9. Marta F.

“I am always hesitant to leave my dog with anyone, but Marta made me feel so comfortable and I knew Hibana would be in great hands! I knew from the moment we did a meet & greet before we officially did the booking. Helped me get to know her and her own two dogs and it was great! Hibana has the best 5 days there :) and I got pictures every day which made me feel better about leaving my dog lol. Hibana is an apartment dog so she was in love with Marta’s back yard. And since this is Marta’s full time job her attention was on the dogs all the time. Would 100% recommend. If I could give her 10 stars I would lol.”


10. Crystal S.

“Crystal is amazing!! This is the second time she has watched Mila and she truly makes her home a second home for Mila. Crystal puts great care into every single day with walks, treats, cuddles and so much more. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars!”




11. Michelle M.

“I highly recomend Michele. She was always quick to respnd. She sent many pictures every day so I could see that my boy was enjoying his stay. She has a beautiful backyard that my boy enjoyed running around. The best part of my boys stay at Michele's house is that he made a bunch of new playmates cand canine fcompanions.”
