Alana was amazing! She was very sweet and kind and kept me updated throughout Jazzy’s stay with pictures and messages. I truly appreciated how attentive and communicative she was. I would definitely recommend Alana to anyone looking for someone caring and dependable! ❤️🐾
I had a wonderful experience with this dog sitter! They were reliable, caring, and kept me updated throughout the entire stay. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I truly appreciate the attention, patience, and affection they showed him. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter, and I will definitely book with them again!
Alison took exceptional care of my puppy, Rocky. She was incredibly responsive, answered all of my questions promptly, and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos throughout his stay. I was initially a bit nervous about how Rocky would interact with a larger dog, as he has had negative experiences with bigger dogs in the past. However, Alison’s German Shepherd was one of the calmest, most well-behaved, and patient dogs I’ve ever met. Thanks to that gentle temperament, Rocky quickly felt safe and comfortable, and before long, they became best friends. I highly recommend Alison to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter. She also has a spacious, fenced-in yard where Rocky could run, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
We had a great experience with our dog sitter. He took excellent care of our dog, kept us updated, and made sure everything went smoothly while we were away. It was clear that he genuinely cared and was attentive to our dog’s needs. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pet was in good hands. We will definitely be using him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. 🐾
Sara and Jakob were great with Kingsley. They seem to really know animals and how to handle them as well. We needed someone who will provide just the right amount of play and rest for Kingsley as he is a Big Energetic puppy. Sara provided pictures and videos daily and let me know Kingsley's schedule everyday at "winter camp" with her own doggies lol. Two days before the end of our boarding period, I asked if they would give Kingsley a bath at extra cost and they happily said yes even though it was kind of last minute and Kingsley is a big dog! Kingsley came back very clean and happy. We felt good during our time away and was able to enjoy our trip knowing that Kingsley was being taken care of. We are definitely going to take Kingsley to Sara again the next time we are away! Thanks guys!
When I say Angel, I mean Angel. I was all the way across the Atlantic when the person I trusted to keep our fur-baby was not able to care for him properly. We were really contemplating returning home. Rover has held me before; but not like this. It was 4:30 a.m. in the morning when I DESPERATELY reached out to several providers. I don't know why but Taijah responded almost immediately. After a few text messages back and forth, she agreed to pick Mylo up from the house and board him. She picked him up by 8 the same morning, and when my flight came in late, she kept him for us. Her calm spirit, her professionalism, and her bond with Mylo, allowed us to enjoy the rest of our stay knowing he was in good hands. She sent photos, kept me updated and it almost made me jealous to see him so comfortable with her after just meeting her. I am SO grateful and so blessed to have found her at such a critical time. She allowed Mylo to snuggle with her and I believe that allowed him to recover. She will forever be my go to. I thank Rover so much for this service...but most of all I thank Taijah for taking such good care of our baby and coming through in a traumatic clutch.
Alejandra took phenomenal care of our puppy. She was so patient, gentle and spot on with her schedule and everything. I highly recommend her and will definitely consider her for our any future trips! Our pup came back very happy. And she also kept us posted with everything so we had a full peace of mind when we were away! Highly recommend her!!
