“Megan was absolutely fantastic with our puppy Nova, we had to go out of town unexpectedly shortly after getting her. Megan made us feel like we left Nova with a family member, the whole time we received photo and video updates of our pup and was happy to answer questions and communication was fantastic as well. She made sure all of Nova’s puppy needs were met and had plenty of play time. I would highly recommend Megan to anyone!”
