“Jacqualyn is professional, she handled our dog Selkie well and she asked pertinent questions. Today was their first walk together, so I joined them during the first half to chat and then they continued on without me. It went really well and I will book again. Thank you!”
5. Donna H.
“I can’t recommend Donna enough! I am a super over protective puppy mom because my mini Bernie has separation anxiety so and I get nervous leaving him with a sitter (or literally anyone who isn’t me). I went on a trip recently and, thanks to Donna, I didn’t worry about my pup for a single minute. She was not only fantastic with us both during our initial meeting, she also sent updates with multiple pictures after each visit. If you are looking for a sitter or walker, you must choose Donna; she is both professional and knowledgeable! There is absolutely nothing more valuable than the peace of mind of knowing your pet is being loved and cared for and Donna has definitely provided that for Bernie and me.”

“Maxine pet sat for our two VERY energetic dachshunds this summer for a whole weekend, in our home. We had newly rescued them and they were still getting used to the house and their surroundings. She managed them very well--not only were they well cared for physically, but she also provided a warm, comfortable company for them. She was on time, responsive, and followed all of our directions. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, warm and trustworthy pet sitter.”
