Highly-rated overnight sitters - Lakeridge
“Leaving your dogs is never easy, but Christine made it seamless for us and joyful for Willow and Jones. She treated them like her own, created a warm space, and shared the sweetest updates. We came home to relaxed, happy pups, which says everything.”
“Trusting a stranger with your pet is the worst! but he is one to trust, I give him 5 stars for all the updates during my dogs stay an photos.. I can tell my pup was stress fee on pick up & was quick to get comfortable with Gabriel on drop off !”
“Patty and Randy did a great job with our dog Bronco, making him a part of their family right away and giving us peace of mind he was well taken care of.”
“This review is long overdue! Gina and Erik watched our two golden retrievers while in Tahoe for a family gathering in May 2023. They treated our dogs like their own and sent us lots of updates, photos and videos of our dogs during their stay. Our dogs looked SO HAPPY and clearly LOVED Gina and Erik. During a thunderstorm, one of our dogs was scared and Gina made a rub of essentials oils to help calm him, and Erik gave him hugs on the couch. They gave them such love, pets and hugs and we couldn't have asked for better dog sitters during our time in Tahoe. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you Gina and Erik!”
About: Hello! I’m a local dental hygienist that will treat your pet as if it’s my own. I am a healthy balance of being active and outdoorsy as well as a homebody, so I am able to adjust my daily routine to meet your pet’s needs/wants! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! I work Monday and Tuesday from 7:30 to 5 and Wednesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 3. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, day care and overnight stays any times that do not fall within those timeframes. Message me!:) I grew up on 40 acres where we always had a lot of animals including dogs of many kinds and cats. I have a lot of patience and understanding when it comes to pet care and safety. I will always care for any animal as if it is my own!
“Our pooches had the best time with Kathy & and her awesome dog gypsy! Her home was very warm and welcoming and the dogs loved the yard space, too! We highly recommend her and will be booking her again!!”
“We were visiting Tahoe and needed a sitter last minute for our small Velcro dog for a day. Laura was amazing, our dog promptly claimed her lap as his place of leisure. She took our fur baby on multiple walks and kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and texts. I highly recommend her, she has a beautiful house, a lovely family and an adorably gentle dog.”
“Faith took amazing care of my two cats for week while I was out of town. From the start, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. it She sent daily updates and photos, which really helped ease our mind while we were away. Both of our cats warmed up to her quickly and seem super relaxed the entire time! If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and attentive to look after your pets, she’s the right one!”
“Tim was INCREDIBLE!! We came to Tahoe for a wedding and last minute our plans for our dog’s care fell through. Tim not only took her last minute, but he didn’t just take care of her. He loved on her, took her hiking and to the lake, and made sure we knew she was being well taken care of. I was grateful to know she was in good hands and I never once worried about her the entire time because he was incredibly communicative and sent some great pictures of her. I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the Tahoe area.”
“Scooter, my 3 year old boy dog had the best experience with Andrea, Henry and their whole family. Andrea was a great communicator before and during the stay. Henry took Scooter on so many walks and gave him endless snuggles. Thank you both, Scooter misses you and the chipmunks!”
“Gracie had a great time with Dain and Jade. They provided lots of love, activity and walks. Just what our active girl needs. We were very comfortable leaving her with them for 5 nights.”
“Breanna and Dan were the ultimate dog sitters! Their home is close to beautiful trails, marshes and beaches so it’s like your pup is on a vacation of their own in Tahoe. They took Roo on multiple adventures on her short 24 hour stay and consistently sent me photos and updates. They were very quick to get back to me and coordinating our schedules and booking was super smooth. Roo seemed very at home, comfortable and loved on, I would highly recommend Breanna and Dan as your dog sitters. I will be booking with them for any future Tahoe adventures.”
“Melissa is absolutely incredible and kept me up to date during my trip on how well my Rocket was doing! Couldn’t be more grateful for how caring and attentive Melissa is!!”
“Teeda was amazing. It was our first time using Rover and will definitely be requesting her again. We were sent check ins and updates regularly (most of which were photos), overall very professional. My dog is also shy and with a bit of separation anxiety, and she was quick to ease those nerves. Thank you!”
