Yolanda has been a very dear friend, part of our family and our dog sitter for at least 12 to 15 years now. We had a beautiful Chesapeake Bay Retriever that was a part of out family that she watched until he passed. We then rescued 2 puppies after our Boy passed. She was such a great part of the love and training with our 2 very energetic puppies ! They are now 7 years old and when I mention that she’s coming to watch them, they go to the door. When we return from our trips , they are happy dogs because they were so loved while we were gone! Her training at the shelters has been such a great part of our dogs being such great members of our family! Her patience, love and dedication have truly been a blessing to our family!

When we took a 10 day cross-country trip over Christmas I was so worried about leaving our dog, Truck. He's an 80lb pit-mix. We thought we had found a family friend who was happy to watch him only to have her back out three weeks before we left! Then Yolanda saved the day! She was all too happy to come stay at our house, over the holidays, with only 3 weeks notice! She sent daily update pictures, took Truck on mini-adventures, even let him cuddle in bed with her. This summer we went on a short getaway and I didn't hesitate to call Yolanda again. She came prepared to cuddle with our boy and it made me so much more comfortable that putting him in a kennel or having a stranger stay with him. She's the only person we call when we need someone to help us out.
