“We, like most pet owners I am sure, were very hesitant to leave our crazy dog with a stranger. Unfortunately A family emergency left us no choice. Once we decided to commit we did a meet n greet with Emanuel (Manny). Emanuel’s love for our four legged animals was apparent from the first meet. During the course of our time away we were given updates and photos of our happy dog. We just picked him up and he was well cared for. We are grateful that should the need to board our Wiley we have a contact that we, including Wiley, can trust.”

There was good communication prior to drop off and daily updates with pictures during his stay.

Sarah and Doug said he did well and was welcome to stay again. We felt very good about the experience and would book again.”
