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!

I came in from out of town to visit my parents and needed someone to watch my three pups at an Airbnb—and Claire was everything we could have needed and more. She was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. The dogs took to her immediately, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!
