“Hather had an amazing time with Kyle, who took the best care of our big old guy and was attentive to his needs. Thanks Kyle for making a home-away-from-home for our dog!”




2. Katie S.

“Katie was amazing! She kept us in the loop the whole time and had great communication. Even though our dog chewed the door frame a bit, Katie was very understanding and didn't blame our pup. She has 2 other dogs Wally and Daphne. She has a fenced in backyard. Our dog got along with them both. They are both older dogs and calm. Highly recommend Katie to anyone needing a sitter.”
