“Denise was great! She was very responsive to my last minute request to keep my two small dogs over night. She was very accommodating and let us come do a meet and greet in advance. Drop off and pick up were easy. We got lots of pictures of them playing with her other guests and also relaxing. They were happy and calm upon pick-up -- always a sign they had a great visit with someone. Thanks!”
