“Victoria does drop ins for my alder dog and my 2 month old puppy. Always takes good care of them, and they love her! Always updates me on what's going on and sends me pictures!”
“Michelle was great all around! She was willing to be flexible when our plans changed suddenly before our trip. She was so good with our large, elderly dog! We got photos and updates every day and she took him outside to play fetch daily to get his energy out. She was very communicative both before and during our week long trip. I would definitely recommend working with Michelle, especially if you are nervous about leaving your pets with a new person. Her communication made me feel a lot better about having to leave him!”
