Top rated Gilford doggy day care sitters
“Odessa almost jumps out of the car when I drop her off to Heather. She always has an incredible time while I’m off working at class. I could not have found a better caretaker than Heather. She’s so experienced and wonderful, it’s the greatest sense of security to know your pup’s not only safe and sound but literally having the time of her life enjoying herself.”
“Took great care of my dogs would use anytime”
“Susan is so warm and welcoming, and our sweet Murph felt relaxed right away! He enjoyed naps and long walks and had a great time during his day with her. Very much appreciated!!”
“Kim is the absolute best. We've tired a few sitters for our Abbi (Golden Retriever) before finding Kim. No need to look any further. Leaving Abbi with Kim was like having an experienced, dog loving family member watch her. Kim sent pictures and updates throughout Abbi's stay. I highly recommend Kim and will definitely book her again.”
“Christy was so awesome! She made sure my pup coconut was comfortable with the other dogs that she was watching and sent lots of adorable pictures of them all playing in the snow together. She had great communication throughout the day and i will be rebooking next time I’m in the area.”
“Alina was so fantastic! We spent a few minutes introducing our dogs on drop off. Then I was off and Daisy was taken on an awesome adventure walking all around Portsmouth. By the time I picked her up, Daisy, normally full of energy, had clearly had a good time and was ready for a nap, a rare sight.”
