Sophia M.
“When I first got my dog Bear, he was only about 8 weeks old and still very much in the middle of potty training and adjusting to a routine. About a month later, my friend watched him for a week while I was away, and she did such an amazing job with him. She was so patient, gentle, and consistent, and I could tell she really cared about helping him feel safe and comfortable. Bear completely bonded with her during that time, and to this day, he gets so excited every time he sees her. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”
