Ticey stayed with our dogs when we went out of town, and we couldn't have been more impressed and pleased. She came over before we left, to meet the dogs and see where everything was located. Wow!!! The dogs instantly liked her, even our rescue dog who is normally very shy and standoffish. It was one of those times when animals instinctively know a good, kind person when they meet one! We have three dogs all with different needs; one gets daily medication, for example. Ticey handled everything flawlessly and it was evident that she was kind and gentle with the dogs. When we returned home, they were all very attached to her. Some people are good with animals, but Ticey's love for them is what makes her so outstanding. It is also worth mention that Ticey left our house exactly as we left it. She took it upon herself to be respectful of our property, and we greatly appreciated her maturity. Ticey's care for our dogs and our home was excellent, and we recommend her without hesitation.
