4. Mary C.
“Mary went over and above on her visits with Roxy and Little Roxy. She came morning and night for most of the week on days we arranged. She sent pics of the animals so my daughters would know the dogs were all good. She played ball with the dogs and Roxy even got to swim while Mary was with her. She went as far as throwing some grain into the pasture trough for use. Thanks so much Mary. We will be calling on the next trip. You can't go wrong with Mary!”

15. Corrinne M.
“Corrinne has always been a lover of pets, ever since she was a little girl. I could always trust Corrinne to care for our pets and be responsible for them. Not only does she feed them and keep them hydrated, she makes sure coats are shiny and brushed. Spoils our cats and dogs with back rubs and scratches them behind the ears when they need it. She dedicates time to train our pets lovingly and in a positive manner. Corrine is trustworthy and honest, not only with pets but as a person in general. Has strong work ethics as well as deep moral sense of life and respects life of all beings.”

My dog seemed very relaxed and happy while in the care of Kristin. I will definitely bring my pup back to her anytime I go out of town”
