“Eric is an excellent Dog Sitter! Within minutes he had befriended our oldest cranky Shorkey at the Meet and Greet. When he arrived to sit with our dogs they were actually excited to see him. Eric is a Dog Whisperer and our dogs like him a lot. We really appreciate Eric and will gladly use him again! Thanks for the great communication and pics of our dogs while we were out for the day!”

7. Briana B.
“Briana will be the sunshine in both you and your pets life!! Briana cared for our 2 year old male F1B Goldendoodle named Teddy during a family emergency for over 3 weeks! We had to extend Teddy’s stay and Briana was so accommodating and generous. She quickly accepted Teddy and made sure he was comfortable during the personalized travel she offers. She was beyond friendly, very responsive throughout the process, and was very thorough in her screening criteria and care plan questionnaire. This made me feel that Teddy would be safe in her care. This meant the world to me. I would recommend Briana to those in need of someone reliable and who will love your pet as much as you do!”
