“We have been trying to find a place for our dog for months in the area that would provide him with the love and care we give him at home. We were about to give up until we found Che. Quick and easy drop offs, exercise, cuddles, constant videos and communication. Like is this real? Our pup came home with his tail wagging and did not immediately pass out like he does after visiting giant group daycare. He seemed well rested and happy. We will only use Che moving forward!”
