9. John Luke N.
“John has been awesome! He has helped walk our 2 month old puppy, who can be a handful! When it's been very hot, he will play with him inside and has been patient with his biting. He has also got him to like walks more and more as he is getting better on a leash. Probably the best thing about John is that he has been very reliable. It's nice to know that while I am at work, I can count on him to take care of the pup! Thanks so much!”

18. Maria U.
About: He convivido con perros desde que nací. Me apasionan las razas pequeñas, especialmente los yorkis. trabajé en LA RED DE APOYO CANINO, sin fines de lucro. Tengo disponibilidad de tiempo, para realizar paseos de media hora. Me avisan con un día de anticipación, y con gusto busco al consentido de la casa. Lo primero es conversar sobre las costumbres del peludito, para poder atenderlos como se debe. Comida, medicamento, enfermedades, para estar muy bien informada. Ellos no hablan.💚 Y lo más importante, conocer su carácter. Respetar su manera de recibir afecto. Las mascotas, saben pedir y poner límites. Y no exponerlos a situación que puedan alterarlo o asustarlo. Estar atento todo el tiempo y reportar a su dueño constantemente, sobre su perro. Tratarlos muy bien, para ser personal de confianza y que me vuelvan a contactar, a través de este medio.
19. Alexandra C.
“Alexandra was friendly, communicative, respectful and responsible! Our two dogs loved her. She followed our instructions and we did not have to worry. . Our puppies had a lot of fun. Our dogs had some much energy and that did not scare her🤣 we love having her take care our dogs and will call on her again. Highly recommended.”
