Fortino has watched Rosie a couple of times now and is great! He provides regular updates, and Rosie comes home happy & tired. Would recommend and plan to keep using!

Fortino did great watching my dog, Dio! Sent lots of pictures and even made a trail of blankets for Dio, who is nervous on hard floors!

Fortino is great!!! He took excellent care of Bernie and gave me updates on how things were going. He’s right across the street from a park - and in a very walkable area. I’m already booking Bernie’s next vacation there!
