“Amanda has been awesome for my sweet doggy Shiloh! She’s so flexible with scheduling which I absolutely love, updates with pictures daily of your fur baby playing or enjoying a walk!

“After some horror stories elsewhere, we’re overly cautious about who we leave Oslo with. Annoyingly cautious, honestly. Sara was so kind and accommodating, answering every question & fulfilling every request. She made us so comfortable with the choice to leave our pup in her care and sent pictures and videos throughout the day of Oslo having fun with his new friends. He came back a very happy & tired boy; we’ll definitely rebook.”
