“Sam is the BEST! She watched our 3 dogs while we were on vacation for 10 days. She’s a natural with animals, they all immediately loved her. She was so calm and confident that she would be fine with the 3 of them and she was. She kept in touch with us while we were away, sent photos and made us feel so comfortable. Upon return home the house was neat and clean, and all of the dogs were clearly loved and spoiled while we were away. We quickly booked her for our next trip!”

Sammy, my dog, would lie by the sliding glass door in the morning waiting for him and jump for joy as soon as Felix arrived. Felix also paid attention to Sugar, my cat, when he was here. I highly recommend him and would have no hesitation to have him house sit for me should the need arise.”

“We are so grateful for Abby! She has a very flexible schedule and is able to walk Sadie when we need. She is very communicative and lets us know when she is on the way and leaving with any other updates from the walk. The first week we booked her, Sadie wasn’t feeling well and took good care of her and kept us updated on how she was doing! It made us feel much better about leaving her at home. Not to mention Abby is great with Sadie! We will definitely book walks with her again! Thank you Abby!”
