9. Ching Y.
“Ching is lovely! She quickly won over Tofu's heart and became his new best friend upon their first meeting. I enlisted her help for an initial three-hour visit in the afternoon to gauge Tofu's compatibility with her and her children in their delightful home. The outcome was delightful – everyone was pleased! The children enjoyed playful moments with Tofu, while Tofu found comfort resting by her feet during the family dinner. She kindly kept me updated with photos and videos, even sharing details about Tofu's snack choices from her bag. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a caring companion for their furry friend.”
