Sage (Mariah) was a great dog sitter to our two pups for the weekend (including through an unexpected power outage), and left our house super neat and clean, which is always appreciated! Thank you very much for everything!

We could not have asked for better care for our large fur family! Watching four dogs and three cats is no small feat, but everything was handled flawlessly. Not only were the animals exceptionally well loved and cared for, but we returned to a house that was actually cleaner and better than when we left it. Mariah (Sage) went above and beyond, taking care of the fridge and leaving the entire home absolutely pristine. If you are looking for someone who is responsible, respectful, and truly excellent with pets, look no further. We will absolutely be booking again. Thank you so much for the incredible peace of mind!

Mariah (Sage) was the sweetest and most attentive person to watch my dogs. I have two very large dogs (over 130 pounds) and they adored her. I will be using her again very shortly! She gave me photos and was just overall a 11/10. I would recommend her over and over again.
