Marion & Colleen looked after Rachel’s pets & home
I've been friends with Marion & Colleen for almost 15 years. While traveling over the past 12 years, I've left my dog with them more times than I can remember, always trusting she'd be safe, happy, healthy and well-loved. I originally met Marion & Colleen at a dog park in our neighborhood, and my dog and their dog became best friends. Over countless hours walking dogs and spending time in each others' homes, I've gotten to know them as two of my most friendly, generous, reliable, responsible and caring friends. I trust them completely and it is a huge relief to know they are the ones taking care of my beloved dog-child and precious belongings when I'm away - I don't have to worry about a thing.
