Audrey M.
“We have been using Audrey as a pet sitter and dog walker for years. We have had wonderful experiences with her and she is very trustworthy and dependable! Audrey is such an animal lover and takes excellent care of our dogs. We completely trust her with our animals and access to our house when we are not there. We have come to depend on Audrey to walk our dogs while me and my husband are at work. She has also kept our dogs while we have been on vacation. Our dogs love when Audrey comes and look forward to each visit. We would (and have) recommend Audrey and her services to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy help with their pets!”
