Report
I've used Good Steward Pet Sitting to provide our dog with regular walks. I originally reached out to them because I wanted time in the morning for prayer and Bible study, and I did not know how to fit it in and continue to walk our dog in the mornings before work. Good Steward Pet Sitting was able to walk our dog and free up that time for me. Mary Wilcox is the person I interacted with. The days I had her scheduled, she never missed a day, and when I let her know that I needed to adjust the schedule, she was always prompt in replying to my email and working with me. Above all of that, she treated my dog in a loving manner and occasionally sent me updates about their walks, just to let me know how he was doing. I am so thankful I found Good Steward.

Mary has been taking care of my 3 dogs for years. She does an amazing job! My oldest dog is 16 and has never been boarded or in a cage and honestly I don't think she could handle it. We have pet cameras so we can watch them when we are gone and they act like we are just at work or at the store. They lay around in there own beds doing what they normally do, totally unaware that we are out of town. Just as happy as can be! Thank you Good Steward Pet sittings! Riley, Max, and Sadie thank you too!
