“Silvy felt right at home with Nicole and her family. We felt very comfortable leaving her in her care. She updated us and was quick with communication. Wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Thanks again, Nicole !”
“It was our first time using a dog sitter, so we were naturally a little nervous about finding the right person. From our very first message and setting up the meet-and-greet through to picking up our dog, Jade, Elyssa was friendly, kind, and quick to respond. She made us feel completely comfortable leaving Jade in her care. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. We really appreciated the communication and updates, and Jade came home happy and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Elyssa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Kara was wonderful with my pup Finn. She sent daily updates and videos. I was not aware she also did pet daycare but Finn loves other dogs so it was not an issue. He ran and played hard at Karas as he slept for hours once he got home. I will be booking again.”
“Clarissa was wonderful! I accidentally scheduled for the wrong weekend and we were on our way to her house, texted her and she took my baby anyway. She really helped me out. I would have had to cancel our weekend out of town. Missy ( my little shih tzu) had a wonderful time at Clarissa's. She was happy and well taken care of when I picked her up. I highly recommend Clarissa and her family to watch you loved one too!!”
