“David and Jeanette were great! Had my dog Piper stay with their family for 3 nights and she looked like she had a great time. Great communication and photos and easy to chat with! Thank you!”
“Could not have asked for a better experience! My pup (Ace) is an extremely anxious guy but upon meeting Leigh I could see she had such a warm, calm personality and that he would be in great hands. She sent me pictures and messages daily which I really appreciated. Leigh is extremely flexible with drop off/pick up times. She has a lovely home with a large outside area that Ace could safely explore. It was so nice to take a vacation knowing that Ace was being cared for by someone that truly loves dogs. I will be using Leigh for all future trips. Book her now!!”
“Great service! Really appreciative of Cecilia & the time she took to send pictures/videos day to day of our dog. She also let us know what time she was fed & walked. Definitely recommend :)”
“Erica was amazing with my pups! We received pics and updates throughout their stay. My pups were well taken care of and comfy with Erica and her family. Thank you for taking care of my dogs on short notice too ❤️❤️❤️”
“Kathryn and Matt were amazing. They have 2 other dogs that Gumbo was able to play with and the property was safe for him to have a good time.. They gave regular updates on how he was doing, walked him around the neighborhood and even snuggled him on the couch when he sat next to them. They were excellent caretakers.”
“Jennifer was wonderful and understanding of a last minute change request. She and her family treated Charlie like one of their own and he was happy and tired when I picked him up.”
“Our dog, Betty, fell in love with Darylee and her family during her stay this weekend. It was a serendipitous last minute availability that worked out for everyone! We received lots of pictures and updates on how our dog was doing, and it was obvious she was getting lots of belly rubs and attention! We will definitely be booking with them in the near future!!! =)”
“Tatyanah & Everardo did an awesome job with my Pup Isla!!! My Pup is very timid around other pups, but Tatyanah, Everardo, and their pups made Her feel very welcome. I received videos and pictures throughout the time Isla stayed at their home. I asked them for feedback and tips on how I can get Isla more comfortable around other pups. I would definitely recommend them. Isla will be seeing them soon as I plan to bring Isla back! Thank you Tatyanah and Everardo!”
“Erica and Ronald were amazing with our dogs. It was obvious our dogs enjoyed their stay and had fun with them. We got lots of pictures and updates from them. We definitely recommend them and would leave our dogs there again, thanks so much!”
“A HUGE thank you to Doug and Marisol for taking the best care of our 2 pug brothers! This was the first time boarding them and from the first moment up to the minute we picked them up we always felt they were happy and well taken care of thanks to the great communication and daily updates! We are so appreciative of the care they received as it allowed us a much needed vacay without worry!”
“Taylor and Andrew took great care of our dogs. They sent plenty of pictures and updates about how they were doing, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable sitter!”
“Always grateful for the care that Diana and Jim provide to our Pixie. She gets so excited when she gets to their home and has a ball. We are always at peace knowing she is there and having fun.”
“Both me and my pup felt at ease from the moment we stepped into Corinne and Christopher's home. They are the nicest people and take great care of my girl ❤️”
“They took excellent care of my dog. They sent me pictures everyday which was wonderful that I got to see her and not have to worry about how she was doing. She ate turkey on Thanksgiving and made a lot of new friends during her stay. It was also very comforting to know that she would be snuggling under the covers like she does at home. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be using their services again. ”
About: I have had all sized animals in my life for the majority of it. I was in 4-h as a child and have had several Saint Bernards, as well as Rottweilers, American Bulldogs, Border Collies, and many cats. In the past 3 years I have helped my clients train over 125 dogs if various ages and do direct work with dogs that require instinctual validation, especially for working dogs. I volunteer at HVOC in Escondido and assist with training in the Wednesday night puppy classes, so I am very used to interpreting dynamics from dogs and setting clear and healthy boundaries for them that will benefit them as they grow up. I am very competent at taking care of large groups of dogs, I am verg commonly taking care of 8+ dogs, so anything less than that will be a walk in the park for me. I mostly work online when I am not caring for a client's pet, so I generally have plenty of time to spare for walks or whatever you may need. For some reason, I have been told that it looks like I am not available to be booked, please ask! I am competent in taking care of animal's special or complicated diets and cleaning after them if needed. I encourage any insight/direction on any needs for your animal as well. (Treat schedule, walking, washing, whatever they need) I am very tidy and will leave your house spotless.
“Sarah was incredibly easy to coordinate with and very responsive throughout the entire process. My dog had such a great time and got along wonderfully with her pups. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Kevin was just the person I needed to take care of my dog while I was working out of town and my family wasn’t home to watch my dog. He has the perfect set up to keep any size dog fed, safe, and well taken care of and he has the room for a handful of dogs too! He and his kids took the time to take my dog out for walks. I will definitely reach out to him when in need again. Thanks Kevin!”
“Our boys had a great stay. Caleb gave us updates whenever we asked for them, and overall it was a good, easy drop off and pick up experience. Just make sure you ask if other dogs will be present during your dogs stay because we forgot to do that and one of my boys doesn't always play well with others, and I worried there would be problems. Luckily all went well! Would book again :)”
“Lori is the sweetest, most loving care taker of Maverick, I am so so thankful I found her!! I know my fur child is being well cared for and has the best time with her & her hubby and her doggos - he literally doesn’t want to come home when I pick him up haha! Lori will be my go to daycare / boarding place from now on!! ❤️”
“In the past with all my dog sitters, I have never been so satisfy with the care of my dog until I hired Kara. Kara has a dog of her own and really understand what it takes to take care of them. She listens to everything that I requested and follow it on schedule. There were also times that required my decision and she made an effort to text me without a hesitation, no matter how minor it was. I really felt comfortable the minute I have met her with lots of trust to do the job right. I'm not going to waste any more time looking for other sitters, since I found a perfect one. Kudos to Kara and I hope there will be others that will see that too along with me.”

