“10/10 Highly Recommend. Daniela did an amazing job watching my dog. I have a CaneCorso/Pit mix and she handled him with great care. She paid attention to his needs as well as giving me great advice on how I can improve his dry itchy skin that I have been struggling with. She was constant with updated while I was away and answered all my messages quickly to ensure I did not worry. The family genuinely cares for animals and are good people. There is a language barrier but google translate was helpful with drop off and pick ups!! My Boy was extremely excited meeting her which was a good sign and was happy and healthy when returning. He also was able to enjoy the huge gated back yard and love from the family! I will definitely be booking in the future. Please Don’t second guess, i promise You won’t regret it.

She was Amazing I will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
