We had a good experience overall. We met for a Meet & Greet beforehand, and everything went smoothly. It was over the New Year period, and I appreciated that Sarah said she would be home, which helped avoid extra stress for our dog. Sarah has a secure, fully enclosed backyard, which was convenient so the dog could go outside anytime, even in rainy weather. There were no issues. Thank you for taking care of our little munchkin.

We had a last minute cancellation for our chi pup and Sarah welcomed us, giving immediate relief and offloaded the stress we were left with. We truly appreciated that kind gesture. Sarah provided updates and photos and gave our little bub a lot of love and attention while we were away for 5 days. We are looking forward to seeing if we can set up some doggy daycare days during the week while we are at work. We are very happy with the care she provided and loved knowing our chi and her chi got along so well!

This sitter is not a good fit for those who are looking for close supervision of their dogs.
