Allejah really is a five star sitter! Communication and knowledge of doggie behaviors, attention to detail, flexibility, and LOVE are all top tier. This was my first boarding experience and I have a senior dog so I was on pins and needles going in- my anxiety was eliminated after meeting Allejah and receiving my first round of doggie mail. My old pup was just as comfortable and cantankerous with her as he is with us:-). I appreciated that she made my Velcro dog feel comfortable enough to relax, rest, and cuddle. As an anxious pet parent- I was comfortable enough to enjoy my travels. I would 100% recommend her and I’d love to have her puppy sit again when the need arises.

Siobhan was great! She kept me posted about Shade and sent pictures. I liked she had other dogs for Shade to interact with. A plus is Siobhan’s location is very convenient to where I live. This is the third time I requested her services, however was only fortunate to book twice. Very pleased and would recommend!
