Gary was a great communicator and so sweet with both our pups!! He was fantastic about sending photos and videos to keep us in the loop and was very attentive about details like medications etc. We'll definitely be sending Olive & Basil to stay with Gary again on our next trip!!
Daniel was a great sitter for Charlie. I received frequent updates including photos and videos of Charlie. He responded quickly to my messages. His dog Ollie was also very friendly and Charlie had a friend to hang out with. When I brought Charlie back to Daniel’s house the week after for boarding, he was very excited. Charlie is on medications for his heart and Daniel asked all the questions to make sure everything was done correctly. From the meet and greet to dropping and picking Charlie up, everything went smoothly. I would recommend having Daniel as your pet sitter if you want someone who is dependable, friendly, and will go above and beyond for your pet.
I contacted Elba last minute for dog boarding and I’m beyond grateful I found her. She was the best person to take care of our fur babies! From the beginning, Elba treated them with love, attention, and like they were part of her family. She even hand-fed one of our dogs the first day when he wasn’t eating, let them sleep next to her, and made sure they were happy, social, and well-fed every single day. They made new furry friends and had the best time. What made it even better was how often she kept us updated — more than 5 times a day with photos and videos showing how well they were doing. That gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. We are truly blessed and thankful for Elba. Thank you for loving our dogs like your own. We 100% recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet care! Contacté a Elba a último momento para cuidar a nuestros perritos y no puedo estar más agradecida. ¡Fue la mejor persona para cuidar a nuestros bebés peludos! Desde el primer día los trató con tanto amor y atención, como si fueran parte de su familia. Incluso le dio de comer en la mano a uno de los perritos el primer día porque no quería comer. Durmió con ellos, los llenó de cariño y se aseguraba cada día de que estuvieran felices, bien alimentados y haciendo nuevos amiguitos. Lo que más tranquilidad nos dio fue que Elba nos enviaba actualizaciones más de 5 veces al día, con fotos y videos que mostraban lo bien que estaban. Eso no tiene precio cuando uno está lejos. Estamos realmente bendecidos y agradecidos por todo lo que hizo. Gracias Elba por tratarlos con tanto amor. ¡La recomendamos al 100%!
Jaclyn is the best sitter! This was our dog Lunas second time with Jaclyn and she ran right up to her front door and was so excited to see her. We got lots of pictures and updates and could tell Luna had a great time! We will definitely use Jaclyn again for future sitting needs
Krystal and her family are seriously incredible!!! They took care and loved our sweet Murphy girl so well for 2 weeks. We were so grateful for all the pictures, videos and updates that were sent. They made us feel at ease knowing Murphy was having so much fun. We will absolutely be using Krystal again! :)
