Amy watched my Pomeranian, Peaches, for a couple of days last week, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the start, she was an excellent communicator and brought such a calm, grounding energy—exactly what both I and my dog needed. She even came early the day I was leaving and gently soothed Peaches while I packed. Peaches didn’t even realize I was heading out! Amy is truly a dog whisperer and gave me complete peace of mind. She’s the kind of sitter every dog owner hopes to find.

Rachael spent the first few weeks increasing my dog’s comfort level with her and now my pup LOVES Rachael and gets excited for their daily walk! She’s the only other person that my dog trusts :)

She gave multiple updates throughout the day and sent me the best photos and videos. Thank you so much Valeria, you are a gem!!

She sent us updates and pictures, and even cleaned up and washed the guest room items and towels before we arrived home! Her kindness and generosity of spirit make her one of a kind!

Moose loved his night hanging with Ani! My plans were last minute, so I reached out to Ani only a few hours before needing her. She was quick to respond and very professional. She even came by before to meet Moose and learn some paticulars about him. She was very communicative and send updates often along with pictures. I felt at ease all night and loved the pictures of him. Definitely will be using Ani in the future!

Jeremy was extremely thoughtful and thorough in his care of our dogs. He kept in touch with us the entire time, and he let me know how everything was going. Upon our return, the dogs were happy and healthy, and our home was well taken care of. Jeremy is great!

Laura took care of our 5 year old yorkie for 8 nights while we were out of the country. This was the first time leaving Isla at home with someone who was not a family member. It gave me peace of mind having Laura encourage me to send her the notes I wrote up ahead of time so she could read up on Islas quirks and communication style. She was very respectful of my need to pass along information to assuage my anxiety. Laura was extremely conscientious regarding my requests of Islas routine and our home. She showered love on her while following her cues around exercise given the high temperatures. I could tell Isla was very happy in all the photos Laura sent. Being a Yorkie, Isla is a real lap dog who loves physical contact and I knew Laura was more than meeting her needs. Even with the time difference, our communication was smooth and consistent. As happy as Isla was to have us home, I can tell she’s missing Laura.
