Q. Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.

A. We had a family who was heading to Disney World and the kennel they were going to use had an outbreak of kennel cough the day before their trip. They were very upset and concerned that their trip would be cancelled or delayed. They contacted us and we rushed right to their home, met with them and their pets and took care of everything while they were away including phone conversations with them twice a day. They had a wonderful trip and we gained new friends.
