1. Chantal F.
“I highly recommend Chantal! She took excellent care of my 3 Chihuahuas. Chantal sent updates and pictures of the dogs regularly. She also answered my text messages quickly. I came home to happy dogs and a clean home. I will definitely contact Chantal again the next time I go away! the next time I go away.”
2. Maria C.
“Maria has taken care of our sassy 20-year-old cat Pippi more than once. Maria is very communicative, always sends photos with feedback, and is gracious enough to cater to the idiosyncratic habits of our very senior kitty.”
3. Ilia K.
“Ilia was fantastic. Although Oliver was not well during our absent she handled it very professionally and with care. She communicated with us frequently on Oliver's well-being. Which was very much appreciated. She stayed in our home the entire time and left it very clean and orderly. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter. Thank you once again Ilia. Michaela and Dan”
4. Patricia B.
“Patricia is a very warm, genuine, and nurturing person. She is very attentive towards the animals that are in her care. Toby warmed up to her quickly and was immediately playful. She texted me regular updates and sent daily photos, which completely reassured me that Toby was well taken care of throughout his stay.”
5. Rachel B.
“Rachel was fantastic. We’d had a bad experience several years ago and were nervous about leaving Katie. We couldn’t have left her in better hands - Katie loved her and it was like we’d never left her after we returned home after 3 days. We couldn’t recommend any higher.”
