“Amelia was fantastic. We will 100% be booking with her again. She took great care of our baby while we were away and took amazing care of the house. The house was cleaner than when we left it.

“Sergio stayed with our two big dogs over a very hot 4th of July weekend. I think it was more challenging than usual because of the heat and fireworks, but Sergio seemed to handle it very well, and the dogs and house were in good shape on our return. He sent us a few pictures along the way. Sergio seems great with dogs, is a very personable guy, trustworthy, and responsible. I'd book him again!”

“EXCEPTIONAL! Carolina was terrific as house and dog sitter. Sent loads of pictures showing play time, multiple walks, rests, etc. We suspect the dogs now want us to leave more often!

We and Charley look forward to having her dog sit again.”
