16. Trisha G.
“Our family has had Trisha help us with our Fur Lovies over 2 decades now. She's been there through new fur family members and those we've lost to the Rainbow Bridge. "Her gentle and loving attention and interactions with us all have made us fall in love with her" says our pets and ESA's. She didn't always have to spend the time she did, but she falls in love awfully easy. Her attentiveness to details in thier collective and individual care is beyond impressive. We know she has cats and a Dog of her own, and for many years. Her kindness and ease to work and communicate with makes her a very reliable and simple choice when it comes to the care of our Fur Family. Shes reliable, responsible and loyal to her clients. May we also add she very fun and friendly! We look forward to seeing her as much as our pets do. Its been such a relief and blessing to no longer search for the "right person" for us. Trisha is and will forever be our only choice for pet care where TLC, sitting, walking, playing and feeding are needed. Thank you Trisha for making our lives so much easier and loving our Fur Family the way you always do. We all adore you!”
17. Savannah H.
“Savannah is a very compassionate and caring person. She loves animals and has 2 herself. She is full of love and very intuitive with animals. They gravitate to her. Savannah has taken care of my goldendoodles for me several times. She is able to walk them for me and one of them is a puller. Savannah was able to handle that no problem.”
