We can't thank you enough for not only the stellar care for Phoebe but also for helping us out when we had our last minute travel problems. We rest easy knowing that you are so responsible and take such tremendous care of our little dachshund. Thanks again for all your help!!

Did not work out for us. Writing this so no one else goes through what we did. I contacted Amber looking for a sitter for our dog while we were in Mexico for our destination wedding. He does not do well being caged in a kennel environment so I was looking for a new option for this period of 9 days. Amber had great reviews and I was very optimistic that this home environment would be a better option for my baby. He is a lover and just likes to be where the people are. We did a daycare day initially followed by an overnight closer to to ensure compatibility. Once in Mexico it appears that my dog was not on his best behavior. The longer we were gone the worse she said he was. She first messaged me asking how we dealt with behaviors such as digging, he does not dig in our yard so I did not have an answer. It culminated with multiple messages ON MY WEDDING DAY saying how bad he was being. Let me pause here to say thank f*ck I did not have my phone on me all day because this would have ruined my wedding day. Instead it just ruined my wedding night, sitting there helpless and sick to my stomach, thousands of miles away. Her issues: -He ate 6 raw chicken breasts off the counter. I can only speculate here as he doesn’t do this at home but what am I supposed to do about this after the fact, on my wedding day, in Mexico? -Her sister and 18 month old nephew were visiting. My dog stole food from the baby and kept pushing him down and licking him. She tried to separate them with a baby gate which my dog apparently broke. I have several issues here. 1. We do not have kids yet and so my dog is not very familiar with them. He can be overly energetic and likes to bark at them which seems scary. I have this detailed in my dog’s profile and specifically chose Amber because she does not have any kids. 2. I was uncomfortable to hear that she had arranged to have the baby visit while watching my dog since I had the boarding booked months in advance, but by the time I found out we were in Mexico and it was too late. I feel that any issues they had were 100% her fault for having the baby over when the dog’s profile is clear about children. 3. Stealing food from the baby? Yeah that seems obvious. We ended up having our neighbors (pure saints) pick him up 2 days early because it was too stressful for her. Our neighbors had no concerns with his behavior while he was with them. I do not doubt that he was misbehaving however I feel that she, with all of her experience and courses, should have been able to handle it. Instead it was like each issue was a huge deal, making me wonder if she is best suited for small dogs who can’t reach the counter or knock over babies? Mine is 60lb medium size. If you have a medium size and up dog that might not be on its best behavior learn from us and choose another sitter.
