6. Stevie C.
“Stevie watched my year-old American bully for eight days. He does not like strangers and she was able to get him trained to where we could actually walk in through the store without him barking at people or lunging at them. she taught me different tricks to use with him and he was a completely different dog by the time I got back from vacation. I actually have her set up to watch him again in the near future and she is the only one that I trust with him. She was very gentle and took time to get to know him and for him to get comfortable. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a sitter or even a dog walker your fur baby will definitely be in good hands!”
