Dicky was scheduled to watch my two dogs for one day and overnight. My 5-year old dachshund is anxious around strangers, but normally subsides once spending some time with them. I guess this was not the case with Dicky. We have never left them with a sitter before and I’m sure Dicky tried her best, but she left my dogs in the middle of the day without reaching out the whole day to state there was a problem. We had not heard from her from 9am until I reached out around 5pm and Dicky stated she left the dogs an hour earlier and was not planning to return. She had her reasons to leave, but if I never reached out would she have said anything? Again, I’m sure Dicky tried her best but she made an already stressful situation worse

Dicky was great, was available last minute to watch the dogs and even was available to meet the day before to get acquainted! Very grateful to have found this sitter so close and responsible and easy to work with!

Dicky was able to watch my dog on short notice which was extremely appreciated! She was a great house guest while taking care of my dog while I was away.

I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. Well play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood and explore parks in the area.
