First, our dog Sugar is like many pets....she is part of our family. So keep that in mind when reading this review. We were fortunate to have Halee Story watch Sugar for us. Her heart, like those of my wife and daughters, is big. She greeted Sugar with the same level of love and caring as we do. She is trust-worthy and had not concerns at all for giving her keys to our home....sometimes for a week or more.....to take care of Sugar. The proof is in the pudding. When we took Sugar to the kennel we would pick her up and she would be anxious...almost neurotic really. What did we find when Halee watched Sugar? A relaxed, but happy-to-see us, Sugar. This tells me not only does Halee do the basic (feed, water, let outside to do her business) but she actually spends time with Sugar....petting and interacting with her. Halee is our favorite pet sitter. She, like many young productive people, has a busy schedule....so we have others to pet set too. BUT if you can get Halee.....you won't regret it. We are a very grateful family.....including Sugar! Thanks Halee!!!
