“What we most loved about Hailey was how quickly our animals took to her — our dogs were leaning against her within minutes, and even the cats who hide came out and let her pet them the very first night! It was comforting to leave our pets in the care of someone who clearly loves and understands animals. And though we ended up rushed and didn't have as much time as I wanted to orient her, she perfectly remembered and followed all instructions. We've already booked her again.”
“I’m very happy to have arranged for Will to dog/house sit. He was clearly very attentive to Ruby and Mika during my 36 hour get away, and did his best to help them feel comfortable in his presence. He listened well to details for their care and provided me with updates and photos over the course of his time with the dogs. He left the house in great shape. I highly recommend Will if you need a dog sitter.”
“Chad makes each stay with Gracie an enriching and fun experience for her while incorporating positive reinforcement training into every interaction. I've had multiple canine companions for many years but I always learn something new just by watching Chad interact with her. It's a pleasure and relief to leave home knowing everything is in Chad's capable hands. Chad is punctual, attentive, knowledgeable, and responsible, and he speaks dog (even husky). He provides informative and entertaining updates and we come home to a relaxed and content dog who is happy to see us but disappointed when Chad leaves.”
“We have had Bev take care of our precious dog Clover a few times and all of those times have been uneventful and easy. Bev sends pictures while we are gone and we love that. Thanks Bev!!”
“It is clear that Georgia loves animals. Our dog was well cared for, the house was spotless on our return, and she kept in touch throughout our trip. Would have back in a heartbeat!!”
“I am so grateful for the care provided for our cats! It felt clear that she understood how to meet and make each cat comfortable! I believe our cats felt supported and safe because August did everything to keep the cats routines. We feel so grateful and will book again!”
“Anna was outstanding and so kind, responsive and communicative always and took excellent care of our 2 year old black lab Zelda. She was here dog/house sitting for a week and a half and went out of her way to help with our late departure/arrival days, and sent us numerous updates and photos and was so nice and positive about Zelda! I would 100% plus recommend her and hope she can house/dog sit for us again. We were really nervous to leave Zelda for the first time and Anna made it all okay and we are so thankful for that (and for her)!”