About: Hey there! I’m a local college student currently studying to become an RN, and I’m home for the summer bringing fresh energy and a genuine passion for pet care. I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and grew up on a family farm surrounded by animals of all kinds, from horses and donkeys to our beloved dogs, cats, and everything in between! Over the years, I’ve helped walk and care for dogs for many different families, including first responders and nurses with long or unpredictable work hours. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and caring looking after your pets! My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable care tailored to your pet’s needs, and my active lifestyle means your dogs will get plenty of exercise, attention, and playful energy. I treat every animal like family and would love the opportunity to care for your furry friends!
“Maci was a fantastic sitter for our old cat! She was super responsive, sensitive to his special needs, very sweet with him, and communicated lots of detail to us while we were out of the country. She took care of our cat for 10 days. We were nervous about leaving him alone for so long, but Maci was very thoughtful and so responsible that our nerves were calmed and our trip was made so much more enjoyable as a result. I felt that our cat was in great hands with Maci’s connections to the vet clinic, but no issues came up. We will definitely hire Maci every time!”
“Our very recluse cat trusted Jenilee when we were gone for a week. Jenilee was able to brush and pet her, giving us peace of mind while away. She stilled howled at us for leaving her but calmed down shortly thereafter. I worked out an alternate schedule when I met her for first visit. She was completely reliable and we loved getting pictures of her daily. I will hire her again, especially because she lives close by, given the opportunity.”
“Anna was awesome! We had her stop by to feed our cats while we were out of town. She was extremely responsive, showed up when she said she would, and gave great feedback/pictures of our pets. Would 100% book her again!!”
“Dani did house-sitting for us and watched our timid and tempermental cat last week. She did a great job, provided updates, followed instructions and left the house clean. We already have her booked for future summer travel.”

