Nancy was great with our dachshund! She stayed at our house for a long weekend up to the 4th of July and our boy was well taken care of. We rarely leave out but with anyone but family, i am relieved to find a kind and loving person to take care of him outside of that!! She also took care of my moms dog without hesitation!! We will for sure ask her to watch him in the future!!

Highly recommend!! Andrea has stayed are our house two times for long weekends and watched our 14 year old Pitbull who can't go to dog parks or really be around other dogs. She gave him his medication which is about 8 pills and tried different things to get him to eat. She stayed in constant contact with me and left our house spotless. We already scheduled her for another weekend in August.

Shannon took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away. She sent daily pictures of them and the things she did with them. It was reassuring knowing that she took care of them in our house where they were comfortable. Would most certainly booker Shannon again as she was reliable, friendly, accommodating and professional.

Megan stayed at my house with my cat while I was out of town and she was absolutely amazing! I have a senior cat that required eye drops and Megan gave them to her when I wasn’t able to. She also sent videos and pictures of my cat while I was gone and my house was immaculate when I got back. Megan is so nice, responsible, and trusting. I will absolutely try and rebook her, and highly recommend her for your fur babies!!

Allison house say and stayed with our boy, Lenny. We returned home and our house was tidy, but more importantly the dog was happy. There was an issue with a neighborhood dog the first night we were gone and I was so grateful for Allison’s communication and professionalism as she resolved the issue. I recommend her for your dog and house sitting needs. We’ll hire her again for sure!
