“Our girl Scout had the best time at summer camp (aka Yvette’s) lol. We went away on vacation and Scout stayed at Yvette’s for the week - We wouldn’t have wanted her to be anywhere else. Yvette & her husband welcome her into their home like she’s their own! We got tons of updates and pics of Scout on walks, playing in the lovely backyard, snuggled up on the bed, and getting treated with her fav treats -carrots :-) Yvette is the best and you will NOT regret hiring her to take care of your babies. ❤️🐾 thank you Yvette!!!”


2. William R.


“William is a blessing. He took very good care of Badger while I was traveling abroad. He made me feel very calm and sent pictures every day. Williams’s dog Whiskey is very nice and helped Badger fit right in. He is very considerate and gave updates every day of how Badger is doing.”


3. Shawn D.

“I have no negative review to offer. Shawn took excellent care of my pets, Bella and Oso. I know it wasn't easy with my new rescue, Oso, and his stomach issues, but Shawn showed great compassion, administered his medication, and was gentle and patient with Bella, who is a bit shy and nervous. Oso made new friends with his high energy, and I'm sure he kept Shawn busy. Thank you Shawn”

“This was the first time we ( since we got Ganix) were going on a long trip. As all parents can imagine it was a little stressful, but we knew Ganix enjoyed his time at Maureen’s and Maureen adored Ganix so we left him for 2 weeks! Maureen sent us so many pics every day and kept updating us on how Ganix was doing, what he was doing and made us feel like we were not that far. I am so grateful and can’t thank her enough for welcoming ganix into her home and taking care of him as her own little puppy 🥰”

“Carolina has taken care of my French poodle named Teddy. Teddy loves her, she has taken care of him at night and they take him out for walks and meals. When I pick him up he is always happy. She has been given him lots of love. I am super happy with her as well as her husband who is a veterinarian in his native country which makes me feel much more confident the teddy is on the right hands.”


15. Mary Jo K.

“Mary Jo was absolutely amazing with our new puppy Rue! She gave us a call the night before the visit to touch base on any of Rue’s needs. We were coming from out of town for a wedding and were looking for a sitter near the venue. Due to traffic, we were running late and Mary Jo was extremely flexible and accommodating and met us at the venue for the drop off. They say dogs can read energy and Rue was very quick to want to be with Mary Jo for the night LOL. She kept us updated with pictures throughout the evening and Rue seemed happy at pick up. We recommend Mary Jo and will definitely seek her services again if we are ever back in the area :)”
