20. Cindy P.
“Cindy & Tyler were absolutely fabulous! Cindy sent me a photo of my pup every day. My favorite one was when I saw my Leia cuddled up next to Tyler. Cindy told me that she also began to follow her around. Needless to say, it provided much comfort to know that my lil one clearly felt at home her new best friends. In addition, when I arrived at my house, it was exactly how I left it. So Cindy & Tyler thanks soooo much for taking such good care of my Leia & my house!!”
