To:   Prospective Dog Trots Clients

Date: March 24, 2003

Gloria has been taking care of our two dogs for the last three years.  We have two Newfoundland mixed breeds and one is an excitable 115 lbs.  We have depended on Gloria to take our dogs on daily walks when we are at work during the day and to take/pick up our dogs from boarding.  Gloria has been extremely reliable and flexible with our schedules.  As Arthur is a pilot, his schedule is constantly changing and we can never reserve Gloria's time too far in advance.  Additionally, Gloria is trustworthy.  We feel very comfortable with her in our home when we are not there.

Not only does Gloria have our dogs' best interest at heart, she also looks out for us.  After the earthquake in February 2001, Gloria came to check on our dog and our house before going to her own home!  She immediately contacted me at work to inform us of the damage to our home and to tell us how she found our dog hiding and spent extra time to comfort him.

We would not hesitate to recommend Dog Trots to anyone who is looking for a professional pet care provider.

There is too much to list as to how we feel about Gloria/Dog Trots.  In 2000, we were first time owners of an energetic 5 month old Golden Retriever, Morgan.  He instantly became the love of our lives and we were in search of a dog walking service to relieve him of his energy during the week.  Gloria came over, sat with me, met Morgan, got to know us and the bond was created.  Gloria is part of our family and Morgan loves seeing her each week, running in the park with other dogs and getting personalized attention.  One major reason for choosing Dog Trots is the number of dogs she takes at one time.  Not too much and not too few.

Gloria has house/pet sat for us, brought Morgan up to our wedding 60 miles away and continually keeps us updated on what he has done that day at the park with little unique notes.  She is compassionate, friendly, and dependable, we trust her with the important things in our lives.  We tell everyone about Dog Trots and highly recommend Gloria; she treats all animals as if they were hers.

We have two large dogs and were new to the Seattle area.  We needed to find someone who could stay with the dogs on the occasions that we were away from home, as well as walk them when we would be gone for the entire day.  We contacted Gloria at Dog Trots and have been thrilled with her services since day one.

Gloria is clearly not only responsible and trustworthy, but also has genuine concern for the well being of our dogs.  She has shown them great kindness and they love it whenever she comes around.  We have had occasion to ask Gloria to stay overnight with our dogs and it gave us priceless peace of mind to know all was well on the home front.  When we returned the only anxiety for our pets seemed to be when they would see Gloria again!

We enthusiastically recommend Dog Trots to anyone and are confident you will be as delighted with the service as we have been each and every visit.

Sincerely,

"My dog, Archie, is a greyhound who loves his runs with Gloria and her dog,       

Polo, as well as the other dogs along for the trip.  Dog Trots has given Archie

the exercise and care we can't always give him.  Dog Trots provides loving

reliable and affordable care for our dog while we are at work or on vacation. 

Dog Trots has also been a wonderful caregiver to our diabetic- but happy

and healthy-cat, Otis."

Gloria,

Thanks so much for your continued great care of Tigger when I travel.  It is so hard to leave him alone,  but I always feel better knowing that he is in you and your team's capable hands.

Your love of animals was very evident to evident to me during our first meeting and I immediately felt comfortable working with you.  While it can be difficult to let someone you don't know that well into your home, I immediately felt a sense of trust with you and your services.  Aside from the basics you provide like feeding, cleaning and playing, it is so nice to come home to your notes and updates on how Tigger has been.

The extras like bringing in the mail and papers make a difference too.  Lastly, I really appreciate your concern and observations about Tigger's progress (or lack thereof) on his diet- I know that you are genuinely looking out for him.

I will continue to recommend your services to my friends and colleagues.

Thanks again!
