It is immediately apparent that Todd has a real love for animals and he cared for Bruno as if he is his own, ensuring the dog walks fit their requirements and providing us with regular feedback on how he is. Todd was simply amazing while my son & I were on a quick two day trip in Big Bear keeping Bruno entertained with amazing hikes and sending the best photos from thier adventures in nature
