“Averi took excellent care of our dog Rocco and our home while we were away for a long weekend! She was very accommodating and Rocco was so relaxed when we got home! 10/10!”


4. Rachel J.

“Rachel was amazing! She helped with our dogs while we were gone for the weekend, and both dogs (and our cat) loved her and were so excited to see her. She stayed in communication with us the entire weekend and sent great pictures with updates. She followed all the instructions we left. Both dogs have terrible separation anxiety, but they didn’t seem to miss a beat while we were gone. Would definitely recommend!”

She was very communicative, sent so many photos and status check ins of my dog, and in general is so sweet and you can tell she loves animals. I will be using her services in the future and recommend to everyone. She is amazing.”
