7. Amy & James A.

“I recently hired a dog sitter named Amy to take care of my beloved furry friend while I was out of town for a week, and I can confidently say that she did an excellent job. From the moment I met Amy, I could tell that she was a true dog lover and had a natural affinity for animals. Throughout the week, Amy provided me with daily updates and photos of my dog, which really helped put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying about my pet's wellbeing. She took my dog on long walks and even played with him in the backyard, which I know he absolutely loved. One thing that really impressed me about Amy was her attention to detail. She not only followed all of my instructions to the letter but also went above and beyond to ensure that my dog was comfortable and happy. For example, she noticed that my dog was a little anxious at bedtime and spent extra time snuggling with her until she fell asleep. Overall, I would highly recommend Amy as a dog sitter to anyone who is looking for a caring and responsible individual to take care of their pet. Her love for animals, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills make her a top-notch choice. I will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

We highly recommend Monica and plan to request her services the next time we need someone to care for our dog.”