I provide calm, attentive care and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Growing up in the country, my environment was filled with dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds early on. I have cared for everything from small, high-energy breeds like Chihuahua's to larger, and stronger breeds like Rottweilers and Pit-bulls. This exposure taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, including their exercise routines, feeding habits, and personality quirks. My ability to connect with dogs of all sizes and temperaments ensures they feel secure and cared for under my supervision. Rounded up I have five years of experience caring for dogs of different temperaments, sizes, and breeds making knowledge, communication, and compassion key skills of mine! These skills have been used to care for all types of dogs, whether it be seniors, new borns, or behavior challenged dogs! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, my flexible schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of the animals in my care. As a high school graduate, I have the freedom to manage my time efficiently, ensuring I can provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I schedule feeding times, walks, medications, and potty breaks around my coursework, giving each pet the structure they need while staying on top of my responsibilities. My ability to balance these tasks ensures that pets always feel cared for, even during busy periods. Having free weekends also allows me to dedicate more time to pets, who need consistent attention or engagement. I use this time for exercise, mental stimulation, or grooming, depending on the dogs needs and abilities. My focus on time management ensures that each pet is always prioritized, with plenty of quality time and attention incorporated into their routine. My goal is to provide a calm, nurturing, and healthy environment. I can ensure that pet care will fit seamlessly into my routine, allowing me to meet the needs for every dog I meet! Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, revolves around creating a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment that fosters trust and well being. Safety is my top priority, which includes securing the living space to prevent accidents, removing hazardous items, and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and appropriate food for their dietary needs. I carefully monitor their behavior to identify any signs of distress or illness and address them promptly. For outdoor activities, I use secure leashes or harnesses and supervise them, and monitor them while off leash closely. Building trust with pets is essential to providing effective care. I take time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and routines. By approaching them gently, respecting their boundaries, and offering positive reinforcement, this creates a sense of security and reliability. Whether it’s maintaining consistency in feeding schedules, potty breaks, and spending quality time/playing, I strive to create a comfortable environment for each dog I meet. I can ensure they feel valued and cared for, the environment I provide is clean, stimulating, and adapted to their specific needs. I offer comfortable resting areas, engaging toys, and plenty of space to explore. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their established routines and follow their care instructions precisely, maintaining a seamless transition for the pet. Ultimately, my approach combines attentiveness, compassion, and professionalism to ensure every pet thrives under my care.

About: Was blessed to grow up with dogs and also care for friends' and other peoples' furry family members in our community. My family has a wonderful home and property made for your doggy vacations. They can enjoy both time inside our home as well as the beautiful dog play area outside which is fully gated with coyote rollers, trees for shading, a couple sheds (one w/ AC), and fully turfed. They'll enjoy this area for playing fetch, tug of war, running around, along with just having some relaxation in the safe outdoors. Also, if they like walks, they can enjoy some of our own family walks. Since we homeschool and work from home, we are ready to provide 24 hour care while maintaining your furry family member's normal everyday routine - from when they wake up, eat, play, potty and bedtime. We love to match your normal schedule to provide them with a fun and relaxing time during their vacation at our home. Our goal is to provide a Safe, Fun, and Relaxing time for your furry family member. Whether they'll want to relax in our home or play in our beautiful and safe dog play area outside, their safety and comfort is our priority. While your furry family member is with us, they'll be treated and cared for as one of our own family members. Your furry family member gets to live life with our family as we play, do homeschool, and work all from home. We love having them in the house with us and letting them enjoy basking in the sun on the connected patio in our fully enclosed backyard, or taking them up to our Private Dog Park (steps away from our home and backyard) for another place to run around, play fetch and tug-of-war, or enjoy some shade under a couple beautiful trees. Our family of four will each care for them throughout the day - from waking up in the morning to falling asleep in the evening. From the initial Meet & Greet, we learn about your dog - their routines, how they play, how they like to be petted and scratched, how much and how often they eat and need to go potty, what time they wake up and go to sleep, medications they may need, commands and tricks they know that you'd like us to work on with them, and anything else you feel will make their time with us more relaxing and fun. We then do our best to mirror what you shared with us, so they feel safe and secure, and receive the love, care, and attention that they may need.
“Tater & Gemma loved spending time at Jennifer’s! They’re puppies and they got new experiences annd socialization and came home happy and tired. Gemma cuddled up with Jennifer at pick up, so I know she felt the love in Jennifer’s home. To top it off, both pups required meds and some extra attention to stitches and staples (darn puppies), and Jennifer was happy to tend to those needs. I’ve already booked another stay with Jennifer!”
“What a great family we had watching our pups today! Jack and Scout had a fabulous time getting all kinds of love and attention, the enclosed backyard was fantasticly huge, and our dogs were instantly comfortable with the people and the space. Darylee and I had great communication from start to finish. This was a great experience for our first time using a Rover!”

