“Hannah and I worked together a few years back. We use to do farm work, clean barns, ride horses, etc. for a remote vet clinic.

She is very nice and loving towards all animals!”

18. Victoria B.
“I went to high school with Victoria and she was always so kind-hearted and gentle. We have been friends for a long time now and I can honestly say I would trust her as much as my own family, even more than most of my family members, to take care of my pets and even my children. She is trustworthy and very friendly to people as well as animals. I think Victoria would suit this job very well, knowing how much of a hard worker she is and how big her love is for animals. I know you would not regret hiring her. You will find she is a wonderful addition to your team. Another positive note about her, is that she rarely ever complains. She does the work asked of her and she works efficiently. Please consider hiring her. Best regards”
19. Kaleigh D.
“Kaleigh has a special relationship with animals and their humans. She understands pets are family and loves them as her own. Kaleigh gets to know each animal’s personality and genuinely cares about their preferences and routine. As someone who has a dog that is very particular with people and has special needs including medication, this put me at ease. My dog Cooper and Kaleigh formed an instant bond which made it enjoyable for us all whenever I was away. Not to mention, I always came back to a clean home, just as I left it! She provided updates about the fun things they did and always included the important details about mealtimes, meds, and potty breaks, quickly notifying me of any changes or concerns. I could always tell Cooper loved when Kaleigh came to visit…he even does the cutest head tilt when I mention her name! Kaleigh will quickly go from being a your dog sitter to your dog’s new best friend!!”
