2. Annemarie E.

“I procrastinated and needed a last minute a pet sitter for my cat during the holidays. Annemarie was really accommodating to my needs on such a short notice, willing to even do a meet and greet on the day of booking since I had to leave the next day. Overall, Annemarie is a wonderful and trustworthy person who will send update pictures and videos of your four-legged best friend while following the notes you left to a T. Definitely recommend.”

He always sends updates and photos, which will put a huge smile on your face and let you know your dog is having the best day/time. Whether it’s play time or overnight stays your dogs will always be excited to see Eric. He is like the Pied Piper of furry friends . . . a ringleader they all want to follow along with and have fun. He is so reliable, trustworthy and provides such a kind, gentle home with a great backyard for play. I’ve known Eric for more years than I can count . . . he has the soul of a dog and is such a dog lover! He truly cares about them as family. Our dog is always thrilled to see Eric and I trust him implicitly.”
