“I can't recommend Misty highly enough! She was absolutely fantastic with my kitten, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect while I was away. She sent regular updates, photos, and even little notes about my cat's behavior, which brought me so much peace of mind. It was clear they genuinely cared, and my cat was so content and well looked after. I will definitely book with them again! - Very nice having someone Thai reliable in the area!”

5. Michael G.
“Micheal and I are close friends, I hang out with him and his dog Lola regularly. In my time of knowing Micheal, I have witnessed him showing his Boxer care and attention like she is his child. He goes out of his way to spoil Lola whether it be new toys, new treats to try, random car rides, and everyday trips to the dog park. He goes above and beyond to make sure she is happy and I have no doubt that he will do the same for your fur baby.”

We will for sure use her again and recommend her to friends!”
