Thank you, Wendi, for taking care of Nala! Given how shy she is, I prefer for her to see a familiar person every time she needs a sitter. Wonderful service all around.

Thank you so much! Knowing that she was well taken care of was such a relief, especially given how shy Nala can be. Wendi went above and beyond to make sure she was good for the day. Very grateful!
