“Nicole was wonderful! She took excellent care of our dog and was communicative throughout. This was our first experience with Nicole and we immediately felt great peace-of-mind. We are definitely looking forward to working with Nicole again in the future.”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our dog Happy, a Chiweenie (Dachshund–Chihuahua mix), with Ms.Li. From the very beginning, communication was great and reassuring. The sitter shared daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us. Happy always looked relaxed, comfortable, and happy, and it was clear he was receiving genuine care and attention. Thanks to this, we were able to fully enjoy our time away without any stress or worries. We are very satisfied and would highly recommend Ms.Li to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog”

“Tiffany and her family were perfect for our high energy dog! They have two energetic dogs of their own and our dog, Winston, gets lots of play time with them and lots of balls to fetch from the family! Our dog also LOVES the pool and got to swim in their pool twice over a three night stay, and Tiffany was gracious to bathe him afterwards and even give him a life jacket so he could enjoy it with their kids. We love that Winston is having his own vacation while we’re away, and will continue to use Tiffany for our upcoming stays!”
“Stacey is truly the BEST!! She has a big yard and a wonderful pet-loving family so it was great knowing our dog was treated like a king :) We would definitely hire her again for her services. She went above and beyond and surprised us with the wonderful care and attention to detail. Truly a wonderful treat!!”
“Yelda has been amazing with Nami! She’s very caring, reliable, and I always feel at ease knowing Nami is in good hands with her.

“We had such a great experience with Ilona! She took wonderful care of Sophie and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was easy, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It was clear that Sophie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Ilona and would happily have her watch Sophie again!”
“Areli was amazing! It was Leo’s first time sitting and he had a great time and even met a new doggy friend. Loved the frequent updates and pictures. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Leo while we were away.”

“Perla was amazing taking care of my two cats. I was gone for two weeks, she kept up with communication, pictures, and how my cats were doing. Even though the initial booking was for once a day drop in visits, she was able to accommodate and do drop in visits twice daily instead, on request. Will definitely book with her again when needed.”
“Absolutely the best cat sitter I've had on this app. She got along so well with our kitties, was able to deliver medicine to our elder Sassy cat (no easy feat), did the kitty chores diligently every time she was over, and the has the best price for her rate. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Alaina is an excellent pet sitter who will take great care of your furry family members. From the moment I met her, I was impressed by her warmth and friendliness. She did a wonderful job with my sweet kitty! While I was away for the weekend, she took fantastic care of my cat and sent me numerous photos and updates. When I returned home, my cat was relaxed and content, which truly speaks to Alaina's exceptional pet-sitting skills. I'll definitely be using Alaina in the future!”
About: Hi there! My name is Lukasz Paul and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my German Shepherd, and my Belgian Malinois. I also helped my parents with their pet sitting business in Santa Clarita. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. Our pups were rescued as well, with little training, so teaching them tricks was always a fun time! I’m working, so the days I added that are available, have to be either requested Later at night or very early in the morning. My work schedule does change week by week. So it does depend on my schedule on when I am available. My main job, at home is to show love and appreciation towards my dog. When she does something good, I treat her. Doing this will help her to understand me better.
“Amanda is awesome! She was very attentive and followed instructions precisely. She was also great at communicating every detail and asked for guidance whenever she faced an issue we hadn't addressed. I highly recommend her, and will use her again!”
“Jennifer did a great job taking care of my cat, Momo. Always on time and sent pictures throughout. Finding a new sitter after moving can be a little worrying but Jennifer was super kind and personable which eased any concerns. Will be rebooking soon. Thank you!”
“We could not be happier with the attention and care taken while we were away. This was our first time away from the cats, and their first time without us. When we returned they were happy, running around, tails in the air, and acting normal as if nothing different had happened. Maybe a little hurt they didn't seem to mind us being away, but that is all the better. We'll be back with Alyssa next years vacation, without any questions or hesitation.”
“This was the second time we asked Yelda to take care of our cat, and once again, she was absolutely wonderful! Yelda is incredibly responsible, attentive, and caring. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our cat is in safe, loving hands while we are away. She kept us updated and took amazing care of everything. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much, Yelda!”
“Trinity was thoughtful, considerate of our home and dogs, and did an absolutely wonderful job communicating and meeting our needs as dog owners while also nurturing our pups. She truly went above and beyond by leaving our home looking neat and giving our dogs excellent care. I especially appreciated all the photos and videos she shared. We have officially found our dog sitter!”
“Awesome dog sitter. Very nice, aware, attentative. Go over and beyond to assure you your dogs will be taken care of. She not only dropped in but also walked my three dogs at one time and followed all of my instructions for eating schedules etc.”
About: I have fostered and housed many kitties in need and found them great homes, I’m a kitty girl and I love them so much! I have 3 kitties of my own and I’m always the number one person my family and friends will call to come baby sit their animals ever since I was 15 :)
“I had a wonderful experience working with Laura and Zuceth. This was my first time boarding my cat and was quite nervous. Laura and Zuceth were very communicative and were quick to respond to my questions. While the took care of my cat, I received daily updates from them regarding her wellbeing which made me feel confident that my baby was being well cared for. They provided a lot of care and attention to my cat which made her feel more at ease in her new setting. I am truly grateful for Laura and Zuceth and look forward to working with them again.”
“Kristine is very professional working with our dog. She was gentle and careing and our dog became very close to her. Kristine was always attentive and on time. She was a blessing when I had an extended business meeting she was able to return and cover for me. In the future I would recommend hiring her again.thank you.”
About: I've been a petsitter for 5 years, helping family and friends' fur babies while they were out of town. I am experienced with dogs and cats, small and large. I am very energetic and bubbly, but can match any animals personality to make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of. As someone who has grown up surrounded by animals, I love making new fur friends!
“Shannon took wonderful care of our cats while we were out of town. She was kind and calm, which made them feel comfortable immediately. Especially the more nervous one!

