“This was my ladies first time away from home with a dog sitter so l was a wee bit nervous. Bill and his daughter took the time to get to know my ladies and myself during our meet and greet which set the stage for their stay with him. Bill sent me a update and pictures which really helped. The ladies seemed content and adjusted to the new surroundings. Thank you very much. We will definitely use his services again.”

“This was our first time hiring a sitter on Rover. We are extremely grateful we found Yoda. They're communication before and during the stay was perfect. We received photo updates of our dog and they handled reactivity with confidence. Having Yoda care for Penny created so much ease and we were able to fully enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend ✨”
“Once again Ruby had a wonderful stay with Glen. We love seeing all the photos and messages that Glen sends to us while he is looking after her. She always comes home very happy and tired from the nice long walks he takes her on. When we dropped Ruby off at Glens she ran right up to him so excited to see him again which puts us at ease when we leave. Thanks again Glen for taking such good care of our baby girl for us 🙂”

“Sandra was wonderful with our 10 month old golden doodle. She sent lots of regular updates, pictures, and videos which eased our anxiety of leaving him alone for the first time. Would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Sandra.”
“Michelle did an amazing job with our goldens! She quickly adapted to their needs, and gave them so much love! We so appreciated the many updates with pictures and videos, and we were able to enjoy our weekend away knowing that they were well cared for. Thank you!”
