“Victoria always goes above and beyond, she even took our pups to the park to play! She is on time, organized and always communicates with us if any questions come up. She gives our pup eye drops which is a huge help since he has some extra needs and she helps with their special food as well. We are so grateful to have found Victoria and will continue to book whenever we need some help!”
