“June was excellent with our four cats, three of whom have special needs and require oral medication. June listened carefully to my cat care instructions, reviewed the notes I provided, asked questions as needed and even picked up on some things that I didn’t specifically mention. June arrived early for her visits. I was very pleased and look forward to becoming a regular customer!”
“Abigail was wonderful with my sarge! She even went out of her way to tidy up around my house. My boy looked excited to see her every time she came. Thank you thank you!!”
“Tara B. did a great job taking care of our dog Jesse. We felt comfortable immediately since she provided a brief report with pictures every visit. She also came to visit Jesse prior to us leaving for vacation. She was reliable and arrived at the pre-determined scheduled times. She was kind to our dog and attentive. We would definitely recommend Tara B, and use again in the future as needed.”
“Ruby was amazing and super easy to work with! She was very attentive to my two pups and had a lot of patience when it came to one of them being naughty (wouldn’t come inside). She was very timely with her visits and kept us updated while we were away! I would definitely book again with Ruby and recommend her to friends and family :)”
“Megan is by far the best dog sitter I have ever had to n Rover. My dogs love her and sometimes she brings her kids over to play with the dogs and they just love them. If you need an outstanding dog sitter you can’t go wrong with Megan. She always goes above and beyond even picking up my packages for me and placing them in the house. As long as I live in Clarksville I will never us another sitter! Thanks Megan for taking care of four legged family your the best!”
“I never thought I could leave my dogs in the care of a stranger . I have 3 toy Aussies and one has severe separation anxiety. 10 minutes in our meet and greet Colt who does not like strangers begged for Hollys attention and brought a toy he rarely plays with . Holly is such a gentle soul!!! I am blessed to have found her.”
“Amanda is a blessing to have taking care of our pup! Each day getting pictures was so fun and they became more animated as our silly girl got more visits in with her. She is knowledgeable and super accommodating. Thank you so much!”
