Octavia was wonderful taking care of Buddy and the house. She kept us up to date and sent lots of pics of our little guy. Highly recommend!

We cannot say enough good things about Octavia! She took incredible care of our two dogs, Luna and Coco, and treated them like they were her own. From the moment we met Octavia it was clear how kind, attentive, and genuinely loving she is with animals. We received regular updates, photos, and check-ins, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Luna and Coco were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned—always the best sign. Octavia paid close attention to their routines, personalities, and little quirks, and made sure they got plenty of love, and attention. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we trust completely with our dogs. Reliable, communicative, and truly wonderful—we would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely be using her again.
