“Ronda was wonderful with our dog, Louise. We had never left her with anyone before this 3 day getaway. Ronda knew that we had concerns and she regularly sent us pictures and updates, which eased our minds, as we could see that our dog was getting plenty of love and attention, and had settled in for her stay. Louise appreciates attention and the feel of a warm home environment, which is just what Ronda gave her. We have already recommended Ronda to a relative who is looking for an in home boarding situation. Ronda is the best!”
“Jalaina did a great job looking after my dog Baxter. Typically, I board him with a kennel, but he hates being in a cage and restricted. Jalaina was all I could have hoped for. She sent numerous pictures of Baxter that allowed me to have peace of mind when I needed a last minute sitter and a “homey” environment for Baxter. He warmed up to her immediately and even got comfy on her couch. Also, she walked him daily and when I picked him up he wasn’t anxious as he has been in kennel environments. I almost forgot to mention that she watched my Mom’s dog as well in the same weekend. We wanted to board them together because they are with each other most days. I can’t say enough about Jalaina and her sweet and gentle spirit which is why I think both dogs had such an enjoyable stay and I will not hesitate to book her again.”
“So happy with Ranger’s first boarding experience! Great welcoming and comfortable home. Jonathan was a great communicator and had great feedback about my large breed dog. Am completely comfortable booking for a longer trip in my near future!”
“If there was a rate of 10 stars Briana would get it! The communication is fabulous along with the pictures of our sweet Samoyed with her family and their dog, Duke. We are at easy knowing our sweet boy is being well taken care of when we travel.”
