They got along so great, she became a frequent (and special) walker, showing up any time I needed her. When I needed someone to care for Whicket she agreed enthusiastically to dogsit him for a weekend I needed off. I knew I could trust her with my dog and I know she has love for him as well. Liza keeps in touch with me during his walks with video updates, and bathroom statuses. She leaves me thorough report cards, and I always know she is going the extra mile with exercise-- she is a soccer and tennis athlete! I can recommend Liza 100% for anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter.”
