DOGS HANDLED

Molly M. CO

“Sabrinah did a great job with our dog. We have a 11 year old dog and we were concerned about boarding her in a typical kennel place due to her age. We tried Rover instead, and she spent a whole week with Sabrinah. Our dog looked so happy and energetic when we picked her up. I would highly recommend using Sabrinah"
