1. Janet H.
“Janet was once again great with Kiwi (second time we hired her). Kiwi had been spayed a week and a half earlier, so she had to wear a “donut” around her neck to keep from licking her stitches and wasn’t able to go on a walk or run around. Janet did a great job of playing calm and engaging games with her and keeping her happy. We loved getting pictures and a summary of their time together. We highly recommend Janet!”

“Natalie has been absolutely fantastic with my four dogs. She handles them all with no problem at all. She is responsible and flexible with schedule changes and that has been a big help as my work schedule does fluctuate. The dogs just love her and we feel very fortunate to have her as our daily pet sitter. I would strongly recommend Natalie if you are looking for peace of mind when it comes to having someone trustworthy to care for your pets.”
