I highly recommend Arrianne Goodwin as an animal sitter, and want you to know that if I had my choice of anyone to take care of our animals, I'd ask for her. We travel a few times a year and I have not found anyone as dependable and conscientious towards our animals as Arrianne was. Arrianne watched our dogs, cats, and chickens for over 3 years, and has since moved away and we really miss her. So do our dogs! She took excellent care of our animals and always went beyond the call of duty. I never worried about our dogs being stuck at home bored or getting into trouble with Arrianne around. She took them on outings to fun places, and they were always in good spirits when we got home from travel. They were always really excited when she'd come over because they felt the loving care she treated them with. We have one dog who is wary about most people, but even she loved Arrianne from the start! Every time we travel now I think of her with nostalgia and wish she still lived near us!
