3. Geneva K.
“We recently had the pleasure of entrusting our pup to the care of Geneva and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment we met Geneva, we could sense her genuine love and passion for animals, and that was reassuring right off the bat. Communication was impeccable. We received regular updates, including photos, which brought us peace of mind knowing that our furry companion was in good hands. It was evident that Geneva took the time to understand our pet's needs and preferences, and she catered to them with care and attention to detail. Overall, we cannot recommend Geneva highly enough. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals makes her an exceptional choice for anyone seeking pet-sitting services. She is truly a gem in the world of pet-sitting!”
4. Honey T.
“I would highly recommend and trust Honey with your fur baby. She was very friendly and fast to respond. She made it easy to drop off my pup by meeting her first and then introducing my dog to her Australian cattle dog. Honey also gave me updates, pictures and videos throughout the day. This eased my mind as It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. I could tell my girl was happy and had a good day. Loved honey, her dog, and how she cared for mine.”

11. James T.
“The biggest worry for us when we take a vacation is care for our dog. James recently took care of our Boston, Bruce, for 11 nights while we were overseas. James is incredibly caring and Bruce was happy and healthy at pickup. He has a nice setup with an enclosed yard, is easy to communicate with, sent pictures throughout and took care of our dog as if Bruce was his own.”

“My dog stayed with Chanel for a little over 2 weeks - she had such a blast! Booking with Chanel was easy, she is attentive, friendly, and I felt that she took care of my dog very well throughout her entire stay with her! I received regular updates from Chanel. My dog went on plenty of outdoor adventures with her and was truly the happiest dog. Chanel was also very accommodating when I needed to extend my dog's stay with her as well as scheduling the pick-up time. Professional, caring, and communicative. I would highly recommend booking a stay with her! Thank you again!”
