3. Blythe R.
“I was so nervous to leave my dog for the first time! He's a 100 lb. Puppy with energy for days, whose also very dog reactive! He is family and I wanted to make sure wherever he stayed he was treated the way I would treat him at home. Blythe gave me comfort in leaving him there. Even before his stay, I found myself having tons of questions, she responded quickly and never made me feel like a bother. While I was gone, she sent me pictures every day with an update! She took him for walks, played in her fenced in yard and gave him loads of snuggles! I truly am thankful for Blythe! If she's available when you need a sitter, I promise your pooch won't be in better hands!!”

“Karen & Troy + Kids are extraordinary dog sitters that spoil my pup with holiday treats and an abundance of love. My pup always seems to have enjoyed himself and is worn out whenever I pick him up.

13. Megan & Richard S.

She is very responsible and loves animals.”

We will hands down work with Wendy for any future trips. I cannot recommend her enough!”
