3. Lizzy L.
“Lizzy took such wonderful care of my bunny, Bean, that I think he was disappointed to see that I was back from my trip.🤣 I have booked with Lizzy for 6 days later this month and know that Bean will be well taken care of and loved.”
4. Sara D.
“Sara was wonderful to work with and comforted us knowing we are leaving our family in great capable hands. Addie is a reactive rescue dog, and the fact that she also has one, we saw during our meet and greet that Sara recognized the signs of Addie being uncomfortable and let her have her space. Previous dog sitter we looked at had no idea of the body signs and hackles. Sara got it immediately giving us additional comfort that Addie was in great hands. She was professional with the updates, and messages and kept us apprised of anything going on. 100% will be working with Sara in the future!”

Highly recommend Tyler!”