“Really appreciated Susana sending me pictures throughout the day. Shes also so understanding and patient with my puppy who I know is a handful right now. Her pup was also such a great playmate for my puppy! Opal came home tired both nights it was amazing.”
“Second time leaving our pup with Nicole and we are just as happy as the first time. We can trust Nicole and her family to take great care of our little guy and he comes back home happy as ever. He started wagging his tail when he saw we were at Nicole’s house. Thank you again!”
“Ilona has been great with our dog! She was recommended to us by a fellow dog parent and we’re very thankful for Ilona - she takes great care of our dog, sends us a detailed care information after each visit, and the kids are so good with our dog as well. Bonus that Ilona is close to our home! Her communication is quick and is flexible when our pick up and drop off times need to shift on short notice.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of all kinds for years. My family and friends rely on me for their pet’s care and my veterinary experience gives me confidence in identifying issues and brainstorming solutions. I have open availability Monday through Friday, and am open to weekends depending on client needs. I work from home and therefore am flexible with scheduling. I can’t wait to meet your kiddos! I have a lovely home that I share with my husband, our 2 boys, and our pup, and I am open to visiting pets at client homes as well depending on what is more comfortable for the pet and their family!
“Chengcheng did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was at work. She went on multiple walks, took her to the park, and even sent pictures of my babe throughout the day so I always knew what they were doing together. I highly recommend Chengcheng for any service she offers, you can rest assured your baby is in good hands.”

