Dave & Kanana looked after Larry’s pets & home

I have known David and Kanana for many years and can attest to his love of animals and ability to act as dog/cat sitters. Before David moved to an apartment he owned several dogs who seemed to be happy, healthy and friendly. And David and Kanana are now owners of an adopted stray cat. They have both shown great affection to our dogs over the years, and on one occasion “babysat” our dog when we were away. I would recommend them unreservedly.
