14. Matt S.


“Our mini Aussie Penny always comes home happy and tired when she stays with Matt :) It's so great to have someone we can trust. We had trouble finding someone that knew how to deal with her separation anxiety and energy - she always seemed anxious/edgy for days after coming home from stays with other sitters. We don't have that problem anymore. Thanks, Matt and family!!”

“Kearstin is not only an all around amazing human being, but she’s a girl who loves all animals, especially dogs. She is a phenomenal dog mama to her fur baby Joe who her and her husband rescued. The patience she has with him and the connection she has made with him is truly inspiring. I have seen first hand how gentle, nurturing, loving, and responsible she is with her own, and other dogs. I would absolutely trust her with my own fur babies Lilly and Beau.”
