19. Michelle I.

“My 2 Pomeranians were treated with the upmost care by Michelle… They treated my girls just like they were their own babies. They communicated effectively, respectfully, angelically. I was going through some stress on my work trip and had to extend one day. They were so understanding, kind, and just overall amazing people. If I could give them more stars, I would. My Pomeranians were so so happy panting like they were treated like princesses in their care. I received lots of images and videos that warmed my heart. They even got my Sassy Queen Pom a sweater that was so adorable on her. 100/10 experience. Thank you. So much. x”
