1. Yesika S.
“Yesika watched over my 5 yo lab for a 10 night stay, and she was wonderful! This was a first time booking for us, and Yesika was responsive and asked a lot of great questions about my pup and her habits. Once she was there, Yesika was very communicative and sent lots of great pictures. I never like leaving my pup, but I knew she was in a caring and safe place. My pup got lots of exercise and met a ton of new friends over these 10 days! We will definitely use Yesika again!”

“Linda was so kind and sweet withy dog. She sent updates and pictures. She has a great dog-friendly couch my dog loved, and she got non-skid mats to make sure my dog was comfortable. My dog is elderly so can either be sleepy and peaceful or need a little extra TLC, and Linda took great care of her. She was attentive to my dog’s needs, health, and comfort. I would be happy to trust Linda with my dog’s care again!”

11. Oana & Oliver B.
“Oana and Oliver were absolutely amazing and we are so appreciative that they took such wonderful care of our Frenchie, Indi! This was the first time we were leaving Indi with someone other than friends or family and were a bit tentative of the thought of it. However, Oana and Oliver were so thorough and dedicated to knowing her routine and health issues that they put us entirely at ease. Indi had an absolute blast with them during her long weekend stay and they kept us updated by sending a ton of pictures of her, which was so appreciated. We cannot say enough wonderful things about the care that Oana and Oliver put into keeping your furry friend safe and sound. We would absolutely recommend them and will certainly be using them in the future to look after Indi!”

I had such a peace of mind knowing he was well loved and will absolutely be a repeat client.”
