“Our Stella always comes home from Liz’s farm happy and tired from all the fun and is so excited to see her when she goes back for another stay. We are so happy to know our Aussie is well-loved at the farm every time :)”
“I love this girl! I was stressed out due to my regular sitter was ill and unable to care for my boys. I had a funeral to go to out of town and I was online frantically trying to find a sitter all morning. I heard back from Brette within a few minutes. Her home was just a couple of miles from the highway I was using and that was a big time saver. When I entered her home Baxter "christened" her house and Kiwi and one of her dogs did not hit it off. I told Brette I would leave quietly, but she took it in stride and said "dogs will be dogs". She had the mess cleaned up quickly and said she would keep her dog in a separate room. Brette sent me pictures during their stay to ease my mind that all was ok, and I was able to focus on the grieving family of a woman we all loved dearly. When I picked up my boys they were happy and healthy. I highly recommend Brette - she is a lover of all things furry and cuddly.”

“Brayden and his family took excellent care of my senior cat while I was out of town for a few days. Super communicative and made me feel so much better about leaving him with a sitter. Thanks again!”
“We left our 2 dogs with Diana, she was super easy to communicate with. Diana was responsive and sent us pictures daily of our pups. I think overall our puppies were happy not having to be crated, and had human contact to play and spend time with them. We were happy our puppies got the attention they needed.”
