Once again, awesome care! No complaints! I appreciate Bob! He agreed to bring Pearl to the groomer in my absence. He's the best!

Bob was exceptional with communication from start to finish! He had all the right questions to ask to make things go as smoothly as possible and have the best care for Pearl. She is intimidated when she first meets men but he knew just what to do and knew to ask the right questions to ask in order for me to convey this to him. They left the place cleaner than they found it and I appreciated that! I heard positive comments from neighbors about how well she was taken care of so I will definitely be calling on Bob again.

Bob was a fantastic housesitter / dogsitter for our extremely dependent dog, Lester. Lester can't be left alone for more than a few minutes and Bob kept Lester by his side for ten days straight. Lester developed such a strong bond with Bob in that short time it almost made me jealous. Bob communicated actively with daily photos and updates and he took amazing care of the house, even doing some yard maintenance for fun. We could not be happier with Bob's help, we would use him again without hesitation, and we recommend him highly for even the most challenging dogs. He is a natural.

Bob is a true animal lover. My dog tends to be timid and concerned about new people but he walked right up to Bob on their first meeting. Bob took care of my dog, Cooper and cat, Heather for eight days and did an outstanding job. He sent me photos of Cooper and Heather everyday which I dearly appreciated. They had a great time! And, he left my house spotless. I highly recommend Bob for your house sitting needs or to walk your dogs. He is great!
