My dog was in very good hands with Lee and his wife. They were both so lovely! Lee was communicative, detailed in his updates and I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with him. He is not just a dog sitter, he is a serious and responsible dog lover who understands dogs and tries his best to make my dog feel at home during its stayover. No doubt about it, I will definitely go back to Lee as my trusted dog sitter!

Dolly was the first Dogsitter I left my dog with, and I couldn't have wished for a better person to leave my lovely but, at times, difficult dog Grace with. Dolly understood exactly how to interact with my dog, and in no time won her trust and love.vwhenni picked her up again, I could really see my dog was very find of Dolly. Dolly also didn't get nervous about the fact that my dog shows aggressive behavior to other dogs on walks. Dolly and I had a good conversation about my dog's behavior, and she immediately understood how to handle it. When it started raining for a couple of days, my dog got bored a bit. What I found very professional is that she then texted me for tips about fun things to do with my dog inside the house. The fact that I knew Dolly would contact me if something was up, made me be able to completely be worry free during my holiday. Dolly is also a very lovely person, with a super good energy towards animals. I strongly recommend her as your pet sitter!!! Ivo
