    Emi watched my 2 dogs when I was in Tahoe. She did a wonderful job!!! She sent me daily updates with pictures. The dogs seemed very relaxed and happy when I came home. I will definitely be using their service again!!!

    Thank you from Shannon, Bandit, and Brady

    This is the first time I've hired any dogsitting service.  Eager to find someone with a good reputation but reasonable price, I emailed Emi, who I saw also owned a Maltese mix.

    Emi was prompt and cheerful in her replies and immediately set up a meet and greet.  She took notes of everything Rufus needed and she was already familiar with my neighborhood, right down to how to unlock our finicky doors.  After the meet and greet, Rufus sat by the front door for more than 30 minutes waiting for her to come back.

    I had worries about leaving Rufus because he was sick just the week before my trip, but I left him in very capable hands with Emi.  She emailed me updates after every visit and attached the most adorable photos of him.  I felt totally at ease and could concentrate on school all week without worry.

    I've since hired Emi 2 more times, and I would definitely recommend them for any pet services you may need!

    I am also a pet sitter and dog walker, and met Emi at a pet CPR class.

    I had her take care of my 2 little dogs while we were away on a weekend trip. She sent me texts and pics, to keep me updated, it was great. I know my pups were getting great care with Emi.

    Emi also fills in to help me at times, and always does a great job, and is very reliable.

    Call Sniff and Go!!

    When my husband and I go out of town we usually have my mom come and take care of the animals. We heard about Sniff and Go through a friend of ours and after hearing how great they were we thought we'd give mom a break ;)

    Emi came over to meet our furry friends (3 cats and 1 dog) and i was very impressed by her from the start. She's very professional and the animals all seemed to love her right off the bat! I love that she emailed us with photos and updates of how they were all doing. It set my mind at ease and allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation.

    Upon returning, my husband and i talked about maybe having the Sniff and Go folks come walk our dog on a regular basis. After our experience with them during our vacation, we had decided to hire them to walk Red (our 93 lb rhodesian ridgeback) on a regular basis. It's clear that he really enjoys and benefits from his time with Emi and her staff, as he is knocked out in the early evening.

    I would highly recommend Sniff and Go to anyone looking for a great dog walker/sitter.

    OK Yelp... this may be the most serious review I'll ever compose. I don't mean serious in a weird "I tell people I have two kids and they later find I really mean cats" kinda a way, but I take the responsibility of having pets to heart. I feel lucky to be able to have pets and that concern is one of prime importance. I don't "own" them, they're my little roommates.

    Holiday times are tough, friends travel. This is the first time I'd hit a brick wall and didn't know what to do. I've never even lived with random roommates because I would straight freak out on someone if they let my cats out or forbid something else should happened.

    I needed a cat sitter, stat (everything sounds more important with medical lingo). Someone to check in and feed my little homies. Emi from Sniff and Go is a rookie in this here game of pet care, but it's the personality I was looking for. I don't care if you've walked dogs for 20 years, I can tell if you don't really dig it. Emi visited and I showed her the place, gave her the spiel, and she absorbed it all no problems. She was comfortable, and my cats didn't tweak out and hide under the bed. Good signs.

    I pass her the keys to casa de Justin N and off I go on my trip *fingers crossed*...

    On cue, both days, I got my text updates. Hard food topped off, catnip doled out, tuna delivered. Picture messages showing the cats gobbling food and strutting about at ease.

    My sigh of relief was awkwardly loud.

    I got home, everything as I left it, including two chipper cats and a professional Sniff and Go invoice awaiting me in the inbox. So much cheaper than notable competition.

    I really can't thank her enough. I can get away with 2 day jaunts but a 5 day trip is too much without intervention. I finally found someone to allow me to take a trip here and there without worrying about the cats. $20 a visit is infinitely worth the piece of mind I get knowing my cats are safe, full, and rolling in their catnip. If they could talk I'm sure they'd thank her too.

    Emi from Sniff and Go looks after my dogs Boudicca and Jules Verne and she is Awesome!

    From the first time I met her I had a very good feeling about her, she is so sweet and vibrant I knew she would take good care of my pups.  And the first impression was right, she has done a wonderful job.

    After she comes to walk the dogs she sends me an email or sms with the details of how the dogs were and what happened while she was with them.

    I can't speak highly enough of Emi.  If you are looking for a dogwalking or dogsitting service you should definitely try Sniff and Go!

    Emi cared for our cats while we were on a summer vacation, and again, she was great.  She sent regular updates and pictures.  When we returned home, our cats were happy and healthy. Excellent service from a great pet sitter!

    Emi is great!  Professional, timely and technology savvy.  She's a breeze to work with and has a real enthusiasm for taking care of your pet.  I even get picture text messages, which I love.  After trying several dog walkers, I would recommend her above the others.
