1. Krystal W.
“My two Golden Retrievers had an awesome time staying with Krystal for two weeks. She communicated daily and sent pictures of my girls. She is very experienced and I highly recommend her for in home day care or overnight care. Also very convenient to be a few miles from our home in Sterling!”
2. Alyssa & Jason B.
“Alyssa has been a lifesaver for us over the years helping care for our dogs when we are out of town. She sent us regular updates and always made sure our fur babies were well cared for and loved. She made sure they were regularly exercised, fed appropriately and socialized. She does an incredible job in caring for our dogs. I highly recommend her for dog care.”
3. Soledad M.
“My dog was well loved and cared for by Soledad. I would absolutely return and use her dog sitting again.”
4. Melanie H.
“I have known Melanie Hughey for a few years and she is a very compassionate, loving friend. Her love for animals is so apparent and I picked up on it as soon as I met her and her beautiful big dogs. She has just the right mix of love, compassion, and discipline. When I bring my dogs to be at Mel‘s house, they love to be with her. I believe Mel would be perfect in a setting with any animal and totally trustworthy.”
