Testimonials
“I took my newly adopted 15 year old chichua in today and met the most wonderful person I believe her name is aria hoped I spelt her name correctly because she was wonderful with my dog and me and I watched her going through the customers asking if she could help and doing the job of a manager and she was excellent. I want her to be recognized as an excellent worker and she deserves it.i was so impressed how she took care of my baby lol dog and god we need that reassurance from the staff. Keep her and promote her it wasn’t just me everyone there got her attention. As a former manager I know how important it is to mingle with the clients and this girl would be the first one I would put on my team”.
