“Bri was fantastic with my pups! It was so great being able to go on vacation and not have a single worry that my dogs were in great hands. I received daily photos and videos! She also gave my house a clean before I got home, which was such a relief after a long day of traveling. I definitely plan to have Bri watch my pups again!”

“Andrew is a great communicator, arrives on time, sends creative photos, and most importantly, takes great care of our pup! Thanks Andrew, we appreciate you!”
3. Dena D.
“I'm a dog groomer of 10 years, and I know it takes a certain kind of person to be trustworthy and reliable with your pets! Dena is a very kind, calm and gentle person, not only in personality but also body language which is important to make sure your pets feel safe with someone they're not familiar with yet. Not only is Dena reliable but also amiable, empathetic, considerate and welcoming. I'd 100% trust her in my home and with my pets who are the type that need to warm up to someone before being comfortable”
