Mara & Rafi looked after Ellen Lippman’s pets & home
Mara has taken care of several of my dogs, both at my home and at her apartment. The dogs love her, that is clearly evident, and they and my home were well cared for. One dog was dog reactive, and Mara was experienced with redirecting him as appropriate using positive reinforcement. Rafi is an added bonus, and if your dog likes to run Rafi can accommodate that wish! I strongly recommend them!
