This was our third time booking with Connor and each time has overly exceeded our expectations! We have an almost 2 year old rescue Yorkie who is extremely reactive to other dogs and still learning manners, so finding a sitter who doesn’t already own a dog or take multiple animals at once is super important to us, and Connor is just absolutely phenomenal with him. He sends the best photos multiple times a day so you know your pup is always cared for and having nonstop adventures daily. If you’re looking for a dog sitter who is dedicated to his craft, attentive to your specific dogs needs, and an animal lover, book with Connor. You absolutely won’t regret it!!

We love Connor! It was as if JJ had a vacation himself with Connor 😊. The photos Connor sent (300+ over two weeks) could have been submitted to an ad agency they were so cute. JJ looked so happy and at home with Connor. JJ can be reactive to some strangers and dogs, and Connor knew exactly how to handle this. Excellent communication, very professional; I will absolutely use Connor again and recommend him wholeheartedly.

Connor was the perfect fit for our high-strung Dachshund/Beagle mix, Jeffrey. From the moment they met, Jeffrey took an instant liking to Connor's calm demeanor. I joked that he was the "dog whisperer" because Jeffrey can definitely be a challenge! After Jeffrey's stay, Connor even shared some tips to help us manage his reactivity, and I'm happy to say they're working. The only downside is that Connor gets booked far in advance, which speaks to how great he is. We'll definitely be planning ahead so we can use his services again!
