When I chose brittne, I was under the impression she lived in a non-smoking home with only one pet. When I arrived, there were 4 other dogs (her mom's) there & ash trays full on the table. She sent lots of pictures & was very nice & I'm sure she didn't harm my baby; however, I thought he'd be with her most of the time, but when I texted to find time to visit my baby, she was always out running errands. This gave me the impression she was not at home with my baby most of the day. I wanted a sitter that would treat my baby as if I did. I don't believe she took him for any walks, only let him back yard. I gave him a bath before I dropped him off & when I picked him up, he had sticker burs in his fur & didn't have the best smell to him. If you just need a place for your dog, then definitely brittne would be the choice, but I think she needs a bit more experience with the boarding thing.
