“Karin has been great. We recently added a Puppy to our family and already have an 8 y/o Yorkie. I needed someone to let the puppy and her big bro out every day to romp in the backyard. She sends me pics and gives them snacks. I can tell by the pics that they are so happy to see her. I look forward to getting the pics while I'm at work because it brightens my day every time.”
