Kristi and her family are an absolute delight. They watched my house and dog while we were away snd too say I was extremely pleased with my experience is an understatement. They treated my home and dog as their own - oh and plants too! I absolutely recommend them. They are clean, tidy, thoughtful and go above and beyond!
