“Audree is the best. I was so nervous to leave my new puppy with anyone this soon in her life, but we had prior engagements before we decided to adopt her. My husband and I felt completely comfortable leaving her with Audree. She even ate her food while she was with Audree because she had refused to eat all day. Audree also kept us up to date with everything that was going on with her and sent photos. Thank you Audree. We appreciate you and will see you again this week.”
