1. Stacey S.
“Stacey got the job done and was attentive with my cat. She went above and beyond. We didn't realize her vet would be closed the day before Thanksgiving and we were unable to get a refill on her prescription that she takes twice a day. Stacey called the vet the day after Thanksgiving and picked it up for us. She really came through in a pinch and we felt great that she was the one caring for our gal. We highly recommend her”
