“Such an amazing person. I can’t recommend her enough. She cleaned watched our 3 pups last minute. Not only that, but she cleaned our home as well. We will be going to Amy from now from now on. Thank you so much ???”
2. Destiny R.
“We had a great experience with Destiny. She looked after our reactive and anxious pup (and our home) for long weekend with minimal orientation or prep, and they formed an amazing bond. Our neighborhood is not easy for dog walking! Destiny was extremely diligent with our dog's daily schedule, needs/wants, med administration, and separation anxiety. It is clear how seriously she takes her responsibilities. Our home was very clean upon our return. We will definitely reach out to Destiny again the next time we need to leave town without our pup.”

She was so committed to ensuring that my dogs were walked, fed and loved. I received photos updates while I was away of my dogs looking happy which helped me feel better about leaving my dogs. She is very kind and trustworthy. Hands down, she is the best “second mom” to my dogs and I know my dogs love her. Couldn’t recommend enough!”

She also did several overnights, including a weeks' vacay. She updated me daily with texts and pictures. She is honest, reliable, trustworthy loves animals and very attentive to my pups needs. I was very sad to know she was leaving. But happy to know she is getting back in the biz!”
