Evelyn & Ria
It was our first "sit" so I was very anxious that Ria would be happy and comfortable. To say that it went well is a huge understatement. Linda & Jim are very lovely people. We liked them from the minute they walked into our home. More importantly Ria did too. She is a shy, quiet dog and only really comes alive when there is a ball being thrown for her!! But she went to Linda & Jim almost immediately and the bond was formed. They walked and played with her regularly, I believe that a routine was quickly established and Ria loved it. In fact I think she may even have been a little disappointed when we arrived home !! Not only had they looked after Ria but our home too. I have absolutely no hesitation at all in saying that they are truly wonderful people who really cared and loved Ria. If they sit for you it will be a terrific experience for you and your dog.
