“The fact that Jennifer came to stay with my three dogs was a huge blessing! They loved her immediately which put my mind at ease. She took great care of our four-legged family taking them out for long walks and sent photos. My house was immaculate when she left. The most important thing was that she sat with my 16-year-old dog that was in the early stages of dying. She did not leave her alone. This means everything to me! Jennifer is very kind, thoughtful, and gentle. I could not have asked for a better person to be here! I will call her 1st.every time! Thank you, Jennifer!”
“Valarie was wonderful in watching my Furbabies. She sent pictures on several occasions to keep me updated on the furbabies and let me know when she arrived and when they all were settling into bed for the night and upon leaving. I would 100% book her again and recommend her services. Thank you Valarie!”

I even came home to a clean home! She said she wanted me to be able to relax when I returned. I will definitely use her again! Absolutely incredible service.”

Morgan is truly remarkable, and we will undoubtedly hire her again once we embark on our next trip.”
