My senior dogs are more excited to see Claire than they are to see me! They love her! And I love how consistent, reliable, kind, and flexible she is. The pics she sends are great, especially of her smart watch that tracks her steps during their walks. She has provided me assurance that my dogs are being exercised by a wonderful person while I'm away, and I can't thank her enough for that peace of mind.
