      <image:title>Testimonials - “Mary Ruffkins was the most amazing when we needed a sitter. Our dogs Mia and Rio loved her and she was amazing with them.

      <image:title>Testimonials - “ I’ve hired many people to assist me in various aspects of my work and I have to say Danielle has been one of the most flexible and responsive people I have met. She often rearranged her busy schedule to accommodate mine, if my dogs were potentially going to be left alone too long. I think this stems from her genuine concern for the well-being of the dogs she cares for and has created a bond with. I thoroughly recommend hiring Mary Ruffkins Services, your dogs will thank you!” – Sarah</image:title>

      <image:title>Testimonials - “I have three Rhodesian Ridgebacks. They are all very friendly and playful dogs and require a lot of attention. I was looking for someone to come to my house and stay overnight and watch my dogs, while I was away on vacation for two weeks. A friend of mine recommended Mary Ruffkins and let me tell you she was the person for the job. She stayed for two weeks and played with them, fed them and walked them. She was there for them and sent pictures and videos through the vacation. My dogs were so happy they were following her out the door when she left. I would highly recommend Mary Ruffkins. Danielle’s watched them many times and she’s very experienced .”– Chris</image:title>

      <image:title>Testimonials - “There is no one better than Mary Ruffkins to watch your dogs. Danielle has known my dog Spanx since I got him from the shelter and he is absolutely crazy about her. Unfortunately, my dog has a few behavioral issues like food guarding and leash aggression and Danielle is the only person who is able to keep Spanx in check. I can rest easy if she is boarding him while I’m away for work or pleasure. She is extremely communicative and truly loves my fur baby, as if he’s one of her own. Stop searching, you found company and right person!”– Keyla</image:title>

I felt so at ease leaving my dogs with Mary Ruffkins Services because of Danielle. Not only did she love and treat them like her own but her experience and understanding of how to handle dogs who need some management was invaluable.” — Emma</image:caption>
