“Carol (Schejn’s mom) was great! Very flexible, easy going and kind. And even cooked some chicken for Sassy (my dog) because she’s anxious and may not eat when I leave her. Thanks Carol! And there’s lots of room for dogs to run.”
“Margaret took care of our 2 dogs, she was great, our one has some anxiety but Margaret made her feel right at home. Her 2 pups were a great play date for ours. Will be my go to when we visit Rehobath!”
“Words can not even describe how amazing Jill has been when watching our Nella. We came to Ocean City on vacation and quickly realized that Nella was a little stressed with all the people around and we didn’t feel right leaving her alone when we went out. We soon found Jill who put our minds at ease and responded to our request almost instantly. She has been extremely accommodating with our schedule and had truly saved our vacation. We were able to enjoy ourselves knowing Nella was not only having a blast but was in great hands. We were sent photos and videos of Nella through out the day which really makes a difference. At the end of the day, she would send Nella home with little treats and even toys that she knew Nella enjoyed. It is clearly evident that Jill is not only great at what she does but truly has a love for animals. Again, words can not describe how great it has been to work with Jill. The only bad thing I can think of is that Jill won’t be around when we get back home! Thank you Jill for truly being great and taking such good care of Nella.”

“Martha was the best sitter for my dog that I could want. She let me and my dog, Parker, preview her place to see if we were compatible. She sent updates and pics showing how Parker was doing, and kept in touch. Parker came back calm and refreshed. A great experience I’d highly recommend.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Michele! She has given me my life back! I have two little rescues that are highly reactive and do not like anyone, so consequently I have been unable to leave them. After talking with Michele and getting a sense of her experience and patience with rescue.dogs such as mine I decided to give her a try...and it went beautifully! My dogs had a great time with her and loved her...and cannot wait to go back again! Michele is truly not just very much a professional but is gifted with animals as well.”
“Samantha is absolutely wonderful!!! She watched our dog at her home for an entire day and he was able to play in her nicely fenced yard.
