“Justin was great, our cockapoo took a bit to warm up but once he did all was well. Justin was patient, kind and caring. He took care of our two dogs and our cat while we were away for the 4th of July weekend. It was our first time using a pet sitter that stayed at our house and I admit I was really nervous about someone else being at our house when we were not there, but, he treated our babies like thet were his own, he was very respectful and clean, no issues whatsoever our babies seemed happy when we got home. We would use Justin again in the future without hesitation.”
17. Shea P.

We will definitely be booking her again! Thank you Shea!!”
