“My 2.Pomeranians. Chloe and Mia stayed overnight with Ivy. Ivy was very quick to respond to any questions that I had and also stayed in communication during the stay by sending pictures and updates! She and her son, along with her Dog Basil and kitties, helped my dogs feel right at home.

Highly recommended! Thank you for taking great care of my girls!”
