Report
Kristen and her staff our awesome. They love and treat our girls as their own. Sometimes we think our dogs love them best! Kristen and her staff have been a part of our family since June 2012. We cant say enough wonderful things they do! Im not sure how I found them but Im grateful I did. Recently my husband and I planned a weekend away. There was a glitch in the plan but Kristen came to the rescue! She and her husband stayed at our home and took care of our girls all weekend. They were awesome.. sending pics so we knew the girls were content. Great overnights...great daily walks and fun
