David & Ruth looked after Alexis’s pets & home
Dave has watched our Dogs and home twice now. If I could describe the perfect people to watch our Dogs, it would be them. They took amazing care of my Boys, left my home cleaner than we left it (both times), and cared for our dogs as if they were theirs. They even gifted my boys toys! They are genuinely kind people and I feel very lucky to be able to call on them when going away.
