“Our dog loves tillana! He loves her so much that when we go on long trips we drive an hour to drop him off. He has so much dog fun and comes home really tired in a good happy way. Every time he sees her, he pees himself in excitement and happily jumps in her car. What better review from a dog is there than that?”
“Nina and Leo were great! Jackson was very happy. He loved his walks and their sunny yard. Jackson has separation (or isolation) anxiety, but Nina and Leo were there for him, ensuring that he has contented. They were great!”
“Benedict and Kristina took care of our 8yr old Shepherd mix for the weekend. She came home safe and well taken care of. At our meet and greet they asked intentional questions and were enthusiastic about meeting Moka. Drop off was easy and flexible. Per usual we got lots of updates and photos throughout the weekend but B&K took it a step further with a little personal touch at pick up. Thanks again guys!”

“Had to leave my 6-month fur ball for the evening. On just a few days notice, Margaret asked great questions about my dogs background and made sure we’d all be comfortable. My dog got great care, got some additional training practice, and had a friend- all of which was documented in photos that she shared with me during and after the visit. Thanks so much and we can’t wait to visit again.”

“Kekw had a great time with Jifu. He really enjoyed playing with their dog Joki and was comfortable enough to relax and eat most of his food. One thing I was especially happy with was that Kekw came home quite clean!! Usually Kekw will get really dirty with boarders so I'm really happy about this.”
