“Mike did a great job watching my dog! He was super accommodating, flexible with his schedule, always quick to respond to my messages, and he sent cute pics and videos! My dog was happy and relaxed at the end of the stay. Highly recommend Mike!”
3. Shea M.
“Shea is incredible! She really helped cater to the needs of my dog. I felt at ease the entire time he was in her care. I would recommend to anyone in need of dog sitting and overnight care. She was very responsive and flexible with our schedule.”
4. Richard H.
“My Henry is thrilled to have another Henry… he was welcomed and taken care of like he’s part of the family… flexibility and patience in excess didn’t hurt— I had flight delays and changes, but I was reassured to know that Richard made that part of travel/reentry smooth and anxiety-free. T best part: my Henry (big Henry? Brown Henry?) came home healthy and happy. Highly recommend.”
5. Kathy K.
“My dog stayed with Kathy over an extended period (10 days) and did really well. As a rescue with a rough early start, my dog can be skittish and slow to warm up to new people and situations, but Kathy and her husband were patient and my dog not only seemed to relax, but also enjoy having a yard to play in and (dog) buddies to play with. Kathy’s willingness to pick up and drop off my dog was also really convenient and helpful. Highly recommend!”
