I was traveling to Long Island and needed a sitter to attend a wedding because I could not leave my dogs unattended in the hotel room. Karen was amazing! I booked her several months out. She was incredibly responsive and responsible. She initiated check ins as we got closer to the date. She really put my mind at ease that my dogs were in good hands. I could not say enough good things about her. My only complaint is I wish she lived closer to me!

I'll need to know if your pet requires any medication. Do they have allergies or food restrictions? Do they have any quirks specific to them? Do they become fearful in any specific situation? What do they dislike? But most importantly what do your pets love!
