Julia & Hal looked after Bev Simon’s pets & home
Julia and I have been good friends for more than 30 years. Our families have spent many good times together. She has a lovely family who are caring, thoughtful and respectful. We have two golden retrievers and the Youngs have joined us on numerous walks since our dogs were puppies. The children especially love our dogs; having enjoyed getting involved with feeding and walking them. I would be happy for the Young family to look after our two dogs anytime, knowing they would care for them and enjoy their company. Julia, Hal and the children are an honest and caring family and I happily recommend them to look after someone else’s home and pets as if they were their own.
