Brenda is an exceptionally compassionate and caring lady. My three dogs had special needs. Two of them needed diapers. Brenda was so understanding. She even ended up hand feeding them when they refused to eat because they missed us. My dogs are rescue dogs and they have fear of abandonment, and Brenda completely understood and let them set the pace, choose their location in the home, and spend a lot of lovely time in the sunny garden. Thank you so much, Brenda!

After taking care of our Leo for 11 days while we traveled, I highly recommend Brenda and Alvin for dog sitting. They were very professional and responsive when it came to communication. You can tell they care about and love dogs and pampered Leo with play time, walks and cuddling. With daily photos and sometimes videos, we never felt worried that he wasn't happy. He truly enjoyed his stay. Thanks to both of you! We would certainly book again!

Brenda and Alvin were great. They have a large fenced yard for my puppy to play in. I really appreciated the daily updates with pictures. Bailey was well taken care of.

We absolutely loved how Brenda & Alvin treat Rambo. I know when he’s with them I don’t have to worry about him. They share how he’s doing & send pictures. We have them booked for September.
