Summer has been my go-to pet sitter ever since she was in high school, and now I use her services when she is back in her hometown for the summer or breaks! She makes my two dogs feel loved and comfortable, and I completely trust her to stay in my house whenever I leave. Bonus--Summer cleans my house before I come back, too! She is a great person and a great dog sitter! Both of my dogs get excited when I merely say her name, and they both go crazy whenever she stops over!”
