1. Stephanie A.
“Stephanie has always had a love for animals. She has had several and they have been well trained and good mannerisms. She has cared for my pets in the past and would have her care for them again in the future.”


2. Amanda R.
“Avery helped me come to the conclusion that I COULD get a dog. I have a crazy schedule at work and she was one of a handful of people who gladly and immediately volunteered to take care of my new puppy when I was away at work for long hours. When I was gone, she would give me updates on how long she was taking care of my puppy, photos, and what they did together. She's been pet sitting for quite some time in the area, she knows what she's doing, and she's pretty amazing at it! I would recommend her to anyone!”


3. Amy K.
“Amy Koppelman is the one to hire for your dogs and cats. Truly the best! We've had Amy meet both our dogs and our cats; she brings out the best in them, tends to their nail clipping and walking as needed, lets our cats in and out and even returned to let one of our cats back in...takes care in feeding, watering, cleaning the litters and asking about all the specifics needed. She takes the time to update us (complete with pictures) and we couldn't be more pleased or delighted to have Amy in our pocket. Our pets love her. We can go out of town feeling peaceful - the best part! Wonderful value and the utmost of professionals. A gem.”