“We’ve never boarded our beagle before and we’re unsure what to expect. Stacey was great with our dog. Spent time playing with him and sent us pictures and video. Her home is set up well for taking care of dogs, with lots of toys and a nice fenced backyard. We look forward to boarding our dog there again!”
“Tina is an absolute gem. I left my little Ruby in Tina's care for a few hours to ensure Millie and Ruby got along well enough for a much longer stay coming up soon. It could not have gone better! I am so glad I chose Tina, she met and exceeded all of my expectations.”
“Areli is FAB! Wow. Lily was cozy and comfortable from the moment we arrived. Absolutely wonderful experience having Areli care for my sweet baby. Will def book again! ✨✨✨♥️”
About: I’ve spent nearly my whole life around animals, and I genuinely can’t imagine it any other way. Almost 30 years working with horses — training, rehabbing, and caring for them — taught me patience, how to read an animal’s body language, and how to stay calm when they’re not. That instinct carries straight over to dogs, cats, and just about anyone with fur. When your pet is with me, they’re not an obligation on a checklist. They’re company. I’ll keep their routine steady, give them the attention and exercise they need, and send you updates so you’re never wondering how they’re doing. Whether it’s an anxious rescue who needs a gentle hand or a high-energy goofball who needs a real walk, I’ve got them. Acton/Santa Clarita area. Reach out and tell me about your crew — I’d love to meet them. I work from home, so pets aren’t squeezed into the margins of my day — they’re part of it. My schedule is flexible, which means I can match your pet’s routine instead of forcing them into mine: morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times, all of it stays consistent with what they’re used to. Between my own animals and my work with horses, caring for animals is already woven into every day. Adding your pet to that rhythm isn’t a stretch — it’s just one more member of the crew. I’m around throughout the day to keep an eye on things, so your pet gets steady attention rather than a quick drop-in and gone. In your home, my first priority is keeping your pet’s world exactly as they know it — same feeding spots, same walk routes, same routine. I don’t rearrange things or cut corners. I make sure doors, gates, and yards are secure before anything else, because a lot of trouble starts with a gate that didn’t latch. I keep your keys and access details private and treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine. With animals themselves, decades of reading horses taught me to watch body language closely — I can tell when a pet is anxious, overstimulated, or not feeling right, and I adjust instead of pushing. New environments and unfamiliar dogs get introduced slowly and on the pet’s terms. I keep an eye on hazards most people miss: food left out, toxic plants, an open trash can, a fence gap. You’ll hear from me with updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and settled. If something seems off health-wise, I’ll reach out right away rather than wait — and I’ll always have your vet’s info on hand just in case.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets with different temperaments and routines. I currently care for pets in my own home, so I understand how important it is to provide a safe, clean, and calm environment. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, potty routines, basic grooming, and giving pets the attention they need to feel comfortable. I am especially patient with shy or anxious pets and make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I focus on providing consistent care, close supervision, and regular updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I am able to give regular potty breaks, attention, and supervision. Since I already care for pets at home, your pet will fit into a calm and structured routine. I am available for boarding on most days and can accommodate different schedules when needed. I maintain a clean, pet-safe home and closely supervise all pets at all times. I create a calm, secure environment and can separate pets if needed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort.
About: I have always had animals since I was a kid and I have always loved them! I love their unconditional connection with us. I have senior dog care and medication administering experience. I am trying something new in my career path, which will hopefully include your pet. I want to work with animals more and turn it into a career. I can't wait to get my steps in with your pet! I have an open schedule at this time. I'm looking to fill my week with regular walks, visits, and boarding. I have three daughters. My oldest actually works as a pet bather with Petsmart and my two younger daughters love animals as much as I do......I've been told by my oldest that I'm not allowed at the animals shelter anymore. 🤣🤣🤣 I live in a mobile home with a fenced yard. I have four of my own fur babies that are welcoming to new visitors. Depending on weather we may go for walks at the park and visit the dog park or play in the backyard or even the house with toys. But as long as it's not too hot or raining we hit the park and dog park.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and love and treat them as my own children. They are a man’s best friend. They light up your day and take the stress away.

Now my focus is taking care of your pets if you are out of town, need a day sitter, etc. I have a fenced back yard, but I never allow pets out there unless I am beside them. I walk dogs on a leash. Play with them throughout the day.
About: Dogs have been part of my life as long as I can remember! Love meeting all of them and can't wait to meet your little bud! I make my own schedule, so for the most part I'm available when needed (with proper planning for longer visits of course.) Feel free to reach out when you need a hand! My pup is on pretty good schedule, so I'm know the importance of keeping those scheduled feedings and/or outside time. If we need walks, someone to throw a ball to get the zoomies out or just someone to hang with so they're not alone all day I'm in!

