1. Brittany D.
“I met will several people all charging more & was not impressed with any of them. A last minute trip came up and while everyone's calendar said they were available quite a few never responded and most couldn't keep Sky for a week. I met with 4 and just didn't feel as comfortable as I did leaving Sky with Brittany. We met at her apartment building's dog park. Sky & Bailey were fine together. This was a nice surprise because Sky doesn't accept many dogs or people. Our trip got extended a day but Brittany had no issues in adding an additional day last minute. I will tell you that if you don't check Brittany out then you're doing a big disservice to your pet.”
2. Mora J.
“Bowen had the best weekend! I could already tell from the pictures and videos but it was confirmed when I went to pick him up and he wouldn’t get in the car. He didn’t want to leave. He couldn’t have received better care and I highly recommend!”
3. Emily N.
“Thankfully I didn’t have the drop Baguerra off for long. She was definitely stressed out with so many strangers in a strange place. With that, I really appreciate Emily for watching her on such short notice.”
4. Isabel E.
“Isabel was wonderful and accommodated all my pup’s needs. She was incredibly hospitable and made sure my dog was cared for as her own! She asked tons of questions and filled me in on how my dog was doing while I was gone for 5 days! She and her care are amazing and my dog was really loved and cared for. I can’t thank her and her husband for caring for her so well on short notice!”
5. Sloane F.
“Such a wonderful experience for both me and my dog! Regular updates with pictures about how my dog was doing. Very insightful observations on his emotions, behavior and habits. Sloane was always accessible when I had questions or to just chat! She truly enjoyed my dog as much as I do and cared for him, not just took care of him. Sloane enforced all my "dog rules" while he was with her and returned with NO BAD HABITS! Two thumbs and four paws UP!”

11. Charity S.

12. Martine & Ronald W.

14. Tania P.
“Tania was wonderful! Our two senior fur-babies had a great overnight stay. Tania sent photos, took them on walks, and was so gracious to accept our very last minute request. Our pups came back home wore out from a fun-filled time. Thanks, Tania!”

16. Ariana M.

“Kathleen was great and easy to schedule with!”
18. Molly G.
“Molly did a great job looking after my dog on his initial visit. He was very happy and calm when I picked him up indicating he was in a very comfortable environment while i was away. Definitely will rebook with Molly on next opportunity.”
19. Valerie M.
“Valerie was the perfect sitter. She took great care of Buck and provided updates while we were gone. I would 100% use her again for watching Buck, Thanks Valerie!”
20. Chantel W.
“Chantel looked after my 2-month old kitten and did an amazing job. She kept him company, played with him, introduced him to her dog and guinea pigs, and moved at his pace. Her experience with kittens, who often have a lot of energy, was important to me, as they are prime to learn and pickup any behavior. The fact that my kitten came back more loving and cuddley assures me he was in great hands. Would highly recommend Chantel to cat owners!”
