5. Rohanne D.


“Rohanne loves dogs and they all love her! My Loki enjoyed hanging out with other dogs for the weekend. Clear communications, too. Will definitely book again ??”


6. Skylar A.

“Skyler was absolutely amazing. I really felt comfortable with leaving my cat with them. The apartment was cute and clean and their personal cats friendly and well behaved. Skyler kept in contact much more then past sitters and asked questions to make sure she was taking care of iceberg in the best way possible. She was also incredibly kind and accommodating when I ran late to drop off and pick up with the hard to predict traffic around Athens county. I will definitely be returning to have her as a sitter next time I’m out of town”

“Deana was so sweet and you can tell she really loves dogs!! We got feedback and pictures every day with updates regarding how he slept, how he ate and how many walks they did. Her own dogs are very accepting of new visitors (both human amd canine) ? I would recommend Deana to anyone who needs their pet well taken care of like it was her own!”
