15. michelle k.
“Michelle was a past student of mine, but I didn’t know that until I met her!! She was friendly, and I could tell she loved what she did. I knew my dog, Otto, liked her!! I knew I would be leaving Otto in good hands. When I came home, I could tell Otto was well cared for! I would hire Michelle again, and I recommend her!”
16. Mary C.
“Mary is the dog whisperer. Kind and loving, she treats all pups like her kids. I’ve seen her raise dogs from puppies and greet new dogs with open arms. With her experience in walking dogs and her love for the extension of your family, she’s a wonderful choice. Meet her in person and you’ll know in a matter of minutes that there is no one better to babysit your 4 legged friends. Long walks, snow, trails, nothing bothers this dog walker.”
