“Courtney did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Smores, while we were away in Austin. She was incredibly accommodating and took the appointment on short notice, which we truly appreciated. Courtney even came over the night before to meet Smores, which gave us peace of mind. Her communication throughout was excellent, and she came over twice to let Smores out as planned. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely call on her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

19. Laura B.
“Laura was amazing! We had her drop by a few times a day while we were away for a weekend trip. She provided us very detailed updates and took excellent care of our dogs. We had a meet and greet meeting to start and the dogs immediately loved her. She’s obviously very knowledgeable and skilled at this as well as thoughtful. We forgot a cold front was coming into town and she even offered to drop our facets for us, saving us from potential frozen pipes. I highly recommend her!!”
