2. angie a.
“There are not enough words to describe how amazing our experience was. First let me start by saying my initial dog sitter Canceled on us the day before our flight to Columbia. Due to safety reasons because of the hurricane. I contacted Angie and she immediately responded and we did a meet and greet right away. My dogs loved her and family instantly. She provided multiple daily updates and tons of photos which will be printing out. Lol Leaving your dogs with someone such last min is never easy but Angie surely made it very smooth! Our dogs came home happy to see us but I can see they are sad to have left. If you need a sitter who is response, caring, loving and will treat your dog as thier own then this is your person! Recommend 1000% .”

19. Annette A.
“AAA+++. From the moment we arrived at Annette's home the experience was outstanding. Her home is beautiful and has everything designed with pets wellbeing in mind. There is a large fenced yard and a separate fenced area for small breeds. She is very well prepared, caring and experienced. Our dogs both ill and on meds. One with DCM, which can cause him to be very anxious and need special time, patience and attention. We had to change our schedule on 3 different occasions due to family illness; dropping off late, adding extra days and picking up late. This was a very difficult time for us, yet she worked with us through it all accommodating the changes. She sent us pics everyday and even videos. When we picked them up they were so happy and healthy we were delighted. Annette is a Blessing and we will definitely be leaving our furr babies with her on every future trip.”
