Testimonials
Salida Co.-- pet sit with beautiful mountain views
Gabriella and Shannon are a very nice and friendly couple. I was able to meet Shannon prior to his departure and go over his written instructions and was able to walk the dogs with him to see their path. Their 2 dogs, Joe and Rio were easy to care for and fun to be around. Joe is very laid back and gentle. I walked him on a leash and he was very compliant. Rio is friendly and has a bit more energy but he was able to walk off leash and run freely. He never let me out of his sight and if I called he would come immediately. He was very obedient. I did not have any issues with either dog. Their home is very nice, safe on 7 acres and has beautiful mountain views. The front and back yard are lovely to just sit and enjoy the views. The town of Salida is nice. It is walkable with the Arkansas river running through it. You can watch rafter pass through and every Thursday evening they had free concerts in the park and a great mini golf course. Mt. Princeton hot springs, brown canyon are nearby and abundant hiking opportunities. I highly recommend this sit especially if you like the outdoors.
