During our 3 week holiday last year in France, Marian did a wonderful job in taking care of our 2 golden retrievers, Mali & Tong. My wife and I were afraid that the dogs would be depressed while we were gone, but Marian did an excellent job in caring for them, and they acted as if we weren’t gone at all. The dogs not only looked cheerful upon our return, but they were well groomed, and were well exercised, since she mentioned she took them running with her during her daily jog. I wouldn’t hesitate in the least to recommend Marian to any pet owner who might be anxious about her ability to harmonize with the pet in question. She seems to have a great affinity to get along with the most challenging characters among pets. And the fact that she clearly loves pets, was the main reason we had no qualms about hiring her. Yours truly, Ross & Kimiko
