4. Darlene K.
“Darlene is wonderful! We have a 12 year old lab & was a little nervous leaving him because he hasn't been feeling too well. She not only met Hurley ahead of us going on vacation, but welcomed him back with love. The daily pics of him & texts from her really allowed us to put our fears aside so we could relax and enjoy ourselves. We are so glad we found her and will no longer fear leaving town.”

“Amazing experience! It is very clear how much she loves animals and how much mine loves her. Reliable, trustworthy and excellent communication. I highly recommend her!”
6. ADRIENNE & Nicholas M.
“Adrienne and Nick were over the top fantastic sitters for The Doods, Toby + Dexter. They kept them entertained, playing all their favorite games and making sure Dexter didn’t eat any grass. The couch cuddles and TV time was exactly what they were used to and made them feel comfortable. Adrienne knew they liked to dress up and surprised us by creating custom bandannas for them both. All the funny messages and pictures reassured us that they were well taken care of while we were gone. The Doods are already looking forward to their next stay with them.”
