“Cannot praise her enough for how much above and beyond she went to take care of my dog while I was away for 3 days for the first time. I was anxious and worried but she kept me updated every 2-3 hours with photos and comments on how my fur baby was doing. At the end of the day she wrote me a summary of my dog's day! My dog got along very well with her dog Summer. She treated my dog with true love and even took him to the beach and also offered to give him a bath. She was cuddling with my baby and gave him lots of love. It was absolutely an incredible experience with her and I will look nowhere else for my dog's day care/boarding services. Thanks again!”
