“Natalie is an animal lover. She is so great with my neurotic and anxious Yorkie Lola. Lola loves Natalie’s calming nature and will sit with her —-enjoying her little ear scratch and conversation. I would wholeheartedly recommend Natalie to care for my animals. They would be loved and cared for as if they were her own.”

10. Tanya F.
“Tanya went out of her way to come to our house to babysit our Labrador puppy. She was patient and kind and took time to talk about our expectations while we were away from our baby puppy. Taking care of a puppy requires patience and tolerance and love for animals. We could tell Tanya had all of these. She sent pics and communicated with us while we were away. I would recommend Tanya. And we would use her again.”
11. Lauryn E.
“Lauryn kept my puppy cooper healthy and happy. He’s never liked anyone we’ve tried to get to watch him but he liked her. She is so amazing with pets. I knew he was well cared for when I was gone. She took him for daily walks and always kept me updated with pictures!”
