Mette & Akbar looked after Heine’s pets & home

Mette is a professional and experienced veterinarian, so your pet will be in the best of hands. I share a summer house with Mette, and she and her husband alwas do a lot of work on the house and the garden, while they are there. Not that I think she be painting your living room or anything, but she will definately take good care of your house.
