“Brianna did great with my little anxious senior girl. She sent pictures and kept me up to date with how she was doing. I left for the evening knowing my dog was in great hands! Very kind and attentive sitter!”
“Leo took great care of our dog and our house. He sent photos to us everyday, and our dog so looked so happy I thought the pup wouldn't want us to return home. Leo was good with communication. It is obvious Leo loves dogs. I would highly recommend him!”
“Sean was amazing! He pulled thru at 10ish pm after my other sitter up and left without warning or explanation. He saved my vacation and even better he gave the dogs a great time. Everything was clean and in its place when I got back. Animals seemed content also, great pics that added to them seeming very comfortable with him. Great communication also. ? Definitely hiring him again for my pups. Amazing experience.”
