“We were desperate for a Christmas sitter, and Brian saved us! The cats absolutely adored him and we knew they were in good hands. The quality time he spent with them while we were gone meant the absolute world, and it showed in the pictures he sent. We can't wait to book Brian again!”
2. Madi S.
“Madi was awesome with our 15yo Daisy Dog, Charlie! I very much appreciated her willingness to do a meet-and-greet with us. She was timely and the photos she sent of her time with him quickly put our minds at ease. We will definitely use Madi again for drop-in visits and extended stays in the future.”
3. Maelee N.
“Marlee was amazing. She sent tons of pictures and notes. One of my dogs is a rescue and tramatized, she took to Maelee right away. And Maelee was able to get her to take her medication and go to the bathroom. Which is not always easy to do. She took a lot of time with the dogs and was very patient with them”
