Easily managed our large heavy puller on a walk. Reacted well and without fear or uncertainty when there was an altercation at the door between our two dogs. Very pleased.

Lavina & Herbert S. took good care of both my dogs. I appreciated the daily updates regarding them both. I was a bit concerned about having so much left over but I attribute that to them being a new place and being a little timid. Overall I would book again with Lavina & Herbert S.

Lavina did a wonderful job taking care of my 5 cats! I appreciate the care she gave while I was away providing them clean bowls of dry and wet food and boxes. They tend to be skittish with new folks and she was able to snap some pics of them looking comfy and fed. This was my first time booking with her and I will be doing so again. Thank you Lavina & Herbert!

This was Meechie and I first time with a sitter so I was a little hesitant. Lavina is definitely awesome! Her communication is great, she kept me updated the whole time I was away along with pictures. She was professional the whole time. The entire experience is a 10/10!!!! Highly recommend!!!

Information Lavina & Herbert S. would like to know about your pet

I would think it’s very helpful to know if the pet has any special needs, elderly, takes medication, and/or not potty trained. That way I’ll know exactly how to care for the pets properly.

A typical day

Stimulation for the pets are very important, especially if the breed of the pets are known to be very energetic so I make sure to really enjoy nature with them, playing tons of games like catch/frisbee and going for walks.
