Thank you so much Alyiah for making me feel so comfortable and making this whole experience so much better!”
14. Betul B.
About: We have had a dog and a cat at home since I can remember. When I was a high school student, I was going to work at the veterinary clinic on our street during summer holidays. I’m not working. So I’ll be available everyday in a week, I just need to know if anything change before appointment to change my schedule for rest of the day. I have a fenced huge yard. I have a huge place for running around, you’ll love it. My bedroom has a door opening to backyard mean is, it’s amazing for emergency times. And I have no problem with your dog sleeping on my bed, if he/she likes to sleep in the bed. One more thing, I have so many experience with the big dogs as well.

16. Daniel H.
“Daniel took care of my 12 year old dog while I was away for a week. I’m convinced my dog was so happy because when I picked him up he was whimpering and sad once we returned home. Since then Daniel takes care of my dog every time I leave out of town. I highly recommend Dan! 😃🐶💙”

We are thrilled to have found someone so reliable and caring, and we will definitely be booking him again.”
