“Kim watched our two puggles, Penny and Wilson, at our home recently. She visited us in advance to meet the dogs (and us), and we could tell immediately how much she loved pets (and how much they love her!). We are new to Richmond, and not only did Kim discuss Penny and Wilson's needs, she also told us about some great restaurants to try in the area! She's a friendly, reliable person, and you can trust her to take great care of your dogs. We plan to use her again soon. ”
