He was always happy, safe and taken care of. Though I know she spoiled him with hugs and belly rubs, she always followed my wishes and instructions for his care, which made me feel confident in my choice to leave him with her. Even in his last days, she was responsive and so compassionate. Truly the best fit for the job!”
