“Sarah is great! We have been using her for two weeks and our on our third week. She is always on time and lets me know how Chloe did when she gets back from her walk.”
“Grace was amazing handling my German Shepard, My dog is sweet but can be intimidating. He is strong and will bark at other dogs on walks so I always worry a little if people will be comfortable walking him. Grace was awesome with him and put me at ease. I’m so glad I found her to help me out and would use her again!”
