Andy was wonderful with our dog Harley. I would highly recommend him for dog sitting. Glad to have found a sitter nearby for our next trip out of town.

Athqiya was fabulous! She kept me updated while my pup was in her care and she made sure that he had a safe & fun filled day! Would DEFINITELY recommend her to care for your canine companion! Thanks Athqiya!

Athqiya did such a great job with our pup! He was even sad to leave her when we picked him up from his two night boarding! She sent us pictures and videos throughout his boarding to let us know he was okay and she was very interested in the things that she needed to know about him. She was very kind upon our meeting and we will be using her again in the future! Our pup is very exhausted now and has slept ever since being home! His fun stay wore him out!
