“Tobi is amazing! She always takes such wonderful care of our sweet Emme girl! If you want someone who loves fur babies and will take great care of them, you’ve found her! Thank you, Tobi! 🐶❤️”
“The Frances experience is outstanding! Starting with her epic 2 acre fenced yard that has lots of toys, the awesome ambassadors of the estate, her dogs Maggie & Cooper, her dog friendly & spacious house... all tied together by a woman who knows dogs & knows how to have fun and show my Border Collie Tux a great and welcoming time. As much as I & my family liked her, Tux liked her even more. Frances is our fifth 5 star dog boarding professional and she is by far Tux's favorite. He had a terrific weekend with her!”

Our pup is normally pretty anxious in unfamiliar environments, but after spending a few days with Sarah, she was perfectly happy upon our return. Pupper even insisted on saying goodbye before we left :) It was so nice knowing she was being well-cared for while we were away!”
“Kana is the best sitter ever. So relieved to find someone who truly takes great care of my Stella. Stella really missed her backyard and the other dogs. Very safe place for doggies and I will definitely use Kana again. Highly recommend them. Thanks so much!!!”
