We really apppreciated his service and will definitely use him again next time!”

We were updated frequently and received photos letting us know all was well. Maverick has a new best friend in Arvon.”
“Karen was great with our 15 year old dog. She kept us informed, sent pictures and spoiled her! She was great with having a meet and greet ahead of time. We would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Our Toby has boarded with Deana multiple times. We couldn’t be happier with how she lovingly cares for our senior pup and can’t recommend her enough for your furries! She clearly loves dogs, and her little dog Shaggy is very friendly and open to sharing his mom, dad, and home with visiting dogs. Our dog has become somewhat anxious in his advancing years and is on multiple oral meds. When I pick him up at the end of his stay with Deana, he seems relaxed and happy… not at all anxious, which is a very welcome surprise! I would highly recommend Deana as a trustworthy and loving carer for your dog when you have to be away.”
“As always, Catherine did a great job. The dogs had a great time and were well cared for. Both dogs were excited to return to Catherine's house and not at all eager to leave!”
“Laura was wonderful. She had a fenced yard and two dogs for our dog to play with. She was so understanding when he had some loose stools. Even fed him some rice. She went above and beyond. I wish she had clones in every place we stay. Would definitely use again. She also kept us updated and sent pictures.”
