“Ludivine is a very kind and gentle and trustworthy person and was so wonderful with our 2 dogs! She came to meet us all before her stay and we immediately knew that she would quickly gain a good understanding of their needs and strange ways!!. She kept in touch regularly throughout our holiday and sent photos. We had no concerns at all, and could completely relax. When we got home, after the initial crazy "welcome home chaos" it was plain to see that they were very laid back and content in her presence ..it was like we were never away! We feel so lucky to have met Ludivine, and we hope that she will stay again in the future. Thank you Ludivine 😊xx”
