“Caring, compassion and professionalism come to mind when we think of the services you provided for us and for Sasha. Not many businesses would come to your home at 10pm. Thanks for making a difficult time a little easier.”
“Thank you Sabine and Patrick for your excellent care and service for our dog Rascal. You left your flooded basement to come get him and had his ashes ready for us in such a timely manner. You were very professional and caring at such a difficult time for us.”
