“Sarah is the best!! She took such good care of our two dogs and two cats, as well as our home, while while we were away. One of our dogs requires medication 4x per day and Sarah did such a good job keeping up with her schedule, and keeping us updated. Would 1000% book again!”

3. Micah G.
“Micah was prompt, polite, and very patient with our two dogs who have very different energy needs. He sent fun videos of their backyard playtime, and was very understanding as we tried to help him figure out our big dog’s sleeping drama ?. He also came for a pre sitting visit to meet the dogs and that was super helpful for all of us to feel good about the match. He stayed at our house and we were excited he asked to play the piano! The dogs got some lovely music time. Thank you Micah!”
