Pet care experience

Owned a dog growing up for 16 years and fostered dogs throughout college through Anicera. The dogs I fostered usually needed medical assistance each day such as treatment for Demodectic Mange and some had behavioral issues that I had to help them overcome before getting fostered.

Emily is AMAZING! My dog had the time of his life, so many adventures and spoiled with attention! Emily kept me updated with lots of photos and videos, such a great experience! 10/10 would recommend!

Emily is always wonderful with our little Toby. She responds very quickly and send us pictures with updates. We are glad we found her.

Emily was so kind! Before confirming the booking she asked if there was anything that she should know about my dog (I describe her as leash reactive on my profile) to see if that was something that she could accommodate. After some back and forth, we did a meet and greet before I left for 9 nights. 😭 I received daily updates with photos and prompt responses to any inquiries that I had when I was on my vacation. My flight home was delayed by about 2 hours and Emily was completely understanding when I went past my original pickup window estimate. She had already picked Pepper up and even offered to drop her off just to make my life easier. 10/10!

We would like to thank Emily again for caring after our little Toby. It was just one night but she did an amazing job once again. We are a repeat customer and Toby feels at home and happy :)
