“We have used Sheronda two times within the last couple of months. We have nothing but praise for her and her family as well as the care she has given to our Elly. She was also understanding when we had a medical emergency on our most recent trip. We love how many updates and pictures we get. You won't get a better dog sitter anywhere. We look forward to using her service again.”
“I had an amazing experience with Caitlin and her family. From the moment we met, it was clear how caring, responsible, and attentive they were with my dog. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. You can tell they genuinely love animals and treat them like family. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet”