“They were amazing with Moose! We had a last minute need for dog sitting and they were able to accommodate within 30 minutes. We felt quite lucky. They even provided their own leash, water bowl, bed, and treats so we didn’t have to leave his stuff at all. Thank you both!!!”

“Odie, Bubble and Pippa just had a half-day trial day with Annie and Ty and their two girls and everything went fantastic!

About: Hi! I’m a Dog Mom. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9. I love them all and currently we have two year old husky and a one year old Corgi 🐾 I will make sure your dog feels loved and cared for. I currently don’t have a 9-5 job, I’m a homeschool mom so my time is flexible. The only service I can offer for now is drop-ins since I no longer have a fenced yard. I will play and care for them as my own 😊🐾 .
About: Being the mother of my own fur-child in the past, I know how much your pets mean to your family. I am willing to help with frequent walks, feeding, play and activities and also vacation pet sitting. I adore all dogs ... breeds, size, age or medical condition doesn't matter. Since I haven't adopted another dog since mine passed over the rainbow bridge last year, I take great joy in taking care of other peoples dogs to fill that space only a puppy can fill. I'll be their "Aunt Holly"! And I promise I will take care of them like they are my own. My day job is done remotely, so I'm able to work from wherever I'm at during the day... even at your home with your pups as my assistants. We will be able to take our breaks outside or go for a walk or even play together. My time is very flexible.
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was little — I grew up with six dogs and started caring for them on my own around age 10. It was never a chore. I genuinely loved it. Since then I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and that same feeling has never gone away. I do drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where they’ll be treated like family — not just watched over, but truly loved. I give a lot of affection and I make sure every animal feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, can handle oral and injected medications, and have experience with senior animals and pets with special needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll show up for them. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel hard. I just want you to feel at ease — and I want your animal to feel loved while you’re gone. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet real attention. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I offer drop-in visits and walks in the morning or afternoon — any day of the week. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where everything is calm, clean, and safe. I can also come to your home if that’s what’s most comfortable for your pet. Either way, I’m respectful of their routine and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I always clean up after myself and make sure your animal feels at ease the whole time you’re away.
“My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!”

“We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care Lily provided for our beloved pup, Hazel! Lily's patience, kindness, and attention to detail made all the difference in Hazel's walks.

About: Hello and welcome to ADVENTURES WITH BEAN 🌄 My name is Becca and am a San Diego native who has been exploring the world with my dog/best friend, Stella Bean We are very friendly, active, and have lots of love to give. In my home I believe in treating our guests as family, so that means all furry friends and humans are treated with the same love, kindness, and respect as the next 🌈.Our home is small and comfy but we have a large yard for any size dog to play around in. Taking care of animals is my full-time job so your pet is my priority. I am a very active person, I usually like to go on hikes or walks in canyons, beaches or parks. I double-majored in ecology and biology so nature and animals are my passion. I have extensive experience with animals and a deep understanding of animal behavior. I have worked with dogs w special-needs- I cared for a dalmatian who would have seizures and was very hyperactive, as well as many years caring for my blind dog, Tikka. I also have experience administering insulin to pets who have diabetes. From miniature chihuahua to great dane, I’ve worked with almost every breed. My schedule is flexible, so if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out. PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT PACKAGE DEALS FOR DAYCARE!!! Pet care is a way of life for me. I care for Stella 24/7 but when we have company, I like to get up around 7am and plan my days around the dogs/animals I have the opportunity to take care of. From the beaches, to the mountains and canyons in between, I enjoy making my lifestyle an active one and enjoy bringing dogs along with me. When things slow down and I enjoy watching the dogs run around the yard while I work on projects around the house. In our home, dogs have the opportunity to venture between the house and the patio or back yard freely (so long as you are okay w that). The backyard is completely fenced in and double-gated. There is also fresh water dispersed around the property, along with plenty of toys and chews to play with. There is also a patio area so our furry friends can get some shade, if needed. When it comes to cats, I am more than happy to accommodate any size cat, I have a loft in my house that cats love to climb up into and laze about. They have toys and scratching posts up there as well for enrichment. I also have a beautiful beam that stretches above my kitchen that they tend to love to lay on and watch people walk around below. Every animal is different with its own unique temperament . What I enjoy doing is creating a comfy, secure, calm, and fun environment for each and every animal I get the opportunity to meet and care for.

