My Dog Tess
After dealing with other companies and their agents, I found a respite in My Dog Tess. Not only did they stay with me through 8 grueling months or trying to sell my home during the economic down turn, they also were able to quickly and inexpensively handle the repairs that were needed for my home to give it what it needed to sell.
