Traci H.
“I received my dog, Sarah from Traci as gift a few years ago. Sarah came to me fully trained such as listening to commands like sit, stay, walk calmly and even playing fetch taught by Traci. When I traveled, I would drive my dog 4.5 hours to Traci's home in Chicago so she could look after her. Then I would continue my journey. I would not trust or feel safe with anyone else to give my dog a secure place to bunk up while I am out of town. She will provide your pet with better than human treatment (on time feeding, never an empty water bowl, walking, administering meds etc.) Whatever your dog’s special needs are Traci will furnish. Now Traci lives in Hawaii so where can I leave my dog and not feel worried the entire time I am away?”

Maani was fantastic! I have a super loving, separation anxiety filled Pittie and from our first meet and greet with Maani I knew they would hit it off perfectly! She was prompt, communicated well and stayed for as long as she could each visit… she even took him for a walk that evening. I am so thankful to Maani for taking such great care of my babies!
Sajida was WONDERFUL!! She is super friendly and really takes the time to get to know your pet and all the nuances that each of our furry friends have. I received great updates and lots of pictures. My Sasha was in extremely good hands. I definitely recommend Sajida if you need a pet sitter. A+++
