“Kim and Jon were excellent with Tyson when I was gone. They went the extra mile to make him feel comfortable and at home. At times, Tyson can be a lot to handle, but they did great. He had a hard time eating at first, but they took their time and sought advice to make sure they were doing everything they could so that Tyson was well taken care of. it was nice to go on a 4 day vacation knowing my dog was gonna be well taken care of”
