When we reached out to her for help with our Great Dane who was scared to come down the steps outside she was right there to help us. Both Julie and Angie made our stay that much more special, we LOVED talking with her and when our dog FINALLY came down the stairs she played fabulously with Angie. We cannot wait to come back!
