1. Betty J.

“Betty took care of my dog over a long weekend and I can't recommend her highly enough. She was responsive, she was on time for our meet-and-greet, she took plenty of pictures and videos (something I love), and she treated my dog like she treated her own. In fact, her dog and my dog seemed to get along very well. I will definitely be calling Betty again when I need someone to watch my pup.”
