“Heidi was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Fresa and made her feel completely at home. Fresa doesn’t usually get comfortable with others easily, but she warmed up to Heidi so quickly, which really speaks for itself. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about the dogs she looked after. Fresa came back happy and relaxed.
