“Trusting someone new with a fur baby can be so stressful, but Meighan made it so easy for us. Our little rescue dog has a reputation for being an escape artist, especially when his "pack" is gone, so we didn't want someone to watch him who wasn't really watching him all the time. Meighan did such a great job, he never left her sight the whole time, and she even sent pictures to ease our concerns. He had a great time hanging out with her and we she will definitely be our first choice anytime we have to do something that's dog-incompatible! Three cheers for Meighan!”

“Jocelyn is amazing with animals from small to big, as well with the ones with the calmest personalities to the most hyper. I would trust my dog with her as I know that my baby would have the most wonderful time as well as being safe. She’ll always be first choice if I ever need to leave the care of my baby with someone else.”

“My wife and I have used Macy in the past to watch our dog, Spartacus, and she has done a great job. Spartacus is always happy to see her and he seems to be having a great time whenever we pick him up. As far as dog sitting, Macy has always made herself available, and I have no complaints about her thus far. We plan to keep using her in the future”
