Karen VitaleLocal Guide · 25 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Karen has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
My evenings are so much calmer now. We have a high energy dog who doesn't like other dogs (doggy daycare wouldn't work), so we have been using the drop-in service. She gets a potty break, fresh water, exercise, and attention. A dog-dream-come-true! The communication with the AWESOME pet sitters has been wonderful. I feel very reassured about the security of my home. I didn't hire them as dog trainers, but I'll be danged if she isn't more respectful of visitors and less reactive (less barking) at everything in general now. Yeah, you pay for this service, but if you shop around a little, you will see the pricing is fair, and it has been well worth it for our household. A+ Highly recommend!
