McGregor loved his time with Shelby! She sent lots of updates and took the time to get to know him when I dropped him off. He came home worn out and the happiest of campers!

About: I grew up with dogs and love them! I am a current dog mom to a spunky 3 year old golden retriever. We spent two years training him in home and out. I am currently a work from home employee so I am happy to let the pups out at any time of the day and can walk them after work. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard for the dogs to play in! My dog is super friendly and will love having play dates. He is neutered as well!

Jenny and Remy were great hosts! We were a bit nervous for our first day, and appreciated Jenny providing some updates throughout the day. Looking forward to future stays!

I have used Angie for in home drop ins and in home day care at her place. I had a senior dog and she took the time to learn his needs, and understands the personality of high strung crazy golden retriever. Also love getting the text and picture updates. She was very willing to help me out when I was in pinch also!
