“May was spectacular! She was so sweet to my FiFi. They went on long walks and she cuddled with my baby girl. FiFi does not like everyone and she seemed to really bond well with May. May also sent photos and videos so I could see the fun that FiFi was having. I will definitely be booking with May again!”
6. Aime C.
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Aime and John! From the meet and greet to the end of my pup’s stay, I felt so comfortable knowing that she was in good hands and getting a lot of love. I had some flight and transportation issues on the morning of pick up and they were so accommodating and kind while I figured it all out. I’m so appreciative, and as long as they’ll take her, I’ll be bringing my girl back!”

“Blake is not only the best dog and cat mom herself but she cares for other people’s pets the same way! It is so hard to find someone who you trust with your pet’s care but she is 10/10. Her gentle and kind demeanor is wonderful and keeps pets at ease. She is very organized and timely so it keeps pets regimented on their schedules. I highly recommend Blake and always trust her with my fur babies.”

We truly appreciate Teri and all she does for our pup, and for our peace of mind.”

From the moment I met her, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them with great care and attention. She went above and beyond to ensure my cats were comfortable, happy, and well looked after. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind. When I returned, my cats were calm and content, which speaks volumes about the quality of care Julianna provided. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to take care of your pets, Julianna is the one to call.”
