“Ashlee did a wonderful job housesitting for our 3 dogs! She was considerate of their routine and respectful of our home. She sent regular updates with pictures or videos and communicated her arrival and departure. All in all a wonderful experience working with her!”
“We are so pleased with the care Allison took of our dogs! She provided regular communication and photos. She also went above and beyond with taking care of our home without being asked. That level of care and service is unmatched and we are so grateful to have found her!!”
“I wish I could give Megan more than 5 stars! Megan was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Benji! She came to our home to watch him, & I could tell right away she genuinely cared about making him comfortable and happy. She was punctual, kind, and so easy to communicate with. While we were out, she kept us updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Megan treated him like her own, which made us feel so at ease! When we got home, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great day. It’s rare to find someone so reliable, caring, and trustworthy, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Megan to anyone who wants their pets cared for like family!”
