Tyrone took care of my husky Jackie for a full week, and I honestly couldnât have asked for a better sitter. Jackie is energetic, stubborn, and very opinionated (classic husky đ), so sheâs not always the easiest guest â but Tyrone handled her perfectly. He kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which really helped me relax while I was away. I could clearly see she was comfortable, exercised, and mentally engaged the whole time. When I picked her up, she was happy, calm, and clearly bonded with him â which says everything about the environment he provides. It genuinely felt like she stayed with someone who understands dogs, not just watches them. Highly recommend Tyrone, especially if you have an active or high-maintenance dog. Iâll definitely book with him again.
Samantha was absolutely wonderful taking care of Teddy. Teddy had lots of fun playing with Samantha, meeting her friends and taking very long walks with her! Samantha was so patient with Teddy when he was first nervous. She sent me consistent updates on Teddy & each time, it looked like he was having a blast. In fact, after she took care of Teddy, Teddy & I ran into her on a walk and he was soooo excited to see her again. Definitely recommend Samantha - she was kind, responsive, and made Teddy feel right at home in her place.
Antonio was fantastic! I deeply appreciate his care for Bosco sharing his home. Bosco loved his stay and made friends instantly with Ruby and Antonio. Itâs great to feel confident about your pets care. Antonio was over the top with communicating to facilitate the stay ,drop off,and pick up. I will definitely choose him for more stays!
Poppy had a wonderful time with Jennifer and Ken! Communication was great, and they made pick up/drop off very easy and convenient. I loved all the pictures and updates from them, and Poppy looked comfy and content the whole time. She will definite be staying with them again!
