Alpine & Hemi really enjoyed their time with Tara. I felt very comfortable leaving Hemi in her care knowing she had the experience to handle any seizures. I would definitely book her again.
Kept me updated throughout the entire trip and took wonderful care of my dog! Highly recommend using Veronica to care for your beloved pets!
Took excellent care of my Pickles while I was away. Great communication and willing to go that extra mile if you need her too.
Lisa is the PERFECT pet sitter - kind, responsible, accountable, and goes above and beyond with communication and taking care of your loved ones! Lisa watched our 2 cavaliers for 5 days and I was not worried once because I knew they were in great hands. She sent daily pictures and updates, and she took initiative in reaching out 2 days before (as well as the day of) to confirm everything was good to go for her stay. It's no wonder she is always booked up because this is the type of person you want sitting for your pets! Can't recommend Lisa more highly.
Allison was absolutely amazing! We needed care for our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. She came over beforehand on short notice to meet us and our boys. She was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and made us feel very comfortable knowing she would be staying in our home. During the weekend, Allison kept me updated regularly with messages and photos! She was also very helpful when I asked her for a few favors like turning on our sprinklers and grabbing a package. When we got home after the stay, our house was in perfect condition as Allison even wiped the counters and tidied up a bit! Our two dogs were also very happy and I can tell they were very loved while we were away. I will 100000% reach out to Allison again and cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Allison!
