Samantha took care of our dog in our house while we were away for more than two weeks. Worked out great! She sent us daily updates and pictures. Our pup was happy to see us when we returned but was relaxed about our reunion at the same time. Will book again!

Samantha stayed in our home for a long weekend with our totally blind dog who has very specific needs and instructions. She was very responsive, very thorough, and communicated frequently. We came home to a happy pup and the house just as we left it. We would definitely use Samantha again.

Samantha took very good care of Max for a full week. I was very worried about leaving with a stranger for that long but Sam's composure and obvious love for the furies gave good assurance. She seems to be very experienced with this. Merci beaucoup Samantha!
