Shakira was a welcoming host especially when I needed care for my dog in a short notice. She was communicative during the entire stay and included photo updates. I can tell my dog adjusted well so I trust her as an excellent pet sitter. I will book again!

My pet is completely potty trained. However the sitter complained that my pet peed in the home. My pet does everything outside. The sitter has another male dog, and the sitter suggested that he may have peed as for area domination. My pet pees when taken out and if he was not he will go and stand at the doors. I did ask the sitter to take him out more often on the first day. I don’t know how often he was taken out. The sitter complained on the first day he peed in the home, and sitter demanded to pay for compensation. I did send some amount just that if my pet did pee inside then to satisfy her demand. I had my pet with other sitters and no body complained. I think the sitter gave him food on time. Thanks to the sitter for taking care of my pet

Awesome Sitter!!! So happy we we’re able to find her, and last minute at that! So gentle with our fur baby and kept her spoiled while we were away. She also kept us updated with pics and check ins. Our baby girl has a new friend too! We will use her again definitely!
