“Thank you so much for walking Olav. I can tell he really loves you. Will definitely ask for you again. Would be good to have you walking him regularly.”
16. bailey l.
“Bailey is an extremely responsible caregiver for animals. Being my roommate for nearly 5 years now, she has helped me take care of my own cat when I go out of town, and treats her as her own even when I am there! When it comes to caring for animals, Bailey does much more than the bare minimum of ensuring safety and food. While these are essential, Bailey understands that playing and interacting with animals is equally important. In other words, your pets will not only be taken care of, but they will also have fun playing, going on walks, and interacting. I would highly recommend Bailey to anyone looking for someone to watch their animals!”
