“Hey, Leah took good care of my coco like her own pet. Received pictures and sometimes videos everyday. I would keep coco with her in future and also recommend her to my friends for sure.”
2. Jen O.
“Jen is selfless and nurturing while being one of the most responsible animal caregivers that I have ever known. I have never known anyone to go to the lengths that she has for the animals in her life. She has inspired me and supported me as I care for a terminally ill pet and I am eternally grateful to have her as an example of the kind of pet-parent I want to be.”
3. Harper P.
“I can't say enough good things about Harper. She took exceptional care of my dog, Wilson, and I could tell he was in great hands. Wilson seemed happy and content throughout my time away, which speaks volumes about the care he received. I also appreciated the daily updates and pictures that Harper sent, keeping me informed about Wilson's activities and well-being. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was so well taken care of. Thank you so much for your help, Harper!”
4. Muriel B.
“Muriel is the best! Our dog, River, loves her and always rushes to her door when getting dropped off for boarding. We’re grateful to have found a friendly and reliable pet sitter for River! Thanks again, Muriel! 🙂”
5. Tracey D.
“Tracey was an excellent host for 1-day boarding with my dog! She went above and beyond, even noticing certain behaviors and patterns with my dog that I did not initially recognize. When I mentioned how I was training my dog to mitigate resource guarding treats, she recommended a different approach which was very helpful! She provided lots of pictures during his stay which was great, and followed his schedule perfectly. Her condo may not have been a perfect fit for my dog who was not used to the unfamiliar outside noises that come with living in a complex but she still made it work. I would definitely recommend her to any fur parents who stumble across her profile.”
