“Mariah was communicated well while we were gone and was very patient with our puppy Bella. We could tell she was happy and relaxed in all of the photos despite it being her first time away from us. We arrived home to a clean and tidy home. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter and will be using her again in the future.”

“Toby and Tinker did well with Theresa staying with them for 2 night, including 2 1/2 days. Theresa communicated well. She did a couple extra jobs I asked her to do, and even took her linens off the bed and washed them before we got home. This was the very first time either dog had spent the night without one of us.
