Lyra is awesome with our two big crazy dogs. They require a ton of extra work and a great deal of knowledge and patience. She does a ton of training with them, and sends lots of pictures and updates. We always come back to them tired and happy, and we look forward to booking with her again!

We went with Lyra again for an extended weekend trip and honestly we couldn’t be happier. She communicates consistently and loves our dogs. Our home is always left in tip top condition and our girls are tired. She especially takes a lot of time and has so much patience for our dog with medical issues and leash reactivity. I will forever sing her praises from the rooftops. We adore you Lyra!!

Lyra was excellent with our girl Bella. Bella did so well with her and the photos and videos that were sent for the entire week were great and appreciated! Thank you.....Lyra!!!! I was worried to leave Bella for the entire week, but Lyra put my mind at ease. (I think she misses Lyra with all the play time she got)

Lyra is a wonderful dog sitter. She is great with communication and making sure you have peace of mind when away. My pup has a few quirks but is a sweet girl and she absolutely adores Lyra. I would highly recommend Lyra to take care of your fur baby.
