Thank goodness for this woman. My boyfriend and I had an out-of-state vacation planned for Christmas and needed someone to watch our lab, Pearl. We asked every friend and relative in (and out!) of city limits with no takers (apparently, people make plans for the holidays...). Luckily, Jo agreed and she did a phenomenal job. Despite Pearl's terrific cuddling skills, she can still be quite a handful. She's 65lb+ of energy and is awful on the leash. I'm secure enough to admit I raised a bad walker. But Jo had no trouble keeping Pearl in line. During our five-day trip (including Dec. 24th/25th) Jo texted me daily photos and updates of how my fur-baby was doing, which I really appreciated. I could tell she took great care of Pearl and kept her happy the whole time. I really didn't want to leave Pearl in a kennel where they keep dogs crated for 20 hours a day, so I'm so so so thankful I found Jo!
