1. Audrey G.
“100/10 would totally recommend! Huge thank you to Audrey for taking such good care of our babies while we were away. She was awesome with keeping us updated (I’m annoyingly obsessive about our pets) and even took our girl on a snowshoe. Takes a special soul to be patient and energetic enough to handle a blue heeler puppy! She will be our go to for future travels.”
2. Ashley L.
“Ashley is the most loving and responsible person when it comes to caring for pets. I have a dog of my own and only trust Ashley to care for her when I am out of town. She loves my dog as much as I do, and never fails to provide the best care and companionship possible. I definitely recommend her services.”
3. Reilly L.
“Our dogs warmed up to her almost instantly, our home was left in perfect order and she communicated in a timely fashion. We will ask her to dogsit in the future and would recommend her to anyone.”
4. Cora T.
“Cora did a wonderful job! She was responsible, kind to my dog, took great care of the house, and was incredibly flexible when my flights were cancelled and I couldn't get home. I recommend her with great enthusiasm.”
5. Claire S.
“My dog is very wild and does not behave well around new people especially females, so I really struggle when I need a dog sitter, BUT then, I found Claire Sampson. I don't have enough words to express how amazing Claire was with my Bella. She taught her new tricks, and I thought you can't teach old dogs new tricks but I was wrong! Bella was jumping and rolling all around from Claire's new training protocol. I thought it was a bit odd that they both were doing backflips when I got home, but I dont judge. I highley recommend Claire for any dog service!!!”
6. Michalena H.
“Michalena H. watched our little Daisy for the Weekend, She was prompt, and engaged Daisy as soon as she walked in the house. It did not take Daisy long to bond with her. It is the first time I had someone at my house, and I would do it again. Michalena, was very caring, and spent quality time with Daisy. I would have her watch Daisy, without a doubt, anytime. Thank you Michalena.”
7. Adriana G.
“Adriana did an excellent job. Our dogs loved her and she followed our wishes for care. She spent time playing and exercising our pups . She was great with communication and pictures while we were away. She went the extra mile.”
8. Liam G.
“My friend Liam watched my dog for me while I went on a camping trip for a weekend. He did a great job and my dog always loves when he comes over.”
