“I am so glad we found Gladys for our Bing Bing! It was the first time we ever used Rover and left him with someone we did not know; but as soon as we met Gladys at the Meet a& Greet, we immediately felt at ease and comfortable leaving Bing Bing in her care. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Gladys' home is spotless and she has the perfect set up for all the furbabies out on her side patio -- we knew Bing Bing would love it out there! She took the time to get to know Bing Bing and we received photos and update throughout his stay. She is also very quick to answer! Thank you so much Gladys for your care and Bing Bing is excited to come visit you again soon!!”