“Great communication with lots of pictures of bacon on walks. She really took care of him like he was her own dog. I will definitely be requesting more walks from Alyssa.”
About: Hello, my name is Alexis Keys, and my heart has always been drawn to animals of all kinds. From a young age, I found joy in rescuing those in need from the streets, ensuring they had a safe haven. My journey has led me to volunteer at local animal shelters, where I’ve been privileged to care for many vulnerable creatures. I’ve also opened my home to foster animals who required extra love and attention, such as underweight puppies or kittens needing medication, helping them get ready for their forever homes. Additionally, I’ve offered my support to friends and family by caring for their beloved pets when they were away, ensuring those furry companions felt comforted and loved. Integrating pet care into our daily and weekly routines is truly vital for nurturing the well-being of our beloved pets and deepening the cherished bond we share with them. Establishing a structured routine helps ensure that the diverse needs of our furry friends are met, positively contributing to their overall health and happiness. Each morning can begin with a gentle touch as we feed and exercise our pets. A consistent feeding schedule not only makes them feel secure and well-nourished but also shows them just how much we care. Morning walks or playful interactions are not just physical exercises; they serve as crucial moments for mental stimulation and connection. Incorporating grooming and hygiene practices into our morning ritual sets a loving tone for the day ahead. During our work or school hours, it’s essential to thoughtfully prepare for their needs by organizing their toys and supplies, ensuring they feel loved and cared for even when we’re away. In the evenings, setting aside time to engage in play fosters not only their mental stimulation but also enriches the bond we hold dear, followed by evening feeds and gentle hygiene checks that ensure our pets are comfortable and clean. Our weekly routines often call for a bit more attention and care. Scheduling veterinary appointments for check-ups and vaccinations is so important for their health and peace of mind. Regular grooming sessions, including baths, can be wonderful bonding experiences. It's also beneficial to give our pets socialization opportunities through playdates, training classes, or fun outings to dog parks and pet-friendly events, enriching their lives while creating beautiful shared memories. Taking the time to check our inventory of food and medications helps ensure that we’re prepared and our pets’ needs are always met, making the act of caring feel even more joyful. To balance these responsibilities smoothly, we can lean on time management tips and encourage family members to help with pet care tasks, helping create a collective sense of responsibility. It’s essential, too, to be flexible and adjust our routines based on the unique needs of each pet and any lifestyle changes we may encounter. Ultimately, committing to a well-thought-out pet care routine not only enhances our pets’ well-being but also strengthens the bond we cherish. By crafting a personalized approach to pet care, we can ensure that our furry companions are happy, healthy, and feel like truly treasured members of our families. Caring for pets in our homes is a profound responsibility that highlights the essential role we play in ensuring their happiness and well-being. The services we provide, whether it’s pet sitting, dog walking, or grooming, are vital to keeping our furry friends healthy and joyful. Understanding the fundamental principles of pet care is truly important. Each pet has unique needs that deserve our attention—this includes their nutritional requirements, exercise routines, and socialization habits. Creating a safe and nurturing environment is crucial, along with regular health checks and timely vaccinations, all of which contribute to the loving responsibility of pet ownership. Pet sitting is a compassionate commitment that begins with thoughtful preparation. Meeting the pet and its owner helps us understand their routines and preferences, enabling us to provide personalized care. Daily tasks, like sticking to feeding schedules, arranging exercise and playtime, and maintaining a clean environment, are all part of making sure our pets feel secure and loved. It’s also important to monitor their behavior; this sensitivity allows us to notice any signs of stress and helps us manage interactions, particularly in households with multiple pets. When it comes to dog walking, taking the time to assess each dog’s individual needs is essential, as every dog has its unique pace and socialization style. Prioritizing safety during walks is key; this means using a leash properly and staying aware of our surroundings. After a fulfilling walk, offering hydration and ensuring the dog has a peaceful time to rest, along with checking for any injuries or ticks, is a significant part of the care we provide. Grooming our pets regularly is another deeply caring aspect of pet ownership. This includes bathing, brushing, clipping nails, and keeping their ears and teeth clean. Grooming routines can vary based on different breeds and coat types, and this time spent together also allows us to detect any skin issues or health concerns early on. We should also make special considerations for senior or special needs pets, as they require extra attention and compassion. Caring for multiple pets in one home comes with its own set of challenges, but with a gentle approach, we can foster harmony. Additionally, being prepared for emergencies by equipping ourselves with first aid knowledge is invaluable and underscores our commitment to our beloved pets. Ultimately, building a trusting and loving relationship with both pets and their owners is at the heart of successful pet care. By dedicating ourselves to ongoing education and adapting to new practices, we become better equipped to meet the ever-evolving needs of our cherished companions.
“Chelsea always does such a great job and was available last minute this past week to walk our dog at various times! She is so kind with our husky, makes sure she has ample water, and gives her love and attention. We’re so appreciative for how she’s able to help out our busy household!”

About: I’ve had private clients over the past two years consistent of house sitting and dog walking. Moving to a new area and switching to Rover to meet new pets to care for.

About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life and currently have plenty of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and birds. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, including larger dogs and pets that need a little more patience.

I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company while you’re away.

Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on them throughout the day and give them plenty of attention. I also have multiple rooms available, so pets can be kept separate when needed or given their own space to relax and feel comfortable. I’ll follow any feeding instructions, walking schedules, routines, or other preferences you provide, and I’m happy to adjust based on each pet’s personality and needs.

