1. Lindsey L.
“Lindsey was great, and Teddi loved her. She sent the best pictures of our girl, and gave her the right amount of play, and snuggles. We will most definitely use her again in the future!”
2. Jill M.
“Jill did a great job watching my dog Pepe while I was on vacation. I had her do drop-in visits. She communicates to you and sends you texts msgs & pictures to you everyday so you know how your dog is doing. I gave her a bit of a challenge because Pepe is blind. Plus he was on the tail end of his medication. Jill made sure he took all of medication. When I got back, Pepe was very happy and wagging his tail! He was even still looking for her! I recommend Jill. Thank you Jill! 😊🐶🐾 7/19/24”
