“Theresa was great with my beagle-mix and was very understanding regarding all of my concerns as a dog-mom. She sent pictures and updates which put my mind at ease. My dog seemed very comfortable with her and I believe he truly enjoyed his stay with her and her chihuahua-mix, Lois.”
“Goose had a fantastic time for several days with Liz, Eric, and their pup as well as other visiting dogs. We loved receiving lots of photos of him each day, and it was good to know he was getting plenty of play and exercise. Goose will definitely be back!”
“Rodney & Marissa watched my two 85 lb. Labradoodles for 10 days while I was on vacation. With other dog sitters my dogs had diarrhea for days after but not this time. They were in great shape! I really appreciated the pictures sent every other day. Thank you! I’ll definitely use you again.”
“I can’t say enough about Gisel and her family that gave us a warm welcome the moment we connected. At our meet and greet, I knew she was the one to host our #furbaby Cody. Even her children were loving towards him. They are a wonderful family and far exceeded our expectations of caring for our Cody with pics and videos the whole seven days. Our neighbor uses her as well for their Yorkie and are very pleased with the care they’ve received. The bonus for us, she’s a stay at home mom and Cody was not left alone all day. She has small dogs as well and he was able to meet new friends. This was our first time leaving Cody without family and Gisel eased all of my anxiety because of her love for animals. We’ll be using her again soon.😊”
