“Deanne watched our baby during our 2 weeks in Ireland. She sent daily pictures and reassuring updates about how his day was going. She's super accommodating about pickup and drop-off times, and Taisho always sleeps the entire way home, a sign of a happy, tired puppy. He's on the smaller side and not wild about being around larger dogs, so she always makes sure he gets plenty of attention and a spot on a chair up above the craziness. Deanne's the best! I've used her for overnights and longer visits like this one - she's always been great. I'm actually on Rover to book another stay!”
“Helen and Eddie were amazing with our puppy! We booked last minute because of our other sitter canceling the night before. Helen kept me updated with texts, photos, and videos over the weekend. We would love to have them puppy sit again!”

“Sabrina was wonderful for puppy play day for our two pugs (6yo and 5 months!). They had a blast, we got lots of videos and photos, and they came home exhausted in the best way. We've booked her again for a four day trip and we're confident they'll be safe, well loved, and having a blast!”

“We left our 2 year old puppy Nala with Sarah and her husband for 8 days! I was a nervous wreck being that she is my baby and only stayed at grandma's house while we were gone. I can't say enough about these two! I got pictures and updates throughout the week, Nala loves their puppy Carl, they have a yard and take the time to play with your pup!
