"Fabulous, Caring, Patient...Extremely Responsible You know you've got a GREAT pet sitter when your dog gets excited to see that person walk through the door. Boomer, my 15 year old dog, has been lovingly cared for by Trudy for the last several years. Trudy is incredibly reliable and REALLY good at what she does. She has a way of communicating with animals that lets you know she is indeed, in tune with them and attentive to their needs. Trudy is one of those people you can completely trust to take care of your beloved pals. I highly recommend her and encourage you to call her today. January 13, 2009 by Diane Varner & Boomer in El Granada, CA Wonderful care for your pets No Place Like Home is a wonderful experience for both your pets and you. Trudy takes great care of your pets and keeps you updated on the status of your pet while you are away from them. We discovered No Place Like Home on Merchant Circle and can say that we are very happy with the service!! (and so is our dog!) July 07, 2009 by Savvy Skirts in Half Moon Bay, CA The Best In All The West Trudy Gardner of No Place Like Home is one of the most caring, competent, reliable, trustworthy people we know. She has been our dog-walker/care giver for over a year and has won over our dogs’ hearts. We have two dogs, one with disabilities, and Trudy has given Mojo a new lease on life. He has been given the opportunity to socialize with other dogs without any danger of being re-injured. Trudy acts as his Secret Service Agent! When we are out of town, Maddie and Mojo stay in Trudy’s care. No matter when we return, they are always disappointed to see us. She is completely attuned to any animal’s needs and wants. She gives every animal unconditional love and with that love can train them to be our well-behaved, treasured friends. Trudy is a woman of high morals, true integrity, deep compassion and rich humor. We highly recommend Trudy to anyone with furry or feathered friends. There is no one else like her and you will not regret choosing her to care for your pets.
