1. Queeny T.
“Queeny took excellent care of our pup! She shared pictures and videos every day to keep us updated how he was doing. Her communication was excellent, very responsive, and she was flexible when we encountered a delay in our travel plans that impacted our scheduled pick-up time. We will definitely have Queeny watch our pup again the next time we take a vacation!”
2. Steven S.
“Wow, all I can say is that Steven is AWESOME. I was afraid to leave my dogs with Steven because he watches multiple dogs together and my dogs are not good with other dogs. To my surprise, Steven sent me a video of my two dogs walking around the yard with multiple other dogs and not fighting but actually getting along. I could not believe this. As Steven informed me during the meet and greet that the only one that was worried was me and that my two would be fine. Boy, I guess he was correct. lol. He even informed me that my two were sticking together like glue. I taught them to take care of one another. I would recommend Steven for watching anyone's dog. I sure do know that he will be first on my list to call if I ever take another vacation. Again, Steven was AWESOME. He was always so polite and kept a smile on his face when speaking to me. KUDOS to you Steven. Great job. DUKE and BROWNIE say's thank you (WOOF, WOOF). Oh, I forgot the most important thing that impressed me so was the fact that since my dog DUKE has severe arthritis and was not doing the best while Steven was watching him, Steven was concerned so he contacted me after my dogs stay just to make sure DUKE was doing ok. That says volumes for me because it shows that Steven really cares and that is what makes him even more AWESOME.”

“Rachel is the best! Our doodle had a wonderful time with Rachel while we were away. We really appreciated the time Rachel spent and the thoughtful care she showed our doodle. Rachel sent many videos throughout the day and challenged our pup with puzzles and other activities. We had no doubts that she was safe and well looked after. We will definitely rebook!”

“I was very anxious being without Apollo for longer than we’d ever been apart, but Taj took great care of him! He loved playing with her Abu, and she sent loads of pictures and updates. I was confident the whole time I was gone that he was being well taken care of. I’ll definitely be booking with her again the next time I need a sitter.”
7. Ron & Cherie S.
