“Deborah was 100% reliable, punctual, sent feedback with photos every time, and went out of her way to help us. I would use her again and again. I highly recommend Deborah to everyone.”
2. Mary M.
“Mary was amazing! We contacted her to help watch our dogs while going to a family wedding. She came over the week before and met us and the dogs and just clicked immediately. We have the nicest German shepherds in the world but you never know if a new person meeting them will be nervous or not. She immediately seemed to read them and just loved on them right away, which made us feel like she was the right person for the job. She sent great pictures and detailed notes on her check ins with the dogs. We absolutely will be reaching out to her for help in the future!”
