Cheryl is awesome! Took very good care of our one year old lab for four days. We had to extend one day due to cancelled air flights. Cheryl accommodated our altered schedule. Very lucky to have her taking care of our dog.

Julia was so great caring for my fur babies. It was a long stay and she had a disabled senior dog and a juvenile puppy to care for but Julia made it look easy. I was so scared to leave my babies for such a long time but Julia sent me pictures of them having a great time with her every day! I will have her take care of my girls again next time we are out of town and this time I will know that I have nothing to worry about with my babies in Julia's care.

Karen had a tough job with our two: an old grumpy girl and an energetic beagle. She went above and beyond to assure they were safe, well cared for and happy. Thank you Karen!

Cheryl did an excellent job taking care of our furry ones. She sent pictures several times each day and communicated clearly how things were going. We were more than satisfied with her service!

Cheryl was great!!! We have relatively young dogs who we adopted through a shelter. Cheryl was very good with them and appropriately handled them. Her calm demeanor and patience led to the dogs just loving her. Our cays were very happy as well. We would love to have her back again!
