“My dog had the best stay with Erin, where she was loved and spoiled and treated like a member of the family. For me, I enjoyed the peace of mind knowing that my pup was in good hands while I was away. I would not hesitate to use Erin as a pet sitter again, and I highly recommend her to all the pet moms and dads!”

“Amy and her family were great, with our puppy Sadie! This was the first time Sadie was away from home and family, but Amy made us feel comfortable about leaving her. She kept us informed with videos and pictures. And when we came to pick Sadie up, I don't think Sadie was ready to leave! We will definitely be using Amy again, and would recommend to others!”
