Wendie’s dog, Asha, was the perfect playmate—those two became instant best friends and spent their days playing, cuddling, and enjoying every minute together. Wendie kept us updated with sweet photos and messages, which made it so easy to relax knowing Mavis was happy and loved. When it was time to pick her up, Mavis didn’t want to leave! We’re so grateful to have found Wendie and can’t recommend her enough. She’s warm, attentive, and truly treats your dog like family. Mavis is already looking forward to her next stay!”
