13. Abigail W.
“Abi has watched my two Boxers and senior cat multiple times. The most notable time being a last minute scheduling for two weeks while we went out of country. She is great with following instructions (I have a lot of them) and providing updates and photos of my babies. They are so relaxed when we get home and every time they see her they are always ridiculously excited. She is amazing at giving me peace of mind while away. I’d definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“Sarah grew up in a family that loves dogs. She has always been involved in the care and training of all our pups over the years. She is a very caring and responsible young lady who will always strive for the best for your pet!

Rest assured she will give the same care and attention to your pet as well!”

“Claudia is an amazing pet care giver. She is so caring, kind person and sweet. She loves dogs and she will do everything for them! I remember one time she asked someone to stop on the road to save a puppy that jumped on to the highway from a moving vehicle. That talks so much about her love for animals and true dedication to their well being. I would recommend Claudia anytime and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me for more information! She is a wonderful human being.”
