Reviews
LaTrece was an excellent communicator and you could tell she truly loves and cares for your pet when in her care. We will definitely use her again!
Highly recommend. Timely, efficient, great communicator.
Latrece was an excellent sitter for my 2 dogs. She exercised them and during the short amount of time attempted to train one of them. She is welcomed to sit with them again.
We were traveling through and needed a few nights, and LaTrece came to our rescue. She was so helpful by taking our two dogs and caring for them with lots of care. She even gave our boy a Benadryl for his allergies (with our approval) and our girl needed meds twice a day. All of these great things and what a pleasant person she is, I wish she was my neighbor. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
