2. Amy N.


“Our pup, Fred, clearly loved his stay with Amy. He came home from his long weekend tired and happy. For a moment, I think he didn’t even want to come home with us, he was having so much fun! Thank you, Amy, and we hope to have Freddy hang out with you again soon!”

5. Kathleen K.

“Duke has been to “Ms. Kathy’s” (as we call her) a half a dozen or so times. When we ask if he wants to go, he tilts his head and gets so excited! We always get a bunch of pictures that my kids enjoy seeing. I like that there is often a playmate or 2 for our pup. As always, Duke will be returning soon! ⭐️”

11. Audrey M.

“Our older cat is afraid of her shadow and keeps her distance from people she doesn’t know. Audrey was patient and gentle with her. She sent me pictures and notes every day. I like that she works from home so your pet is not left alone very often. And her adorable and very friendly kitten is happy to be a playmate or can be kept separate if needed. Give Audrey a try. You won’t be disappointed.”
