Jeanine is such a thoughtful and attentive caretaker! She takes the time to bond with our puppy and works with him on basic commands and exercise. Her overall energy is extremely calming which made our puppy s first day without us a success. We can trust that our puppy is happy and well taken care of under her watch.
