Dawn is an excellent pet- and house-sitter. She followed all my instructions (which were very detailed!), spent loads of time paying attention to my 3 pets, and left the house in great condition. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to others (:

Star and Jack were amazing caretakers of our dog pack of 3 while we were away for an extended vacation. We were nervous because our senior girl needs some patient care and regular meds. We didn’t need to worry. We came home to some happy relaxed pups and a clean house. Will use Star again when needed and highly recommend her for any dog care or house sitting needs!

Star has been a phenomenal and attentive care giver to our pack of 3. Especially with our senior girl who needs some regular meds every day and some extra attention to breaks. Knowing she’s there to take care of them has been a real relief since this is the longest we’ve been away from them in many years. We know they’re being treated with the best care

Star did an excellent job caring for our three dogs and house once again. The dogs adore her and were very happy to see her again. Our house and was clean when we got back and everything was well taken care of. The dogs seemed relaxed like they'd had enough time outside and had plenty of attention. I definitely recommend Star!

Star was great. She was loving with our dogs, communicative, able to come meet us before booking even though it was a last minute request just a week before we went out of town, flexible around start and end times, and left our home in great condition. Would definitely recommend her and would use her again in the future.

Star made us feel at ease leaving Archie at home for the longest time we have been apart since he has been with us. Because she stayed in our home, Archie benefitted from being in his familiar surroundings and we had bonus house sitting services as well. Star was a great communicator and made sure to understand Archie's routines and preferences before our trip. We are so grateful for the care Star (and partner, Jack) provided and would recommend them highly.
