1. David "Drew" B.
“I was super stressed about going out of town until I met Drew. He took the time to get to know my pups and work with Bailey who has fear agression. The pups love him! He did an awesome job. I was able to go on vacation and relax knowing the pups were in good hands. He's dependable on time and professional. Highly recommend!”
2. Greg K.
“Greg was awesome! He worked patiently with our rescue dog who can get anxious with new people in the home and they soon became friends. He gave us updates throughout the weekend and left the house very tidy. Would book again!”
3. David M.
“David is absolutely the best! He took wonderful care of our pets (both a dog and cat). Our dog is a senior guy and David took special care to make sure he was comfortable.

She also helped me keep an eye on some medical things with my dog that started to pop up the day I had to fly out for a work trip and gave me detailed information about what was going on. I came home to a clean house and a happy dog and I would definitely hire her again to dogsit!”
