“Had to take a trip to Chicago for my granddaughter's birthday. Very hard to leave my dog and feel that everything will be ok. I had Chasity come to sit with Cooper and again she did an excellent job. Always sends pictures of what Cooper is doing so we do not have to wonder. I highly recommend her for pet sitting.”