“We keep booking Kelly as she is wonderful to both of our dogs. She sends lots of pics, lots of updates and very flexible and accommodating. She takes them for hikes, makes sure they each get play time. The dogs love her.”
“Stephanie took amazing care of my pup. I got photo and message updates everyday. It really felt like he became a part of her family for the week. Thank you, Stephanie!”
“Melissa watched our pup while we stayed in a non-dog-friendly house on our first trip to Tahoe. She was responsive, friendly, and able to accommodate us at the last minute when our other sitter canceled. I always feel guilty leaving Frankie with a sitter he doesn't know. But Melissa sent us lots of photos and updates; you could tell Frank was happy and comfortable the whole time. On top of everything, she even sent us home with a cute framed photo of Frankie that we have on our mantel! HIGHLY recommend Melissa - especially for dog owners looking for a guilt-free weekend trip :) We'll definitely be reaching out whenever we're in Tahoe!”
“Adam and Lauren took exceptional care of my boy Davos. He got to run and play in their large yard, they took him hiking and swimming and wore my pup out❤️. Their super easy to organize and communicate with and very accommodating on drop off and pick up times. Happily recommend thrm to take care of your furbabies.”

“Brenna took great care of my kitties, her check-in cards were thorough and she took a bunch of pictures of my kitties. I would absolutely recommend her and would have her watch my animals again! Thank you Brenna!”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of many different animals from baby deer to chickens. I’ve had many different breeds of dogs from an Akita to Great Pyrenees. Currently I have a male cat. I’m pretty flexible in my schedule and can visit during the week( I do have a child I have to pick up in the afternoon.) I can walk and play with dog or cat. As well as check the food & water. I’m pretty flexible with whatever may be needed for care.
About: Growing up we always had multiple cats and I’ve witnessed two liters being born. I love cats because unlike dogs, you have to sometimes gain their love and trust. This entails consistent quality time and love which I am ready to give your purrrfect cat :)
About: Greetings. I’ve had a best friend who was with me everyday for 15 years. I was with her from the beginning to the end. I am sensitive to the needs of our dogs and always very aware of our surroundings. I’m ultra aware of the cayotes up here and all their tricks. With the new smells and distractions for some dogs that are not from here I always feel safer to keep them on leash during our walks. I live alone in a quiet cabin on a quiet street, no traffic and no neighbors. Big fenced back yard and a small gated front porch. I know all the trails in Sierra track as well as the whole area. I’m very flexible and will take care of all the little things that are needed and the unexpected ones that pop up. I know how stressfull it can be traveling and then leaving your best friend with someone. I will communicate with you and make it easy and stress free. It’s a big adjustment not having my sweet girl Francis. I was so used to waking up and she was there, or coming home and she was sitting in my spot waiting for me. Honestly this is good for me having a dog around. It’s helping with this process I’m going through. I am very flexible and available almost anytime and on short notice if life happens. I know how that goes. I know the trails and areas to go that are safe and fun. Im an early riser, and I enjoy mornings walks when it’s nice and quiet with no traffic or crowds of people. I have no problem with taking the pup with me in the car to run a quick errand or even better a day trip somewhere. Some dogs love car rides with the window down and nose out. And some do not. It’s all optional, absolutely no problems leaving him or her at home while I’m out for a sec. I primarily work from home and would be with him/her almost all the time. My dog Francis was a little attached. Maybe loyal is a better word. I was very lucky with her and didn’t have to worry too much. But I learned to never ever let anything happen to her. Very aware of our environment. Cars, other dogs, cayotes, bees , bodies of water and all weather conditions, hot pavement and even to always avoid the drains/grates in the roads ect. I’m not disactred by my phone or anything else. I’ll only feed what the owner approves.
“Nothing had work out due to my work situation but Olivia maintained communication. I haven't really finish the profile yet I was in hurry to introduce my cats to outside world..they've been with me since divorce so I don't know how they react towards others..1 mom 3 babies all girls. I'm testing the water on this site and find it actually might work if I do decided to go out town.”
