Crystal was absolutely fantastic with my two rescue dogs who aren’t easy to deal with! Between my anxiety of leaving them with someone new and each of their quirks, Crystal was patient, responsive and caring during the entire process. Socks one of my rescues usually takes multiple times to acclimate to someone new but she took to Crystal right away. I use her services at least once a week when I have to go to Sedona for the day for work. The best part is I have no stress know she’s taking care of them, thank you Crystal!
Alexandria truly came through for me in a pinch, stepping up last minute with professionalism, grace, and genuine care. From the moment she arrived on time and asked all the right questions, I knew my dog was in good hands. Most importantly, my dog immediately connected with her — something you just can’t fake — and that trust put me at ease right away. Though she had a full plate, she even rearranged her schedule and enlisted her boyfriend to assist with walks, simply to help me out. She’s not only reliable and respectful of instructions, but she’s also someone who leads with heart — and both my dog and I felt that from day one.
Quianna saved the day! I got stuck on a trip and needed to book a dog sitter and my poor guy was home in his crate. She came right over, let him out and spent time with him until our other sitter could show up. Thank you so much. I will definitely use her again. She’s awesome.
