Loren S.
“Loren S took care of two adult German Shepherd dogs for us which we had rescued only a week before. Normally, we would never leave such recently rescued dogs, but we had to, and we had confidence in Loren. Loren took care of both the male and the female, managed medications and their care through a heat wave. Loren also took care of and did the meds for our very elderly cat who needed to be kept separated from the rescue dogs. Upon our return after 10 days, all three animals were relaxed and clearly very much enjoying the attention and company of their caregiver. It was not an easy assignment and Loren really met the challenge. We highly recommend Loren. Christine and Joe F”