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, and I have 10 years of professional pet care experience. I can care for dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, chickens, and rodents. I enjoy walking, watching, feeding and just generally caring for all animals. Anytime on weekends. I am also available during the day all week except for Tuesday. I take care of animals on a farm and that is taken care of at dawn and dusk. I come with plenty of poop bags, water, and healthy dog treats. I follow instructions to the letter and I make the safety of animals my priority.
About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds since a young age. I grew in a home with cats, and later dogs were introduced. However, outside of the home life I was surrounded by dogs! The daycare I attended had an in-home grooming service, and I got to help groom the 13 dogs that lived there! I’ve also been fortunate enough to be a part of the training process for some dogs that have been in 4-H! Finally to the good stuff; I’ve been a reliable dog/house sitter for the same couple for the last 5 years. In the span of those 5 years, they moved 3 houses, and so I got to experience first hand how upset the pups can get when their environment is changed. Some of the basic duties include feeding and making sure they have water, making sure they’re going to the bathroom regularly, being walked and played with regularly and cleaning up messes. Some additional tasks are taking them to their vet visits and administering medication (pill-form)! My availability is pretty flexible! I’m a full time student, so I currently am not working. For more information regarding scheduling please contact me directly! I will treat your home as I do mine. I take pride in a clean living space! I will take care of feeding, and making sure they have water. I will ensure they have been walked, played with, have had treats, and are snuggled at night time! I can administer medication (pill form), if necessary.
“We had Kristen house sit for us and take care of our Golden Retriever. She was great - good communication in the planning stages and flexible with our plans. When we were gone she sent lots of photos and updates, which we appreciated. On our return, Kristen had stripped the bed and washed her bedding. Wow! We felt completely comfortable leaving our baby in her care and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I can remember! I’ve had dogs, cats, Guinnea pigs, chickens, fish, and snakes! I would love to help out with any of your pets! I’m currently working part time, so I have availability to work most days! I can work around your schedule to come early mornings or at night whenever is necessary. I have a fenced yard for your dogs to run around in and have the time of their life! I’ve also learned over the years to be very cautious about leaving doors open, so there’s no concern about your pet getting out of sight!

“Erica was amazing with my pups! We received pics and updates throughout their stay. My pups were well taken care of and comfy with Erica and her family. Thank you for taking care of my dogs on short notice too ❤️❤️❤️”
“Kathryn and Matt were amazing. They have 2 other dogs that Gumbo was able to play with and the property was safe for him to have a good time.. They gave regular updates on how he was doing, walked him around the neighborhood and even snuggled him on the couch when he sat next to them. They were excellent caretakers.”
“Jennifer was wonderful and understanding of a last minute change request. She and her family treated Charlie like one of their own and he was happy and tired when I picked him up.”
“Our dog, Betty, fell in love with Darylee and her family during her stay this weekend. It was a serendipitous last minute availability that worked out for everyone! We received lots of pictures and updates on how our dog was doing, and it was obvious she was getting lots of belly rubs and attention! We will definitely be booking with them in the near future!!! =)”
“Tatyanah & Everardo did an awesome job with my Pup Isla!!! My Pup is very timid around other pups, but Tatyanah, Everardo, and their pups made Her feel very welcome. I received videos and pictures throughout the time Isla stayed at their home. I asked them for feedback and tips on how I can get Isla more comfortable around other pups. I would definitely recommend them. Isla will be seeing them soon as I plan to bring Isla back! Thank you Tatyanah and Everardo!”
“Erica and Ronald were amazing with our dogs. It was obvious our dogs enjoyed their stay and had fun with them. We got lots of pictures and updates from them. We definitely recommend them and would leave our dogs there again, thanks so much!”