About: Growing up, I loved taking care of my family's 3 cats. I miss them so much and have since cat-sat my friend's 6 cats (she's even more of a crazy cat lady than I am)! Now that I've moved away from home, I wish I had a cat of my own, but for now, I would love to help take care of your fur baby!
“Alena was perfect. She was thoughtful, flexible with timing and our cat was happy when we got home. We have been on trips when you could tell they did not get attention when you returned, but not this trip. THANK YOU Alena! Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had cats growing up my whole life! My first pet I rescued was a sick kitten, who required daily care as it recovered! Recently started crocheting to create custom clothes for my kitties!
“Katelyn is amazing! She goes above & beyond to make sure your fur babies are well cared for while you’re away. She’s given my family such peace of mind with photo updates, staying in touch, quick responses, & her schedule flexibility. I highly recommend her if you need someone to care for your furry family!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lakeridge
“Kelly is AMAZING. She dog-sat my 3 month old puppy Layla and did a fantastic job. Layla didn't even want to leave at the end of the day. Kelly took the time to do a meet and greet and took lots of notes. She took Layla to a fenced in yard and played with her for hours. She gives all of her attention to her client which i really appreciated.”
About: I’ve always had pets and been around animals since I was young. Since moving to Tahoe I watch animals on a weekly basis, and enjoy every minute! I work remotely and I am able to watch dogs throughout the day. The remote job also allows be to travel and be more attentive to the pets. I am very big on attention and activity. I enjoy walking dogs and playing with them. Or if they prefer to rest and relax, making sure they are comfortable. Either way, understanding the needs of the dog and tailoring the care to them.
“My dogs first sitter & I had a great experience, awesome communication and i got updates throughout which I really appreciated. I felt super safe leaving him with leilah! Will definitely be coming back to her next time around :)”
“Tim T. is amazing! He got us out of a real bind. We were away from home for a wedding. We found out the day before the wedding that we could not leave our dogs in our hotel room. By some miracle, Tim happened to be available with less than a day notice. He picked up our dogs at the hotel. Usually one of our dogs takes a while to warm up to new people. We were nervous but Tim is some sort of dog whisperer! In no time at all, the dogs were in his car and off for a day of fun. They spent the day taking a drive, then a hike, and then relaxing in the lap of luxury at Tim's house. We got photos throughout the day and it was obvious that Tim was the dogs' new favorite person. We were able to enjoy the wedding stress free. Tim returned the dogs to us late at night. It couldn't have been easier. Our only regret is that we live too far away to make Tim our regular sitter. If he's available, don't hesitate! We'd give Tim more stars if we could!”
“My dog loved Melissa (and Obi) so much she did not want to go home! Melissa was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and very professional. Perfect spot for my dog to have a fun day while I was out adventuring in South Lake.”
“Patty & Randy were perfect dog sitters for Beckham. They couldn't have been more welcoming. Beckham is usually a little shy, but he adapted quickly to their beautiful environment and their other three small dogs. We look forward to using their services again. It was a comfort to know he was in loving hands.”
“Teresa was fantastic! We reached out just three days before needing care for our two dogs, and she was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with from the start. She sent us photo updates while we were away, which we really appreciated and gave us peace of mind. We were visiting from out of town, but we come to the area quarterly and will absolutely be using Teresa again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: As lifelong dog owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. We have experience volunteering at the humane society, and have spent the last few years pet sitting dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether they need long walks, playtime, or just some cuddles on the couch, our goal is to stick to your dog's normal routine and treat them like one of our own. Dan and I both work in the restaurant industry, which gives us a flexible schedule. We work 3–4 days a week and often work opposite shifts, so one of us is usually home or available throughout the day. If we do work the same day, our shifts are in the evening, so we still have the entire morning and afternoon to spend with your pet. We make it a priority to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and love so your pet feels comfortable with us. We want every pet to feel at home while in our care. We have a fenced-in backyard and live just minutes from the marsh and beach, which gives us plenty of opportunities for walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime. If your dog prefers to be the only pet or does not do well with other dogs, we are happy to provide care in your home instead. We understand that every owner has their own routines and expectations, and we will always respect your instructions and your pet’s needs. At our home, dogs are welcome on the couch, are surrounded by toys, and can hang out in backyard to sunbathe and roam free. Whether your pet is staying with us or we are caring for them in their own home, our goal is to create a safe, trusting, and stress-free environment for both owner and doggo.
