16. Tori L.
“Excellent job!!! Tori went above and beyond to accommodate my irregular schedule. I usually telework. But, I needed to drive to Fort Meade just one day. At first, I tried to use the ones with lots of reviews. But one of them replied the next day. Tori took my pet from 10pm to 10pm. This was the first time my 4 month black lab retriever ever stayed with someone else. He missed me. But he had a good time. When we got home, he quickly went to sleep! So next time you need a dog sitter. Please give Tori a chance, you won’t regret it!!!”

They sent pictures and videos daily and it was like he was on a mini vacation, they have a really big backyard he was able to play and they set up a splash pad just for the dogs. He really enjoyed himself and I felt very comfortable leaving him with them!I will definitely be using them again!”
