Erik and family took great care of Copper. They sent pictures and updates and cared for him like he was a member of the family. I’ll definitely be rebooking with them the next time I need someone to watch Copper.

They were absolutely amazing with Heidi! She’s a senior pup, and even after she had a lot accidents in their home (I was so embarrassed 🤦🏽‍♀️), they didn’t hesitate to work with her. Instead of refusing to care for her, they came up with a great solution, and everything went smoothly for the rest of her stay. They even said they’d be happy to have her back! They are such a kind, understanding family, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.

This family was AMAZING!! The Mom kept in constant communication with me & sent me pics!❤️ The kids PLAYED with our puppy & kept him busy (in a GOOD way-lol!). It was really weird, but I could seriously tell our puppy was satisfied & happy when I picked him up! I LOVE how they were OK with a different feeding schedule & taking him outside to potty, often, cuz he IS a puppy. (They didn't think I was too picky-lol!) I knew he was safe, taken care of & well loved on! It was GREAT! I DEFINITELY will be using them again!

They did a wonderful job. Stella had a great time and I think she is actually missing them and wishes we go on vacation again.