“Stephanie is amazing! Our 10month old husky puppy, Lumi, had an amazing time with her and her very well behaved dogs. I had to reach out to Stephanie on very short notice, and she was more than accommodating! I would recommend her to anyone and will be using her in the future!”
“Jessica was an amazing Rover for our puppy. We dropped her off in the morning at Jessica’s home and picked her up after a day of skiing during our week at Northstar. Jessica was super flexible and very easy to communicate with. She even walked down to the main road to get phoebe when her small street was nearly snowed in. Very accommodating and kind!”
“Adam was the best!!! We were scrambling to get a dog sitter last minute due to some change in family plans and he was the most helpful one! He was even willing to pick up Diesel closer to our destination since we were almost late for our trip. Will definitely book him next time!!”

“Alena is fantastic! We were headed to Dry Tortugas Park in the Florida Keyes for the day and couldn't take our dog "JoJo" with us. The previous day she suggested a meet & greet (which I didn't even know was a "thing"). JoJo connected with her right away. And from the pictures she sent, JoJo is smiling and happy. I would definitely recommend her and would hire her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Nicole, and this is my partner Alex. We both work fully remote! We spent the last few years traveling abroad throughout the America’s and a little bit of Europe. We’ve landed in Lake Tahoe for the foreseeable future! We provide a safe, active, and loving environment for your pets while you’re away. Since we are both fully remote, your fur baby gets consistent attention, not just quick check-ins. Our days naturally include multiple walks (morning, mid-day, and evening), outdoor time, and plenty of downtime for cuddles and relaxation. We live an active lifestyle and love having a furry friends alongside us and we’re just as intentional about creating a calm, secure space at home so your pet feels comfortable and settled. We’ve cared for pets for over 15 years, including friends, family, Rover clients and other pet sitting platforms while abroad, in both our home and theirs. We’re very attentive and always know where your pet is, so you never have to worry about safety or supervision. Our goal is simple: when you’re away, your pet isn’t just being watched, they’re having their own little vacation. If you’re looking for reliable, communicative sitters who will treat your pet like their own, we’d love to help. Our daily step goal is 8-10k steps so walks are a breeze starting first thing in the morning and after every meal. Nicole loves to create a calm environment in the home and cozy up on the couch. Alex is very active and will go for hikes, longer walks, and loves play. We have stairs in our home that lead down to our bedroom as well as to get down to the front door. If your pup has mobility issues, they’ll need to be okay with being carried up and down, just let us know.

About: As an Adventure Specialist, I offer your pet much more than standard neighborhood walks; I provide enrichment hikes and structured play designed to satisfy both their mind and body. I am highly proficient in reading dog body language to ensure safety in new environments and adapt the pacing and duration of our adventures to suit your pet's specific needs. For shy or anxious friends, I bring a reliable calm energy that fosters a quick, loving, and trusting bond. You can always depend on my professional commitment, which includes strict punctuality and adherence to all routines, expert handling of customized care (such as medication or specific diets), and preparedness with basic pet first aid. Most importantly, I guarantee your peace of mind through prompt, detailed communication, including photo and text updates of all our happy adventures! Pet care isn't just a part of my schedule; it is my schedule. As a full-time sitter, my days are structured around the needs of my animals under my care. This means there are no conflicting work meetings or commutes, allowing me to fully commit to your pet's schedule. I dedicate morning, midday, and evening blocks specifically to walks, feedings, and play sessions, with plenty of time in between for communication and customized care. When choosing House Sitting, your pet receives my full commitment to deliver Epic Adventures and Warm Hugs right in their familiar environment, which I think is the best choice for anxious or multi-pet homes. As your pet sitter, I like to get a detailed overview of your pets' exact routine (meals, beds, schedule) so I can minimize stress and ensure maximum comfort. Our days are filled with Heartfelt Hikes on familiar trails, keeping our adventures safe and enriching, and all potty breaks are timely and consistent. Beyond premium pet care, you gain added home security and peace of mind, as I handle basic home needs like mail and plant care with the same professional attention.