“We came home to happy, healthy dogs. Michelle was flexible about difficulties we had with travel from the huge storm that blew in just before Christmas which was really helpful.”
4. Meredith C.
“We came back to a clean house and happy dogs, which is difficult because Coco is never happy with anyone. :) Coco must have had an especially good time, because she was in a very good mood. And my old lady, Maya, looked well cared for and clean, which is tough given her incontinence problems. The house looked well cared for as well. Meredith herself was extremely professional and responsive! I can’t recommend her enough!”

Nugget has health issues and Jessica stays right on top of everything with all of his medicines . She loves animals and would be a wonderful pet caregiver . She loves taking them on walks and playing with them .”
6. Karen H.
“My dog, Honey, is a senior 50-pound pitbull with reactive tendencies. This makes it difficult to find a dogsitter who is both reliable and able to handle her on walks... so we are very lucky to have found Karen who has watched Honey on a number of occasions including daytime dogsitting, overnight dogsitting, as well as just walks. I highly recommend Karen - she is responsible, follows directions to the T, and most importantly, is great with dogs!”
