We’ve known Marc and Kathryn for nearly 15 years and consider them to be among our most dependable, compassionate, and trustworthy friends. As pilots for two different airlines, we can always rely on their kindness to help care for our dogs while we’re both away, and they never hesitate whenever we need them. Our dogs love them! In fact, our oldest dog can be quite temperamental, but Marc has been able to gain his trust with sincere empathy and patience. We have no doubt that Marc and Kathryn would make a positive impression on people and pets anywhere in the world!
