“Cailah was fantastic. There was really nothing more we could have asked of her- she was professional, kind, responsible, punctual, energetic, and personable. She took care of our dog for 1 1/2 weeks while we were traveling by feeding, letting her out and walking her each morning. We got a written report along with pictures each day right after her visit. It was so reassuring for me to wake up each morning (due to the time change where we were) and see the report and pictures and know that not only was our dog okay she was happy! Thank you Cailah!!”

Nija H.
“I had a family emergency out of state and needed someone to sit with my furry family member, Beemer. I used Nija to walk him previously and she told me if I ever needed a sitter, let her know. I called her frantic and she was accommodating to my request! I gave her the option to stay at my apartment or take him to her home; she opted to take him to hers. Throughout the week I was away, Nija sent me random pictures and short videos of Beemer playing, resting and simply just having fun being away. She said at first he seemed anxious but after a few hours, he seemed more relaxed and played with her doggie. We have used Nija's services on a frequent basis and she is a trust worthy person with my precious little one!”

Gabbi was absolutely wonderful. My dog Sam is getting older, and walking him requires patience, and Gabbi more than met the requirements. She checked in every day while I was on vacation and made it clear how much she cared for Sam. I will be hiring her again for all future walks.
