For an owner of an older, but neurotic black lab, Brooke introduced a whole new concept to us;. vacations should be relaxing and fun. You should not feel guilt- ridden or worried about leaving our dog at a kennel, or concerned about leaving your house empty. This is truly one of the best ideas in pet care and house sitting, where individuals can pickup a few extra dollars. Brooke was a trooper with Mattie, who can be a real handful sometimes. We were worried about getting a call to begin with, but quickly got over it! It was the first really relaxing trip we've had for a long time. Thanks so much, Brooke.............we were so relieved to hear you say you'd like to come back!! We'd like that too, Brooke. Us too, Brooke.