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life, which means caring for four-legged family members is second nature to me. As my family and friend’s resident dog sitter, I have hands on experience with pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities from high energy giants to tiny couch potatoes. I am passionate about keeping dogs active and healthy, so you can count on me to provide plenty of outdoor time and engaging walks. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and providing them with a safe, fun, and loving environment while you're away! As a full-time remote worker, my schedule is highly flexible! Pet care fits seamlessly into my day, allowing me to offer reliable windows for walks and drop-ins. My 'portable' office also makes me a great fit for house sitting, as I can work right from your home and keep your pet company. Weekends are equally open and flexible for whatever your pet needs! I believe the best environment for a pet is one that closely mirrors their usual routine. Whether I am house sitting or dropping in, I strictly follow your specific guidelines for feeding and house rules. During house sittings and drop-ins, I respect your home as if it were my own—keeping things clean, secure, and locked up. When we are out on walks, your dog will always be kept on a secure, standard leash, and I maintain a strict 'no greeting' policy with unfamiliar dogs to prevent any unpredictable interactions. I am deeply observant of body language to ensure your pet is happy, comfortable, and never stressed. I also believe that communication builds trust, so you can always expect timely photo updates and detailed Rover cards after every visit!

I have a dog of my own who is extremely friendly and loves having new friends to adventure with! I strive to give your pet the best care while you are away!
About: taking care of attention to detail and listening to the small stuff that really makes a big difference. Being a clear communicator about all aspects of care It is important to make time for the animals because they have bodily rhythms and clocks that do not change just because someone else is in care I make sure to walk around the home slowly anticipating that the cat will try to trip me up. I am careful to hear all the noises from the animals

About: Hi! I’m Georgette — a lifelong animal lover and Tahoe resident since 2008 with over 6 years of regular pet-sitting experience. I’m calm, patient, and active, and I love spending time outside keeping pets happy, exercised, and engaged. I work well with high-energy breeds, large dogs, and multi-pet households. I care for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and seniors, and I’m comfortable giving both oral and injectable medications. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in your home (no boarding). Visits and walks are typically 30 minutes, and I am available throughout the South Lake Tahoe/Stateline area. As a self-employed web designer, I’m reliable, communicative, and flexible with scheduling. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. You’ll always get updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m self-employed as a web designer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan my work around pet visits, walks, and overnights. That means I can be consistent with timing, responsive to changes, and fully present when I’m caring for your pets — not rushing in between other commitments. I enjoy being outside and active, so walks and check-ins are something I genuinely look forward to each day. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in their own familiar environment and routines. During visits and overnights, I focus on keeping things consistent with what your pets are used to — feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and quiet time. I make sure dogs get proper exercise and attention, and cats get the calm, respectful care they prefer. I keep litter boxes, food areas, and living spaces tidy, and I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes for safety. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are comfortable and well cared for.
About: I've had pets ever since I was a kid, but my current place doesn't allow pets and life almost feels incomplete! I would love to take your pet on an adventure or provide in-home care :) All of my dogs have been hiking dogs and I am a big hiker myself, so I can also take more active/energetic dogs on hikes if needed! I am usually available all day on Mondays, in the evenings Tues-Thurs, and it varies on Fridays and Saturdays. Please reach out for specific dates :) I can walk your dog in your neighborhood or drive them to a dog-friendly trail for a hike if they need more exercise! I can care for your cat or other pets in your home as well :)

They treated our dogs like their own and sent us lots of updates, photos and videos of our dogs during their stay. Our dogs looked SO HAPPY and clearly LOVED Gina and Erik. During a thunderstorm, one of our dogs was scared and Gina made a rub of essentials oils to help calm him, and Erik gave him hugs on the couch. They gave them such love, pets and hugs and we couldn't have asked for better dog sitters during our time in Tahoe. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you Gina and Erik!”