About: Hi! I’m Walter, a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs of all sizes, including toy poodles and schnauzers. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable, happy, and safe. Friends and family describe me as calm, dependable, and attentive. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I have experience teaching dogs basic commands and enjoy reinforcing positive behaviors through patience and consistency. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and following detailed feeding, medication, and exercise routines. My goal is simple: to treat every pet as if they were my own, so you can travel with peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, responsible hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply companionship, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long periods. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before every booking. I follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and always prioritize safe walks and supervised play. As a board-certified physician, attention to detail, responsibility, and clear communication are qualities I bring to every visit.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, but my biggest experience comes from raising my two Blue Heelers from puppies. My oldest is 15 years old and my other is 7, so I’ve had years of experience learning how different dogs can be at every stage of life. Blue Heelers are smart, energetic, and definitely have their own personalities, so raising them has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, exercise, and understanding a dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with high energy pups that want to play and stay active, but I also know how important it is to slow things down and give older dogs the extra attention and patience they need. What I think sets me apart is that I don’t see dog sitting as just feeding a dog and taking them outside. I actually enjoy getting to know each dog their personality, their routine, what makes them comfortable, and what makes them happy. I’ll give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pup is being treated like family while you’re away. I work a part-time job, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to give dogs the attention and exercise they need. I’m available any time on weekdays and weekends, which gives me plenty of time to play, walk, feed, and spend quality time with them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I really enjoy being around dogs. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I treat their home and their pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep their pets on their normal routine, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, food, and fresh water. I also keep the space clean and secure and provide updates so the owner knows their pets are doing well.
About: I have always had animals since I was a kid and I have always loved them! I love their unconditional connection with us. I have senior dog care and medication administering experience. I am trying something new in my career path, which will hopefully include your pet. I want to work with animals more and turn it into a career. I can't wait to get my steps in with your pet! I have an open schedule at this time. I'm looking to fill my week with regular walks, visits, and boarding. I have three daughters. My oldest actually works as a pet bather with Petsmart and my two younger daughters love animals as much as I do......I've been told by my oldest that I'm not allowed at the animals shelter anymore. 🤣🤣🤣 I live in a mobile home with a fenced yard. I have four of my own fur babies that are welcoming to new visitors. Depending on weather we may go for walks at the park and visit the dog park or play in the backyard or even the house with toys. But as long as it's not too hot or raining we hit the park and dog park.
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I'm truly passionate about. To me, pets aren't just pets; they're family. I'm a lifelong pet owner and currently have two girl dogs, a Yorkie-Terrier-Chihuahua and a Yorkie-Shih Tzu, along with three boy cats: one gray-and-black tabby and two orange tabbies. I've also spent the past 2 years pet-sitting for friends and family, caring for their pets as I would my own. One thing that sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and attention I devote to every animal in my care. I've had hands-on experience caring for pets with medical needs, including administering insulin injections to my diabetic, senior Bichon-Poodle and providing medication to my rescued shelter cats for various conditions, including urinary infections, conjunctivitis, and parasites. Caring for rescued animals has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and carefully following each pet's individual care instructions. I'm very attentive to feeding schedules, daily routines, and individual needs, and I understand how important consistency is for an animal's comfort and well-being. I follow structured feeding routines with my own cats and dogs, and I'd be more than happy to maintain your pet's usual schedule. I want every animal I look after to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pets with someone else, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. Whether it's playtime, walks, cuddles, medication, or simply keeping them company, I'll treat your pets with the same love, dedication, and attention I give my own! As a recent college graduate currently studying for my California real estate exam, I have a flexible daily schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm home frequently and am able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. I provide attentive, loving, and personalized care for pets in their own homes, where they can feel comfortable and stick to their usual routines. I'm happy to do drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, walks, cuddles, and administering medications as needed. I'm also available for overnight stays or house-sitting, so your pets have company and care throughout the day and night while you're away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment, and I'll do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Every pet has their own personality and needs, so I always follow your instructions for feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and needs patience, or simply wants some extra love and company, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable and at ease while you're away.

“All the positive reviews about Alyssa are 100% true! I was in need of a sitter for our eldery Shih Tzu (Molly) for three days! Alyssa was friendly and professional during the coordination process. We dropped Molly off at Alyssa's residence and received a heart-felt welcoming! We saw an instant connection between Molly and Alyssa making the situation of leaving Molly behind comforting. During our trip, Alyssa maintained communication with us via text message and photographs which ensured us Molly was doing well. Upon pick up, Molly was clean and easily noticeable she had been well taken care of! I would highly recommend Alyssa!”
“Tiffany and her family were perfect for our high energy dog! They have two energetic dogs of their own and our dog, Winston, gets lots of play time with them and lots of balls to fetch from the family! Our dog also LOVES the pool and got to swim in their pool twice over a three night stay, and Tiffany was gracious to bathe him afterwards and even give him a life jacket so he could enjoy it with their kids. We love that Winston is having his own vacation while we’re away, and will continue to use Tiffany for our upcoming stays!”
“Stacey is truly the BEST!! She has a big yard and a wonderful pet-loving family so it was great knowing our dog was treated like a king :) We would definitely hire her again for her services. She went above and beyond and surprised us with the wonderful care and attention to detail. Truly a wonderful treat!!”
