“Two words to describe Steph dependable and kind. I booked with Steph about 6 months in advance, she mentioned having experience with animals that have special physical and social needs. She really proved it. She took Max out as often as I asked, every time. She also went a step further and took my energy filled guy on a few walks. She sent me videos/pics as often as we discussed from the beginning. He even played with his toys with her, he never does that!! I also wanted someone who would be home with Max my entire trip away, she kept him company the entire time. Steph was accommodating to the fullest with our schedule and needs. The best part, I arrived home to find Max so calm and joyous (apart from the norm). You could tell his soul was happy and he was the most well taken care of he has ever been!”
“Sarina came through again. Our geriatric dog Sprite has a real finicky appetite. Sarina was great at communicating what Sprite was doing, and was great at trying different things to get Sprite to eat.”
“Ashlyn took great care of our babies while we were on vacation! She kept me updated on everything & sent lots of pictures which we loved. It made us feel so much more at ease knowing our dogs were getting plenty of attention while we were gone. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Sarah was fantastic! She stayed with our little pom for an extended period while we were out of the country. Sarah is very responsive to communications and our doggie just loved her. It is rare to find someone who is trustworthy and dependable, but Sarah is just that. We loved her bubbly personality and we are lucky to have found her. Thank you Sarah!!! We were able to enjoy our trip without worries over our pet or home.”
“Mia is incredible!! Not only is she the sweetest, but my dogs adore her! She played with them and was attentive to their needs. She also went above and beyond to help me with a last minute dog emergency. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Peter was exceptional. Right before we left one of the dogs was diagnosed with cancer and he went above and beyond to give us updates and deal with issues. Could not have asked for better service or responsiveness. Think the dogs wanted to leave with him”
“Royalty was a great pet sitter he sent pics and videos from the time I left for vacation till the time I got home I was very pleased with his services and will definitely use him next time I go out of town!!!”
“Andra was professional, courteous, and loving with my pets. She communicated clearly and effectively and managed a health concern with one of my dogs calmly and with care. She went above and beyond consistently. I would strongly recommend her services and would hire her again in the future without hesitation.”
“Kiley was great! She took great care of my puppy and kept me updated! We met ahead of time, discussed my puppy’s schedule and continued to discuss as things changed. She was flexible and let me know when things had to change from both ends. Each time she checked on my puppy she gave me an update on what they did and sent pictures”
