“I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Alice! From the moment I dropped off Zoe, I knew she was in great hands. Alice went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and happy throughout the stay. The communication was excellent—Alice sent regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. Not only did Alice provide a safe and clean environment, but she also took the time to give Zoe plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Zoe came home relaxed, happy, and well taken care of—it’s clear that Alice genuinely loves animals and knows how to care for them. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog boarder, I highly recommend Alice. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
