20. Yelitssa C.
“OMG…this woman and her beautiful family watched my 2 year old emotional therapy dog for almost 2 weeks. I didn’t know what to expect because I’ve never left my dog anywhere. Yelista, her home and beautiful family were very welcoming at drop off. I walked away delighted. I also got a text she sent me of my Evee who was asleep on their bed one night when I was traveling. That was so awesome and thoughtful💕💕 Upon return from travel I was really kind of stressed out. I had left my dog for quite a while. I called her when I was about an hour away to let her know I was heading that way. Upon arrival I alerted her by text (to not wake up the whole house with the doorbell). She had Evee ready to go holding her under one arm and a baby on the other hip. ❤️💕 The set up she has in her home was very nice, clean and really positive energy flowing. My dog had a fabulous experience from the way she acted upon my return. I think she may have wanted to stay there….lol This woman rocks it. She took VERY good care of my Evee and…..I will DEFINITELY be utilizing her services in the future. I would vouch for Yelista in a heartbeat. She’s great at what she does. Thank you Yelista and Rover!!!❤️❤️🙏🙏”
