I was about 3 hours away from home and needed a walker in a pinch and Gabrielle picked up the job in a timely manner!

Gabriel came through in a clutch when I plans kept changing. Very polite and took very good care of our fur baby. Definitely someone I plan on using again and again!

Rebecca did a fine job with Addy. She is very nice and was sympathetic to Addy s signal that she was ready to go home when she got tired. We appreciated Rebecca s call on Addy s behalf during her walk.
