“Tracy takes great care of our pup when we need help with overnight sitting, walks or visiting in our home when were at work. Our dog is always excited to see her and is so tired after the walks she takes him on! She is so caring and loving with our dog - I won't leave him with anyone other than Tracy!”


12. Andrew B.
“I have known Andrew my entire life - we grew up next door to each other and he has always been an avid pet lover. I owe my passion for animals and caring for them entirely to him and the love that he shows to both humans and pets alike. As a child I was terrified of dogs and once his parents got him his own Springer Spaniel named Maverick to care for and train he was kind and patient enough to work with both myself and my inherent fear of dogs as well his newly trained puppy for us to slowly get acclimated with one another and overcome my fear; it didn’t take long working with him and Maverick for my fear to transform into love and passion for dogs. I have been a life long dog owner since - I owe a lot of pup snuggles and love to him and he will always be a life long friend because of this.”


13. Kelsey B.

“Kelsey was great! She was caring and kind and kept Willie busy. She sent me lot of pictures to let me know how he was doing.”

15. Cassandra Y.
“Cassandra is amazing with my beagle, Igor! I have had the privilege to see her interact with my dogs for the past 14+ years and they all love her. It is very comforting to know my dog is in competent hands with her, having veterinary background and two dogs herself. Could not ask for better!”
