Michelle S.
“Michelle is AMAZING! I seriously can’t say enough good things. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and knows how to handle them with patience and care. My dog can be a little nervous around new people, but he warmed up to Michelle immediately. She gave me regular updates, sent the cutest pics, and followed all my care instructions perfectly. When I picked him up, he was calm, clean, and clearly well loved like he had a little vacation of his own. I also really appreciated how professional and down to earth she was. You can just feel that she takes this seriously and treats your pet like family. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 10/10. Highly recommend. 🐾”
