Arleen was great! She was sweet, kind and communicative, sending many pics during the weekend. This was the first time booking with Arleen. My Doodle and Chihuahua seemed happy when I picked them up and they have gone back into their normal routine with no issues today. It was five star experience all around.

Horatio loves it at Arleen’s house. She sends us the best photos of H living his best life, and he comes home healthy and happy.

Arleen is a wonderful and caring sitter. She sent photos of Charlie and Charlie was clearly a happy girl. Arleen was always responsive to all communication and was very flexible on timing. I highly recommend Arleen.

Horatio loves his time with Arleen and Guinness. He has so much fun over there and is really well taken care of. We never worry when we leave him with her.

Schedule

I work outside my home during the week with flexibility in my schedule. I am home in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I have a doggy door and a fully fenced backyard, so dogs can go in and out as needed. My adult son lives with me and is home during the day. He is also a dog lover.
