“Cameron has been an animal lover all his life, and has grown up with both cats and dogs. He has, and still does, care for them. He plays, cuddles, talks, feeds, waters, and cleans up after them. He also walks the dog. Taking care of them is not a chore for him. He truly cares about their wellbeing. His love for animals isn't only in his home. He has also worked for a doggie daycare. He would brag about the dogs he worked with and how much fun he would have. And, because of his long-time experiences, He knows when to be more sensitive to some dogs, vs more playful with others. He knows they all of their own personalities, and he is respectful of this.”
17. Chantal L.
“We hired Chantal to keep an eye on our girl while we were away for a couple days. We liked her immediately from the getting-to-know-you visit, and she did a fantastic job, providing frequent updates and giving our girl plenty of walks and cuddles. As a bonus, she even brought some packages in off our porch! We'll happily hire her at any time!”

20. Colleen J.
“Repeat customer of Colleen. Last time was house sitting but only gone 2 days and she could only do drop-ins. She came 3x a day while we were out of town and stayed for a while one day so the one crated dog could stay out longer. No doubt the dogs were well cared for and she checked in every visit sending pictures and notes.”
