Karen & Garry looked after Amanda’s pets & home

Karen & Garry have looked after both of my babies since they were just puppies! They have watched them in my home, as well as their own. As an incredibly over protective dog momma, I can confidently leave my pups with them and fully relax on vacation, knowing that they are in the absolute best hands, and will be given so much love and attention while I’m away!
