Amy was amazing! Great with communication, was very flexible with scheduling and gave my dog Luke an awesome staycation with lots of attention and care. She sent lots of great pictures so I was never worried about him even though this was his first time staying with Amy and Chewie, he looked very comfortable and happy! We’ll definitely be booking a stay with Amy and Chewie again, great experience!

Amy is amazing with our Mia. She provides a calm home and my aussie doodle adores her!

She sent cute photoshopped pics of our dog and took good care of her. Gave us good updates.

Amy was great! She took both our dogs over the holidays. One is definitely more shy - and yet Amy got some smiles and happy looks from her as well!

Although Amy advertised as “taking 1 client at a time”, the morning of the sit, she informed me the there would be multiple dogs but she “had a plan” to keep them in separate parts of the house when she left all dogs alone. There was little time to make alternative plans, so I had to trust her as a sitter. When I dropped Charlie off, she met me In driveway so I had no way to assess house situation. I observed her take anxious Charlie and stop to speak casually to a neighbor whose dog was barking aggressively at Charlie. Instead of removing terrified Charlie from situation, or placing her body in between the two dogs, She put her body halfway inside her fence while leaving tiny Charlie on his leash In Front of her, facing aggressively barking dog and told Charlie to calm down. Then she asked her neighbor to borrow a stick of butter. Then she closed fence and I believe followed her neighbor towards their house before I lost sight of them. I should have grabbed my dog and ran. But I was running late and did not trust my instinct. I am not sure how or if she watched or separated Charlie from multiple new dogs in Her small apartment. She did not share this information. I do know he didn’t trust her enough to take his leash off and she informed me he “tried to bite” her when she tried. He does not have a history of biting people, but he was clearly not made to feel comfortable from the plethora of commotion around him on Thanksgiving day with both extra people and extra dogs . Although Amy said she had a quiet home with just her and her son sometime helping with the cleanup , When I came to pick Charlie up a complete stranger (woman) was holding his leash and he was trying to escape from them with all his might. It was heartbreaking to experience. But Amy did look very nice and dressed up for wherever she was heading, when she walked out. I do take partial responsibility, but I also should not have been put in This position last minute by sitter. It was supposed to be a quiet house without extra guests handling him nor additional dogs! he had never met. I was okay with her dog Chewie, but other dogs should not have been there, she clearly was not able to manage the situation. I will not be using Amy’s services again. They were not as advertised. This is not a good place for anxious dogs.

We can't thank Amy enough for watching our dog on a last minute request. She had a good space, was very kind and sent updates of our dog regularly! Thank you so much Amy!
