“Cindy and Steve were awesome! Our dog Theo had a great time staying with them, and they were very excited to spend the 5 days with him. We received many photos and updates about our pup, and he was in great spirits when we picked him up. We really appreciated the meet and greet that Cindy and Steve offered us especially since our dog is young and we were a little nervous about leaving him. They were so kind and sensitive to that and made sure that we knew he was having a great stay with them. Thank you Cindy and Steve!!”
