“Vanessa was the best sitter we have had from Rover. She was caring and attentive to our dogs and took great care of our home. Vanessa sent tons of photos and videos. It gives us great piece of mind for future travel plans. Thanks Vanessa”


2. Catherine Z.

“We cannot say kinder things about Catherine, she truly is the dog fairy godmother! We are so happy to have someone locally to watch our two furbabies. She kept our girls safe and happy while we were away and we could not ask for anything more.”


3. Maria Gabriela P.

“First time ever leaving my dog alone and I’m so happy with how this all turned out and she is an amazing dot sitter. Would definitely use her again if I left my dog alone.”


4. Marianne L.
“Marianne has taken care of my dog on several occasions. She treats my family's pets as they are her own. We have had small dogs like chihuahuas and dachshunds but she's also cared for the cat and bearded dragon. I know Marianne has a young black lab of her own whom she takes on long daily walks. She's mindful of how the weather may affect the dogs so she always has water and towels available when she goes on the long walks. She's very friendly with people she meets and is aware of keeping the pet safe from strangers. My dog had cancer and has since passed away but Marianne was there to help care for Lucy in her final days. I would recommend Marianne to care for your pets as she is very compassionate.”

I will definitely recommend Charlene for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
