1. MinJun & Mi Ran P.

“MinJun and Mi Ran took great care of Lava during his stay. He can be a fussy eater sometimes, and they were very patient with him, trying different options and making sure that he didn’t go hungry. They took him out on walks and kept me updated with photos and videos! They even took him out for a drive and arranged a play date too! He came back home very happy!”


2. Margaret B.

“Keira had a fantastic stay with Margaret and her pack! I was nervous to leave our 4mo German Shepherd pup with someone so soon after getting her, and for 10 days to boot. Margaret made me feel confident that she had it covered and Keira integrated nicely into their pack. I appreciate that Margaret had a consistent schedule, providing structure for Keira, and I received a steady stream of fun updates--photos, videos, anecdotes--that made me smile and put me at ease. I love that Keira became close with one of her dogs, Ranger, and I felt very good about her getting consistent socialization at her young age. Keira came back having learned the 'down' command, jumping up less frequently, and being more disciplined than when we left her. Such a relief to have a dependable dog guru available to care for her. Super grateful to Margaret and excited to be able to book her again for stays in the future.”

“Jesse and Kimmy were so wonderful with you 3 year old Labradoodle. Peet felt right at home and really settled in nicely. We received many updates and pics throughout the way. Will be rebooking again soon!! Thank you for loving our sweet pup while we were away!”


6. Jifu Y.

“Our 1-year-old mini Aussie, Woby, had a wonderful time staying with Jifu while we were away for over a week. It was our first boarding experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better home for him. Jifu was incredibly attentive, providing us with constant updates with photos and videos. We were so relieved to see how happy, relaxed and healthy Woby was in their care. He loved running and playing tennis balls in the backyard, and chewing on toys indoors when it gets too hot outside. Jifu's super friendly dog, Joki, was also a great companion. We're so grateful for Jifu's reliability and kindness, and we'll definitely return for future boarding needs.”


7. Christopher D.


“Christopher was so caring and considerate when caring for Toko & Arya, my two nervous pups for a weekend. He went as far as spoon feeding Arya as she was adjusting to her new surroundings, which was incredibly patient. We got frequent updates and plenty of pictures of them, which went a long way in reassuring me that they were doing great while we were away! Christopher was also communicative and flexible when our plans changed and we ended up coming back a little earlier than expected. I will definitely be booking with him again!”

10. Donna B.

“Donna and Ralph took Bagheera right into their hearts. Their photos showed him snuggling and at home in their comfortable house. Our communication was excellent. I hope he can visit with them again and again!”


11. Liliane L.

“We are very happy with how Liliane took care of our dog, Honey. We could tell during the meet and greet that Honey would have wonderful attention which helped us relax as she is very attached to her human parents. We do not often board Honey but our grandson is allergic to dogs so we needed to have a place for her to stay while we were visiting our son's family. We could tell Liliane was attentive and caring about Honey's needs throughout her stay. We received photos and messages frequently which we loved and helped us to know all was well. It made our day to hear the sound of another message/photo coming through! Honey had walks, a backyard to roam, and a buddy with Liliane's dog, Dodger. Thank you Liliane for all your care and attention. We will definitely call on you gain.”
