Miranda came to meet myself and my dog about a week before she was scheduled to stay at my house. She was punctual and asked good questions. And right before my trip, it got extended 3 extra nights and she was available & willing to extend the stay. She frequently updated me and sent cute pics/videos....never had to worry if he was in good hands. I have already booked her for my next trip!

Andrea was wonderful! Hank and Gracie were well taken care of and they loved her. It was our first time having a sitter in our home and it was so nice to be able to leave our babies where they feel safe and comfortable. We would love to have her back again.

Jessica took great care of Lexi. She also went above what u expected of her by vacuuming dog hair up and washing bedding and putting clean sheets on my bed. Upon returning home after a long day in airports and not arriving until midnight; it was great not needing to change sheets. I will definitely call on Jessuca again when I need a pup sitter. She was great.

Ella did a great job looking after our Charlie for our week long vacation. Ella stayed evenings and overnight with him as he is a nervous dog. Ella also had him feeling comfortable and had him playing right away. Ella did a great job taking care our our property as well, cleaned up after themselves and made sure to keep us informed about Charlie the whole week. A+++ highly recommend!

I am definitely a helicopter parent when it comes to Pickles, but Javon was the best sitter ever. Can’t wait to have them back to hang out with our little cream puff.
