“Simply the best. We’ve taken our boys to Kristy several times now. They know when we’re getting close to her house and always so happy to walk right inside! She’s amazing! Thank you, Kristy!”
2. Melissa H.
“Melissa was amazing. I’d never boarded my dog before and was a littler nervous. She seemed very confident when we met and I could tell my dog immediately respected her. While I was gone, she sent me pictures and updates of how my dog was doing. I can tell he enjoyed his stay with her and was taken care of. She even gave us a handwritten card saying thank you! I’ll definitely be reaching out to Melissa again if I need someone to watch him.”

I definitely will be using Jenny again when I’m in the area.”

She even gave him a bath right before coming home. Highly recommend Olivia, we will definitely use her services again in the future!”
