“Our dog Hugo has stayed at Haydenn’s apartment a few times and loves it there. He has separation anxiety but always seems happy to hang out with Haydenn, which is a great sign to us! I really liked that before our first booking, Haydenn requested a meet and greet to make sure he was only accepting well-behaved dogs. While we were gone, we got regular updates about Hugo and he came back happy and healthy. :) Haydenn was also very flexible with drop off and pick up. Our flight was delayed coming home and he was very accommodating. We will definitely continue using Haydenn in the future!”

“I board Winston with Michael every time I go out of town. I get pictures of all of the activities they do together and all of the new doggy friends Winston makes. I feel entirely confident that my dog is getting the best care when I’m away.”

“I could not recommend Kelly and Cal more enthusiastically! They took great care of our two babies, sent frequent updates including videos and pictures, were super responsive -- and were SO easy and flexible! I needed to add time to our scheduled visit and they happily rolled with that. Plus, I was a few minutes late picking up and they were fine with that too! Most importantly, our doggies were happy and healthy. Will definitely rebook!”
