“I have a senior pet with special dietary and med needs, and Savannah made sure he was taken care to the highest standard. We felt very comfortable leaving him in her care.”
“Samantha is amazing! Her updates are super thorough and sweet. She has a great sense of humor and very clear affection towards our babies! She went the extra mile in so many ways, like playing catch with the dog, walking him, and even spending extra time with him because she couldn’t bring herself to leave him behind yet. She even left a little card and some Polaroids of our dog with little doggie treats on the counter! Absolutely 12/10 recommend!”
“Audrey was so helpful with our fur babies!! Very thorough, kind and communicative. We’ve got elderly pets, so there’s feeding and medication specifications and she handled them so well and gave us wonderful updates. Highly recommend!!”
