9. Adriana M.

“Adriana proved to be an excellent caretaker during my 14-year old dog’s three-day stay. given my dog’s age of 14 and his very limited experiences with pet boarders, he was obviously tense and i’m sure he was feeling abandoned. Adriana took care to reassure him. she is empathic to the feelings our pets have. i would be happy to ask Adriana to care for him again.”

15. Julie P.


“It is so easy to communicate with Julie. The first day we took Rey she was very sweet and asked the right questions about our dog. Our family traveled to another country and she kept us connected with pictures and stories about how much fun he was having. He learned how to play with other dogs and although he is only 5 months he stopped bitting us when we now play with him. Her and her husband are great. Thank you and looking forward to the next visit.”
