3. Natha M.
“I had to go out of town for a funeral. I have never left my dogs, Jack and Jasmine, with anyone outside of family. I was nervous at first but after meeting with Natha and discussing both dogs anxiety I felt much better. Natha took great care of my pups and provided daily updates and pictures. This helped relieve my mind and I will definitely book with her again. Thank you for taking excellent care of Jack and Jasmine!”
4. Cara & Dan W.
“Cara and Dan were wonderful with Murphy! They handled his quirks and kept us up to date with photos. Murphy can be an anxious dog, but he came home happy! We love that they only accept 1 booking at a time and allow the dogs to feel at home with them. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cara & Dan to anyone looking for a sitter.”
5. Catherine F.
“Cate and her family truly treated our baby girl Sookie like family! Sookie gets nervous when she goes to other places where they have many dogs so it was nice that Cate only took one family's dog(s) at a time. At the meet and greet Cate, her husband, and two sons were all there and Sookie instantly warmed up to all of them and the boys took Sookie to play in the backyard while Cate and Rich talked to us about their long history of dog experience and were extremely professional learning about Sookie's likes/dislikes/habits/etc. During Sookie's stay we received photos and updates and they even dressed her up for Halloween! When we came to pick her up she was so relaxed and content which was amazing because my husband and I were on a business trip and exhausted. (side note: it takes a lot of exercise to tire my Sookie-monster out so they definitely gave her plenty of walks and playtime!!) I would recommend Cate to literally anyone that has a dog! :)”
6. Kiera D.
“Kiera took such wonderful care of my senior guy! I dropped him off at her home while I moved into my new place and I had such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Kiera sent me pics and videos of Chico playing and out on walks with her sweet senior girl! I will definitely bring Chico back to Kiera’s in the future.”
