From the start, Lisa was the perfect babysitter for us. She arrived on time, communicated with us throughout the night, and even sent photos along the way. Our son Chase (8mos) loved spending time with her and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

She took care of our dog; she did not give many updates while she was boarding our dog and only sent 2 pictures in 4 days.
On the other hand, our puppy looked happy when we picked her up and that is what should matter. I would definitely do it again.
