“Danielle recently boarded Bernie, our big sweet hound dog, for a week. We have never had anyone outside of family care for him before, so we were nervous about his experience in a new place with a new person. We are so grateful and feel tremendously blessed that our paths crossed with Danielle. She provided exceptional service to us as pet parents and there is no doubt Bernie was treated like family with Danielle. Danielle was friendly, polite, and professional in our interactions and readily answered any questions we sent her way. She provided regular communication and updates on Bernie during his 7-day stay. It was so easy to enjoy our vacation knowing Bernie was receiving plenty of attention, affection, and love from a compassionate, caring, and highly qualified professional. We absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend Danielle to anyone seeking quality and exemplary care for their pets. We thoroughly look forward to working with Danielle again in the future!”
