Thanks again for letting Emma have such a wonderful stay!”

Hazel doesn’t always eat much while she is staying at someone’s house (regardless of who it is), so Cassandra kept us updated when she was or wasn’t eating - and eventually Hazel did settle in to better eating habits! Her concern and attention was really appreciated. Hazel also gets an allergy pill twice a day which Cassandra kept up with too. Thank you for caring for our dog!”

She made sure to obtain all the information needed from me, following her schedule and asking the questions all pet parents want to answer.

I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her and her dog. I would recommend her care and I will be booking again.”
