Left my puppy with them while i was out of town and one day in she made excuses that my puppy might’ve had a bladder infection and asked me to get someone to pick her up. A friend picked her up and she’s had no issues whatsoever.

Nikita was very happy. Melissa sent updates and provided a caring home. I would feel comfortable using her services again.
