“Bernie is a wonderful dog walker. He has been helping me with my dog for years and is an absolute delight to work with. We have a very large and energetic golden retriever and Bernie is always very kind and patient with her, and is great at connecting with her even when the environment is distracting. He loves animals and is super easy to coordinate with.”
17. Mary M.
“Grace was fantastic with my cat. She followed instructions to a t and asked really insightful questions before I left which made it so that she didn't have to contact me a lot while I was on my trip. I loved receiving photo updates from her everyday. Grace took great care of my cat and also went above and beyond playing with her and setting up enrichment activities for when my cat was alone. I would never hesitate to ask Grace to watch my cat again. My cat can be anxious when I am away, but seemed so happy and relaxed in Grace's care”
