Lisa is fantastic. She does so well with my two girls each of which are very different in personality and need wise. Just know that your furry friends will be in good hands with Lisa.

Raquel S.
Aw! He s so cute! Oh no! He had to drink out of your hand? Was the red flap not working? Thank you for taking his water bottle with. If it s too heavy, let me know I can a smaller one
Raquel S.
Yeah, with the heat he moves slower. Poor guy. If you want to switch to playing fetch in the backyard instead of a walk that s fine to or you can split it in half. I trust your judgement. Also, O got him a water bottle. It s by his shoes and poop bags. It has a red top and stainless steel, if you want to take it with you on walks. It s heavy though
Raquel S.

Raquel S.
