“Catherine did a great job with our anxious reactive little guy (9 yr old Morkie). She was very responsive and sent lots of photo updates. I recommend her if you have a dog that needs some personal space from other dogs that a normal kennel environment can’t provide.”
“Alexis was one of the most reliable and sweet dog sitters! She kept me updated and was very understanding when I was later than expected. I highly suggest her as a dog sitter as I will be using her here on out! :)”

“Alisha is very kind and treats her dog guests like they are her own. She even allowed Ranji to sleep with her. He seemed to really love it there despite struggling with separation anxiety in the past. He came home so tired after playing at her house the entire time which is great because he can be high energy. Alisha communicates well and sent us a picture of Ranji while we were away.”

Alena S.
“Alena is absolutely a pet whisperer! She is such a gentle soul and big animal lover. She cared for our sweet 8-year-old poodle bichon multiple times and he absolutely loved her. She was very responsible and made sure to follow his meal schedule, took him on long walks outside, and of course gave him lots of cuddles and attention. She also pet sat and house sat for our friends and their cats many times and they were always extremely pleased with her help. We highly recommend Alena!”
