Testimonials
"Haley took outstanding care of dog Tempo and our home for almost a month while we went to France. We were impressed that she visited on several occasions before we left so that she and Tempo could become acquainted, eliminating both our dog's and our anxiety. In fact, Tempo was so happy with Haley that she was quite indifferent when we returned home!"

"When we first moved to Boulder, a good friend recommended The Sensible Surrogate, as we hate to kennel our 'babies' when we travel for business. What a stroke of luck! Our dogs absolutely love Haley and her crew and I know that they're getting lots of dog love and discipline when we're away. It's really fantastic that we can travel and have someone we trust taking care of our 'kids' and our house. We've recommended The Sensible Surrogate to several of our friends and neighbors. I wouldn't know what to do without them!!"

"Haley has been our extended family in taking care to help us be there with Cody when we could not. She loves dogs and animals in general but truly became an extended member of our household. We could always count on Haley to be there with the love, care, and support that we needed for Cody man when we were out of town. We always knew we could rely on her and truly appreciated her competence and help."

"Okay, Haley's my niece - but nevertheless, I want you to know that she saved my dog from certain death. She was sitting at my house when I was in Wyoming. Bear, my dog, went charging down from the deck, where Haley was calmly reading around dusk. She stood up to see Bear being attacked by a large mountain lion. Ignoring her own safety, she ran down screaming and yelling and scared the lion off - she was horse for days. She promptly took Bear, who wanted to chase after the lion, to the emergency vet hospital, where Bear received multiple stitches and sutures for his puncture wounds. The emergency vet said they'd never had a mountain lion attack dog come in and survive. If Haley hadn't been so attentive and brave and courageous, I would have lost my wonderful dog. So, if you want someone to take care of your pets who cares as much about them as herself and has a real love for all things living, call Haley! She's the best!!!"

"Haley and her crew have consistently taken exceptional care of my two rambunctious and highly energetic dogs. Every time they visit the dogs are clearly thrilled to see them, and to me that means that they not only stay happy and well cared for while I'm gone, but that they also have a lot of fun!"

"Haley & Katie have been taking care of Mo-Jo for several years now when we go on vacations. The care is awesome! Mo-Jo is now 17, requires medicine, and at times needs special care. Haley & Katie give her that extraordinary attention required for the elderly! And you can see how comfortable she is around them."
