We had a pre-visit and Dillon took to Karen straightaway. Great communication from the start and throughout Dillon's stay. We knew Dillon would be well looked after, and we highly recommend Karen. If we can, we would look to book Karen again, if there's availability 😊.

Everything went better than I expected. Otto relaxed enough to enjoy his first walk with someone other than his family.
