“They were absolutely great with watching my little yorkie. Before the sitting they were very diligent about setting up a meet and greet. During the meet and greet we did a practice walk and went over the stay. During the stay they were so sweet and kind to my girl. At one point my yorkie wasn't feeling well and they took my yorkie to the emergency vet and stayed there with her until I could get there. I highly recommend!!! They are a wonderful and caring sitter.”