“Both me and my pup felt at ease from the moment we stepped into Corinne and Christopher's home. They are the nicest people and take great care of my girl ❤️”
“They took excellent care of my dog. They sent me pictures everyday which was wonderful that I got to see her and not have to worry about how she was doing. She ate turkey on Thanksgiving and made a lot of new friends during her stay. It was also very comforting to know that she would be snuggling under the covers like she does at home. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be using their services again. ”
About: I have had all sized animals in my life for the majority of it. I was in 4-h as a child and have had several Saint Bernards, as well as Rottweilers, American Bulldogs, Border Collies, and many cats. In the past 3 years I have helped my clients train over 125 dogs if various ages and do direct work with dogs that require instinctual validation, especially for working dogs. I volunteer at HVOC in Escondido and assist with training in the Wednesday night puppy classes, so I am very used to interpreting dynamics from dogs and setting clear and healthy boundaries for them that will benefit them as they grow up. I am very competent at taking care of large groups of dogs, I am verg commonly taking care of 8+ dogs, so anything less than that will be a walk in the park for me. I mostly work online when I am not caring for a client's pet, so I generally have plenty of time to spare for walks or whatever you may need. For some reason, I have been told that it looks like I am not available to be booked, please ask! I am competent in taking care of animal's special or complicated diets and cleaning after them if needed. I encourage any insight/direction on any needs for your animal as well. (Treat schedule, walking, washing, whatever they need) I am very tidy and will leave your house spotless.
“Sarah was incredibly easy to coordinate with and very responsive throughout the entire process. My dog had such a great time and got along wonderfully with her pups. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Kevin was just the person I needed to take care of my dog while I was working out of town and my family wasn’t home to watch my dog. He has the perfect set up to keep any size dog fed, safe, and well taken care of and he has the room for a handful of dogs too! He and his kids took the time to take my dog out for walks. I will definitely reach out to him when in need again. Thanks Kevin!”
“Our boys had a great stay. Caleb gave us updates whenever we asked for them, and overall it was a good, easy drop off and pick up experience. Just make sure you ask if other dogs will be present during your dogs stay because we forgot to do that and one of my boys doesn't always play well with others, and I worried there would be problems. Luckily all went well! Would book again :)”
“Lori is the sweetest, most loving care taker of Maverick, I am so so thankful I found her!! I know my fur child is being well cared for and has the best time with her & her hubby and her doggos - he literally doesn’t want to come home when I pick him up haha! Lori will be my go to daycare / boarding place from now on!! ❤️”
“While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed how happy and well cared my dogs were. It was obvious that my dogs felt comfortable and loved. When I returned, my dogs were relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been in great hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, Ashley is the perfect choice. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jenny was the perfect pet sitter. I didn't have to worry about my boy at all. She kept me updated with pics and videos and made sure he had fun. I would definitely recommend her and rebook with her anytime we're in this area.”
“Max spent four days with Norma. This was his third time. As with the other times, Max showed how fond he is of Norma both before (he remembered her) and after. The photos were great, too. Norma is our go-to sitter for Max.”
“Michelle and Steve are awesome, they took amazing care of our Husky puppy while we were away. He had the absolute best time staying with them and Daisy! We’d love it if he can stay again in the future and we’re so grateful for Michelle’s organization and experienced approach - even with large breeds. Thank you!”
