“All I have to say is she does everything I asked of her to provide for my cat, she potty trained my car to use the toilet over a few times of over night sitting wich I love, I don’t have to spend money on cat litter anymore and flushing is the only cleanup! She’s a very friendly girl and does 110% every single time! She’s ALWAYS available wich is such a life saver, she is super reliable and keeps me posted always. My cat hasn’t showed any sign of aggression after staying with her she like a pet whisperer. She also takes care of my brothers dog time to time and they both come back happier every time. I really recommend her as your sitter !”
Dean F.
“Aside from being one of the friendliest and most kind hearted people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, Dean is reliable, a great communicator, and has such a positive attitude! I had went on vacation for a little over a week and needed someone to watch my Dog Coco and my guinea pigs Rex and Ray. Coco is extremely friendly and adjusts to most if not all environments, meanwhile my guinea pigs are always anxious and can be uncomfortable around strangers. Dean watched my fur babies while I was on vacation and he kept me up to date with how each of them were doing, showing me pictures and videos, and even let me FaceTime them just so I could say hello. I knew my Coco would be fine, they got along extremely well and he LOVES Dean, but I was so glad that my guineas were so comfortable with him and didn’t stay in their huts the entire time. I was so appreciative of him taking care of my boys and how kind of a person he was, that I recommended my best friend to him as well (she has 2 cats). She had a great experience with him as well! I would highly recommend Dean to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
