My pup, Toby, has severe separation anxiety so... we needed an alternative to leaving him in a lonely crate all day (while we are at work) with absolutely no interaction but the TV we left on. To make things worst, we felt guilty if we wanted to go anywhere on the weekend- once again, crating him. What kind of life is that? We didn't know how he would do with spending the day with someone he didn't know, however, we were willing to take a chance considering the alternative. He was a bit timid at first but took to Elizabeth (Ms. Beth) almost immediately. Not only did Toby get to interact with her, Ms. Beth also had other, well mannered, friendly pups of her own to interact with. CRATE -VS- HUMAN/PUP CONTACT.... Easy Choice. Ms. Beth's demeanor is AMAZING, you can really tell she loves what she does. Oh, her property is made for fun! Huge, fenced back yard to run around in. The inside, beautiful and still Pup friendly. 5+ stars!
