“Glendon is so GREAT !!!! He has helped us so many times and we would never think of not having him watch our dogs, who absolutely ADORE him! We trust Glendon with our home and beloved dogs and wholeheartedly recommend him to EVERYONE !! Thank you GLENDON !”
“Couldn't have been better! Karen was awesome with our furry kids. They absolutely loved having her for a visit as did we. Part of me hates leaving such a great review for fear Karen will be booked when we need her....but fair is fair. We'll definitely be calling upon her again, and soon!”
“Extremely flexible with the last minuteness of our trip, scheduled a meet and greet beforehand even with a busy schedule, took excellent care of our dog while away, followed instructions, and went above and beyond to pick up our house afterwards. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
“Emily was amazing! She's very communicative, seemed genuinely thrilled to get to know our animals, and left our house exactly as she found it. Loved having her pet sit for us and will definitely request her in the future. Thank you Emily!”
“Jasmine was so sweet and caring with Kiwi. Kiwi has some special needs, she has separation anxiety and is in the beginning stages of degenerative myelopathy. Jasmine took great care of Kiwi and even got her through a thunderstorm. We are so glad that Jasmine became Kiwi's friend. Jasmine is patient and her demeanor is so cool and collected. We are very thankful for Jasmine keeping Kiwi safe and loved.”
“Sydney petsit in our home this past week, taking care of our cat and dog. She was incredibly responsive and sent sweet pictures of our pets throughout our trip. Our neighbors often pitch in to help with each other's pets, and Sydney coordinated with these neighbors to provide seamless care. Definitely will be working with Sydney again!”
“Rachel was wonderful! She looked after our pups when we went for a day sail and they were happy and content when we returned. She was very thoughtful and calm with our slightly nervous Aussie Shepherd X and kept us updated throughout the day. Thank you Rachel!”
“Elizabeth was phenomenal! She came by a day early to meet apollo and understand what his needs and routines were. I recieved plenty of pictures of apollo while I was away whether they were just playing in the house or out on walks around the neighborhood. Then upon returning home I walked into a freshly cleaned house. I would recommend using Elizabeth 150%. I will use her service again the next time I need them. 5/5 stars”
