In fact, all we have to do is say her name and the tails start wagging instantly! It's like they know their favorite human is on the way.

We have a puppy and an older guy needing medical care and she handled both so well. I would definitely recommend April!”
16. Mandie C.
“Mandie is absolutely incredible. Not only does she treat your dog like her own, but she ensures they feel loved like you would yourself. This is the second time Mandie took care of our Bean and I think we found our dog sitter for life. She sends so many pictures and videos and Bean is always so happy when she comes over to see him — I mean really, he gets more excited for her to come over than when my husband and I come home 😅. Mandie is also just a joy of a person who is punctual, clean, flexible with our hectic schedules and we are always happy to have her sit at our house. Seriously don’t think twice, and book Mandie to watch your pup ASAP. You won’t regret it!”
17. Jasmine N.
“Jasmine is an amazing dog sitter. She is a true animal lover and treated my dog like he was her own. She sent me plenty of pics and videos and I never felt out of touch with what my Pug’s day was like. It was so nice to not have to worry about my baby while I was away. I will definitely use Jasmine again in the future. She is a true gem.”
