Kelly was great! Our dog is a little nervous with separation anxiety in new places. Kelly was great to get her comfortable and keep us informed when she settled in. I appreciated the photos and updates while we were away. Would highly recommend Kelly.

Kelly was great with my Morkie, Maddix. He is not accustomed to being away from me and I was worried that he would not settle down. But Kelly sent me photos of a happy Maddix. She said he sat with her on the couch and even gave her kisses.
