Verified owner · Jan. 2025
Rick was wonderful to work with, and his dogs clearly are a cut above the rest. He was honest and responsive to my messages, and our pup is incredibly intelligent, healthy, and beautiful! She is very eager to please and easy to be with, and even after 24 hours being stuck in the airport, slept ALL night from the beginning.
