“I would give Kennedy 100 stars if I could! She was an absolute team player and stepped in immediately when we had another bad sitter experience. Kennedy took on the job with little to no insight and not getting to meet us or our pets ahead of time. She took over in the most effortless way and let us enjoy the remainder of our vacation knowing our pets were in such excellent hands! She communicated very well and even communicated more to ease our anxiety. Kennedy is a rockstar and took initiative on asking if I needed any care of stuff I didn’t mention in my notes or a drop in before we made it home! Words will never be enough to praise her great work ethic. She truly cares about your pets like her own. Thank you for absolutely everything you did to help us Kennedy!”

“Excellent sitter & very kind. Went above & beyond for my pup”
Sara S.
“If you're looking for someone to care for your dog, there is no better option than Sara! On top of being a dog-lover through and through, she is absolutely fantastic at incorporating training into her caretaking time. She has studied hours of dog training courses, as well as put it into practice in real life. Sara is adamant about providing appropriate amounts of exercise and entertainment, allowing the dog to freely choose the activity and supplying the toys/tools/physical energy required to support them as they play. In addition to these dog-specific attributes, Sara is a very attentive and observant person in general. Whether in the car, walking on the street, or running around inside the house, Sara will be paying close attention to the dog and will quickly step in as soon as any problem arises. Loving, intelligent, and adept, Sara will calm the fears of anyone hesitant to leave their dog to a stranger--you can rest easily knowing that she will provide the absolute best care while you're away!”
