8. Jocelyn T.
“Jocelyn took great care of my pups while we were out of town. It was our first time boarding our dogs with a sitter and I'm so glad Jocelyn made our experience smooth and easy. She constantly kept us updated with pictures from their walks, feeding time, playtime, and naps. One of our dogs takes medicine twice a day for his heart murmur and she was really great at letting us know it had been done. I never once felt a need for concern or worried about them while we were on our trip. I really enjoyed her services and will definitely book with her in the future. Thank you!”

“Ewere was great! From the get go, she was very accommodating on drop off and pick up. She sent a couple of photos a day, some with funny commentary. Our baby is a little old crotchity Jack Russell and he seemed to get along with her dog just fine. My pup came home happy and healthy. I would definitely use Ewere again :)”
11. Yessica A.
“Yessica provided exceptional care for my anxious dog, Blu, during his 3.5-day stay. From the moment I dropped him off, her attention to detail, communication, and genuine love for dogs was evident. As a nervous pet parent, I was worried about leaving Blu, but Yessica quickly put my mind at ease. She kept me updated with regular photos and messages, giving me peace of mind while I was away. Blu returned to me happy and well-cared for, clearly having formed a special bond with Yessica. Her clean and safe home environment, combined with her dedication to Blu's well-being, made my experience truly outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Yessica to anyone seeking a loving and reliable dog sitter. I will definitely entrust Blu to her care again in the future. Thank you, Yessica, for going above and beyond!”

I've already rebooked with her and recommended her to a family member of mine. Thank you again for taking such great care of my fur baby.”

Michael is attentive and kind and we will be sure to work with him again in the future.”
