Nancy was great with our dachshund! She stayed at our house for a long weekend up to the 4th of July and our boy was well taken care of. We rarely leave out but with anyone but family, i am relieved to find a kind and loving person to take care of him outside of that!! She also took care of my moms dog without hesitation!! We will for sure ask her to watch him in the future!!

Highly recommend!! Andrea has stayed are our house two times for long weekends and watched our 14 year old Pitbull who can't go to dog parks or really be around other dogs. She gave him his medication which is about 8 pills and tried different things to get him to eat. She stayed in constant contact with me and left our house spotless. We already scheduled her for another weekend in August.

Shannon took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away. She sent daily pictures of them and the things she did with them. It was reassuring knowing that she took care of them in our house where they were comfortable. Would most certainly booker Shannon again as she was reliable, friendly, accommodating and professional.

Benjamin was great. He was very courteous, kept me updated regularly, and set plenty of pictures. I could tell he took very good care of our girl, and the house was just like we left it when we returned. I would happily book with him again.
