“Lizzie was great, my wife and I would definitely recommend her! Since moving to the area from Florida we have had a difficult time leaving our goldendoodle with just anyone especially since we were a little hesitant on using the Rover app. But Lizzie has made us feel so much more confident in it. Her constant updates and genuine care for our dog really showed. Making my wife and I not worry at all and allowing us to enjoy our time away. We can also tell that our pup really enjoyed her and Walter’s (Lizzie dog) company. We most definitely plan on using her services again.”


“Wonderful Care for My Senior Pup, Jackson! I cannot recommend Jannelle enough! I recently went on a trip abroad and was incredibly nervous about leaving my senior dog, Jackson, behind. Jackson has some special needs due to his age, and I wanted to make sure he was comfortable and well-cared for. From the very beginning, Jannelle put me at ease. During our meet-and-greet, she took the time to understand Jackson's routine, medications, and any specific needs he might have. Throughout my trip, Jannelle provided me with regular updates and pictures. These detailed reports included information on Jackson's walks, meals, playtime, and overall mood. It was such a relief to see pictures of Jackson happy and relaxed, and the detailed reports gave me peace of mind knowing he was getting the care he deserved. When I returned home, Jackson was in great spirits! It was clear he had been well-loved and looked after. Jannelle even took extra time and attention to treat a recently inflamed skin tag while I was away. If you're looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter, especially for an older dog with special needs, look no further than Jannelle. I will definitely be booking with her again for future trips!”
