“Jennifer is a great, thoughtful dog walker. It’s obvious that she enjoys Bailey and Bailey obviously loves Jennifer. Always gives good reports how Bailey did on her walk, meeting dogs, adults and children.”
“Jeffrey arrived on time, greeted Charlie and Charlie responded positively to him. He provided pictures of their walk and commentary of the experience. Charlie was happy and comfortable with Jeffrey and was happy to see him the next time we booked. Highly recommend.”
“Stephanie did a great job! As soon as she came in she knew how to handle my high energy Ginger. She was sweet with her, but also knew how to kindly correct her when she was over excited and calmed her down.”
