Vanessa took great care of all our pets! She was easy to work with and communicated quickly. She sent us regular photos with updates while we were away. We highly recommend her and will be booking with her again!

Vanessa told fantastic care of our dogs when we were out of the country. She took FANTASTIC photos of them and sent daily updates so we felt very reassured they were in good hands while we were gone! AND our dogs put her through so much drama and she just let it roll off, no big deal! Vanessa is a saint!

Vanessa was an excellent communicater and left our apartment nice and clean! Our pets were happy and relaxed when we came home and she sent us plenty of updates and pictures while we were away. We will definitely ask her to house/pet sit for us in the future!

Vanessa took great care of our pets while we were away for the weekend! She sent updates and communicated well with us. We could relax knowing she was here taking such good care of our pets! We came home to a clean home and healthy, happy pets! Vanessa has taken care of our pets once before, we would love to book her again in the future!

Vanessa is amazing :) Our girl, Ladybug, was very well cared for during our week away! I felt confident she was in very good hands. Vanessa was on top of communication and sent me really great photos of our happy pup to keep us updated. We’ll invite her back as a sitter again for sure!

I would recommend Vanessa and Rehire again, to watch my puppy while i am away at work. She took him out to play/walk and got him tired for the night! 5/5

For boarding, if they have a history with not getting along with other dogs. I have 3 of my own so I want to make sure no fights break out. My dogs are used to other dogs in the house.
