Very professional and understanding of what the clients need and want and I got to pay for only the specific service I needed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged Elayne and her team at Savvy to assist us with the relocation of our two dogs (a golden retriever and dachshund) from Singapore to Tokyo. Our dogs were already attending daycare at Snuggery for the last six years and were familiar with Elayne. From our experience with Snuggery, we knew we could trust Elayne with our dogs. Engaging Savvy was the best decision we made for the move - communication was always prompt and instructions clear. Elayne and Rebecca were always patient in answering our numerous questions and explored many options with us through several change of plans. We had a seamless and stress-free experience with moving our dogs. Thank you so much Elayne and Rebecca! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to relocate their pets.
