We received pictures and updates throughout the duration of our vacation and were playing with the dogs when I picked them up. My pups were so well taken care of that they barely greeted me, which I took as a great sign! Thank you Evan and Kaleigh for giving us the peace of mind during our vacation!”

Alexandra was the BEST caretaker for Ellie. She attended to all my instructions and made sure Ellie had the best time. She sent daily updates and pictures and I was able to focus on my trip knowing my dog was in great hands. She was even flexible when travel chaos made me a little late for pick up. Thanks, Alexandra!

If we could leave 11 stars, we would! Darius was amazing with Darcy. Walks, snuggles, chill time, treats, and squirrel chasing…she loved every minute and we were so comforted knowing she was in Darius’s care. He has made a four-legged and 2 two-legged friends for life :). Delighted and grateful…we will definitely be booking again! Thank you, Darius!!

Isa is great!! So friendly, and attentive and loving with my dog. I know Lily was well-taken care of and had a good time. I could tell immediately when I picked up my dog that she had bonded with Isa and her friend. Plus she got Lily to eat while I was gone, so that's an accomplishment! I will definitely want to use Isa again for future boarding.
