“Michelle-Anne dog sat our sheltie puppy for 9 days! It was a first time experience for us to be away from Theo. We were totally pleased! Michelle-Anne has a calming manner and positive vibe that helped our puppy trust her immediately, this also helped us relax during our family event. We enjoyed the daily pics and notes about Theo & his routine. Thank’s for taking Theo to the off leash park, we believe it helped him build better social skills and I bet he loved it. We are grateful for the love and care you provided Theo. Thank you Michelle-Anne and Max for welcoming Theo into your home.”