About: Hello! I’m a local dental hygienist that will treat your pet as if it’s my own. I am a healthy balance of being active and outdoorsy as well as a homebody, so I am able to adjust my daily routine to meet your pet’s needs/wants! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! I work Monday and Tuesday from 7:30 to 5 and Wednesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 3. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, day care and overnight stays any times that do not fall within those timeframes. Message me!:) I grew up on 40 acres where we always had a lot of animals including dogs of many kinds and cats. I have a lot of patience and understanding when it comes to pet care and safety. I will always care for any animal as if it is my own!
“Faith took amazing care of my two cats for week while I was out of town. From the start, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. it She sent daily updates and photos, which really helped ease our mind while we were away. Both of our cats warmed up to her quickly and seem super relaxed the entire time! If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and attentive to look after your pets, she’s the right one!”
“Tim was INCREDIBLE!! We came to Tahoe for a wedding and last minute our plans for our dog’s care fell through. Tim not only took her last minute, but he didn’t just take care of her. He loved on her, took her hiking and to the lake, and made sure we knew she was being well taken care of. I was grateful to know she was in good hands and I never once worried about her the entire time because he was incredibly communicative and sent some great pictures of her. I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the Tahoe area.”
“Scooter, my 3 year old boy dog had the best experience with Andrea, Henry and their whole family. Andrea was a great communicator before and during the stay. Henry took Scooter on so many walks and gave him endless snuggles. Thank you both, Scooter misses you and the chipmunks!”
“Breanna and Dan were the ultimate dog sitters! Their home is close to beautiful trails, marshes and beaches so it’s like your pup is on a vacation of their own in Tahoe. They took Roo on multiple adventures on her short 24 hour stay and consistently sent me photos and updates. They were very quick to get back to me and coordinating our schedules and booking was super smooth. Roo seemed very at home, comfortable and loved on, I would highly recommend Breanna and Dan as your dog sitters. I will be booking with them for any future Tahoe adventures.”
“Teeda was amazing. It was our first time using Rover and will definitely be requesting her again. We were sent check ins and updates regularly (most of which were photos), overall very professional. My dog is also shy and with a bit of separation anxiety, and she was quick to ease those nerves. Thank you!”
“We keep booking Kelly as she is wonderful to both of our dogs. She sends lots of pics, lots of updates and very flexible and accommodating. She takes them for hikes, makes sure they each get play time. The dogs love her.”
“Stephanie took amazing care of my pup. I got photo and message updates everyday. It really felt like he became a part of her family for the week. Thank you, Stephanie!”
“Melissa watched our pup while we stayed in a non-dog-friendly house on our first trip to Tahoe. She was responsive, friendly, and able to accommodate us at the last minute when our other sitter canceled. I always feel guilty leaving Frankie with a sitter he doesn't know. But Melissa sent us lots of photos and updates; you could tell Frank was happy and comfortable the whole time. On top of everything, she even sent us home with a cute framed photo of Frankie that we have on our mantel! HIGHLY recommend Melissa - especially for dog owners looking for a guilt-free weekend trip :) We'll definitely be reaching out whenever we're in Tahoe!”
“Adam and Lauren took exceptional care of my boy Davos. He got to run and play in their large yard, they took him hiking and swimming and wore my pup out❤️. Their super easy to organize and communicate with and very accommodating on drop off and pick up times. Happily recommend thrm to take care of your furbabies.”
“Teresa was great with my dog Pappy- she listened to what he liked and was able to take him trail hiking to play in the creek away from other dogs. She sent me photos and videos each day and made me feel at ease that he was well taken care of. Will definitely call her again should the need arise!”
“Nicole was amazing. It was the first time we used the app and she was such a doll. So caring and sweet with our 5 month old puppy. She sent us picture updates which made us feel so at ease. The true testament of how great she was when we got him home, he was so calm and content which I think shows of how well he was looked after with her. There will definitely be more stays in the future with Nicole.Thanks again!”
“Boomer had a great time with Christina and her family. She sent pics of him while he was in her care which made us feel even more comfortable leaving him. We would definitely leave him with Christina again.”
