Monique J.
“Monique is WONDERFUL! I actually met her at her job, Petland. I was shopping for a new collar and some toys for my boxer mix and I was going on about how I was trying to find someone to watch him for the weekend while I went away on business, and she mentioned that she actually did dog sitting and would love to do it. The next day I met with her and my little Billy got to see her house and meet her dogs, everyone immediately hit it off amd it was set! She sent me LOADS of pictures and videos of Billy having fun with her and her dogs, even ahowing me that she took him to the pool. It really helped reassure me, especially since this is the first time spending the weekend away from him. She really is the greatest and her love for dogs is evident.”


Alaska Y.
“Where can I start?!?! Alaska is absolutely amazing. She comes to my home when my girl is all by herself and rescues her from loneliness to enjoy her company. My girls get so excited when she hears her coming up the stairs and greets Alaska with lots of hugs and kisses. Sometimes I’m jealous of how happy my girl gets and I think she loves Alaska more than me. She takes her out for walks, rides, playtime, and she even gets special doggy ice cream dates. And let’s not forget to mention a nice doggy bath. She updates me with pictures daily and just melts my heart to see she’s so happy. She has even made a run to my house when I was stuck at work and worried about my girl when it wasn’t her scheduled time. She sat at my house with her, hand feeding her to get her to eat. She really shows love and compassion for animals and I was so lucky to have found her. She has given me great advice when I’ve questioned things going on and always had an answer.”


AlexMatthew M.
“Al has been a great help with my dog Onyx for over a year. He is always on time and she loves him! Sometimes I have to travel out of state to see family and she does not like road trips so he will come over spend time with her, walk her and feed her. He is gentle and patient with her and plays with her when I can't be there with her. Highly recommend.”


Kaitlyn B.
“Kaitlyn is truly one of a kind. She cared for our two dogs and two cats like they were her own — with so much love, patience, and attention to detail. We came home to happy pets and a peaceful home, and it meant the world to us. Knowing they were in her hands gave us total peace of mind. We’d trust her again in a heartbeat!”
