Sydny & Atiana were amazing for our two girls! We had a pre-scheduled weeklong trip out of town, when our little Millie (doxie) had been just diagnosed with IVDD (disk disease) and was ordered to strict rest, several meds a day, a special diet, and had to be physically carried outside for potty trips, and kept from exerting herself too much. She was in pain, and very needy and anxious, not wanting to be away from a human for more than a few minutes. This was a lot to handle as her owner, but to ask it of someone else, was something I thought would just be too much to ask. I worried that not only was it a lot to ask, but not being around her during such a delicate time, would worsen her condition or slow her healing. But Sydny was very confident and reassuring, offering a meet and greet, asking lots of questions about her status, and reading through lots of detailed info I provided her, as well as did her own research on her diagnosis. Throughout the time we were gone (a week), she provided unprompted updates and pictures (and even videos) about their day together. She shared any concerns or hiccups, but did not ever make me feel burdened by any worries - she always had it handled (for example, when they were unexpectedly low on food, she let me know but totally handled the situation). She gave me a detailed list of their activities, what they ate or didn't eat, potty activities, mood changes and behaviors, and updates on meds. At one point she let me know that her power had gone out, and she was able to get my dogs to air conditioning while they waited it out. I had no doubt while my dogs were in her care, that she wouldn't put their needs first and make them as happy and as comfortable as possible. Many times she would send pics of my dogs on their beds, with her right by their side, since the doxie could not get on furniture and needed physical closeness to feel safe & comfortable. Not only did I feel that my dogs were genuinely loved and cared for by Sydny and Atiana, I feel that they were made to feel even more special and spoiled than when they are at home with me! It was obvious that in their home, they were given a lot of attention and love. And not only did my doxie's condition not get worse, she has improved significantly. I know that is due to time healing, but I also know it is at least in part due to how closely Sydney and Atiana followed the guidelines to keep her from overexerting herself and helped keep her in good spirits. And despite having to tend so closely to her special needs, they were equally as attentive to my other dog :) Since picking them up, Sydny has even asked how they are doing and said she missed them. I would not hesitate to have them watch my dogs again. I hope that one day they can watch our girls when they are feeling 100% themselves and can play and be their happiest for them. But I know that I can also count on Sydny and Atiana to care for my dogs even in their most vulnerable and delicate states, and I don't think that is easy to come by in a dog sitter! I would not hesitate to book them again! So grateful :)
