“Our horses and dogs are our family, we only leave them with people we trust to do the job and do it right, it can be a hard thing to find. Vanessa has repeatedly shown she is that person and that is why we continue to ask her to watch and care for our fur babies. In addition, she is also a very responsible and tidy house sitter, and she ensures that everything is in order when we return home.”
