She did a GREAT job. I love that she sent a picture of our 2 miniature schnauzers. They were looking comfortable. They came back to us happy. I didn’t feel worried when I met her. Thank you! If I’m in Houston next time I would go to her again.

Malena did great communicating with us about the dogs. She was very flexible and helpful. She spent time with them and played with them.
