“Cher is amazing. We’ve booked her twice now. She goes above and beyond and provides updates. Our travel plans changed quite a bit due to weather and she was flexible and easy to work with. I never like leaving our cat when we travel, but it makes it easier knowing she is in good hands.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sit for my dog. She took out the time to include photos, hang out with her and even gave me some advice. Michelle is excellent at what she does, I highly recommend using her!”
“Very detailed with Hanks and let me know everything was going on and if anything seemed different so he wasn't afraid to call and double check everything with my pup. Highly recommended”
“We loved Lily! She was so personable and took very good care of our little Lucy. She sent cute pictures and was very communicative. We're very picky on who watches her just because she's 15 and very hard of hearing. But Lily did not make us worry one bit that Lucy was in good hands. I will not hesitate to contact her again!”
