Your pets will be safe and well cared for with John.”


19. Caitlin S.
“I have known Caitlin for the better part of a decade, and cannot imagine an individual more qualified to take care of an animal, moreover , your dog. She is one of those rare human beings who will care for a canine before she will take care of herself . She has everything you want in a dog sitter, and exhibits an integral discipline in which can be unmatched but only mimicked . She has experience in fostering , training , medicinal administration, and most importantly the ability to love unconditionally. Don’t pick the stranger down the street to care for your most loved companion . Pick Caitlin , pick a qualified dog loving professional.”


20. Claire R.
“Claire took such amazing care of my puppy, Moose while we were out of town! She always made sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime, which is so important for our little guy who has so much energy. Moose has some special dietary needs and she always double checked that it was okay for her to give him whatever treats she was planning to give him during our time away which was very appreciated. She asked a ton of questions about his routine to maintain as much normalcy for him as possible which made us feel super comfortable leaving him with her. She regularly sent me updates and photos, so I felt very in the loop while we were gone. I can’t recommend her enough!”
