John takes terrific care of Our Lennon. Gives him attention when Lennon, wants it. He takes him for walks outside on his leash to get the exercise and, make sure that he eats OK on schedule. He’s definitely a great animal care person.

John (She-on) did a fantastic job with our 3 furry kids. Lots of walks and extra attention. Handled their special diet and health concerns like a pro and kept us updated. We felt totally at ease and all 3 pets loved the personal attention. Would definitely recommend She-on to all my friends.

Xion was amazing! They went above and beyond in home sitting our dog over our Thanksgiving vacation. From near-daily text and photo updates, to even shoveling snow from our driveway and sidewalk, they really took care of everything and more. So grateful and would absolutely book again!
