2. Nora H.
“Nora was excellent!! When I originally met her for a meet-and-greet, Hondo loved her right away and she put me at ease when she told me of the dogs she owns and her love of dogs in general. I was gone for the weekend and was sad leaving my pup behind— but Nora left a ton of pictures and a detailed review of every day she came to check up on him. It put me at ease. I will definitely re-book with her in the future! Thanks Nora!! :)”

About: I have lived on a farm most of my life, and I have taken care of animals most of my life. I love all types and sizes. I have the utmost patience and respect for our furry friends!
