“For being a first time user and having my dog watched for the first time, I'm absolutely overly satisfied with the services we received! Communication was there, the process of meeting and greeting was smooth and easy, pictures were sent to me throughout my vacation(I LOVED), and just having the overall feeling that my dog was okay safe and well taken care of was a big PLUS for me being on vacation on the other side of the world! I could sit here and write a whole paragraph or more on all of the positive and my experience but, I will keep it short and say I just HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you again for your services!”

18. Mary B.
“Mary is AMAZING! Very welcoming and I even got a couple pictures of my fur-baby having the time of her life while hanging out w/Mary, Socks, and another puppers she was sitting. We did a meet-and-greet before officially confirming the booking which solidified my comfort that Koda would be in good care. Mary has a large fenced in yard on a larger plot of land. Her prices are MORE than fair, so I was sure to give her a lil something extra when picking up my girl. THANK YOU MARY!! I know Koda will be happy to see you and Socks again on my next trip. <3”
