PHighly Recommended - Exceptional Care from an Experienced Dog Lover!
I recently engaged Geraldine to care for my puppy Hershey for two separate boarding periods (December 1-11 and December 14-23), and I couldn’t be more impressed with the outstanding service provided. Geraldine is clearly a very experienced dog lover, and it showed in every aspect of her care throughout both stays.
What impressed me most was Geraldine’s unwavering attention to detail and genuine dedication across both boarding periods. She provided daily updates on Hershey, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. Beyond just feeding and walking, Geraldine went above and beyond - she cleaned Hershey’s feeding pot, carefully cleaned his paws, and even took care of his ear cleaning. These thoughtful actions demonstrated her commitment to maintaining Hershey’s hygiene and overall wellbeing.
The fact that Hershey settled in comfortably during both stays speaks volumes about Geraldine’s consistency and the trust she built with my puppy. Upon my return after each boarding period, Hershey was happy, healthy, and clearly at ease. It’s obvious that my puppy was in loving, capable hands throughout both experiences.
Geraldine’s professionalism, reliability, and genuine care for animals make her an exceptional pet sitter. I would absolutely engage Geraldine again without hesitation and highly recommend her services to any pet owner looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and thorough care.
Thank you, Geraldine, for taking such wonderful care of my fur baby twice this month!

LWe had an amazing experience with our pet sitter, Evelyn.
She is extremely responsible and patient, and it’s clear that she has a genuine love for dogs in the way she cares for them. She even brought my dog out to cafes and made sure he was happy and comfortable.
Best is that she knows how to handle different dogs with different needs.
She was very responsive and provided frequent updates, which gave us great peace of mind.
Her place is also very suitable for pets, with a garden where my dog could move around and enjoy himself.
We felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
