Von Marie met Beans, for the first time and it honestly couldn t have gone more perfectly. From the moment she walked in, Von Marie was so warm, calm, and SUPER excited to meet him. Beans can be a little shy at first, but she was patient, gentle, and gave him the time he needed to feel comfortable. Within minutes, he was completely at ease with her. It was so sweet to see. She sent thoughtful updates and adorable photos of their adventure together! We re so grateful to have found Von Marie and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants their pup treated like family
