19. Ludovic P.
“If we could give Ludo more than 5 stars we would! We had a sitter we used previously from Rover that we weren’t very happy with so we were nervous leaving our dogs in new hands. However, he stayed at our house Christmas weekend with our 3 dogs and he was absolutely fantastic. He was very communicative, sent a bunch of videos/photos and updates throughout the day! If he left the house he’d let us know when he was leaving and as soon as he got back. The dogs were very happy and loved having him, as did we. He left our house looking better than when we had it when we left! He blew us away with how great he was with our dogs. They can be a handful and high energy sometimes but he handled them very well. We didn’t like to go out of town because we couldn’t trust anyone watching the dogs, but after this weekend we 10000% trust Ludo and will be booking with him from here on out knowing our dogs will be in good hands. We already booked with Ludo again and we know the doggos can’t wait to see him again!”
20. Tiffany B.
“Tiffany saved me when I had to book her last minute for my trip out of town after my german shepherd suddenly injured his back leg. She was able to administer his medicine and provide me with updates on his injury. My shepherd felt comfy and safe with her at the house! Thank you Tiffany!”
