Phyllis was so great with Diesel who is a blind husky, send photo to show how good he is doing. And we can tell Diesel was very happy at her place. Will definitely use her services again.

Phyllis was amazing! We’re so glad we found her. She took care of Butters like one of her own and I know he was very happy to have her family around.
