Carina is the best for Alex! And her back yard is a great place to play and run. Everyday I got multiple photos and videos about Alex, he looks very happy!

Carina is simply the best! Tuscan could not have enjoyed better care if he was with me at home. Carina has my (and Tuscan’s) full confidence based on Tuscan’s ease and content demeanor while in Carina’s care. Highest possible recommendation to care for your cherished furry babies!

Carina was simply amazing!! Tuscan has survived physical and emotional trauma and has special needs, but despite what he survived, I was able to rest easy knowing that Carina put Tuscan at ease. We were traveling and never had to request photos because Carina anticipated our desire to see how Tuscan was getting along. The most wonderful thing was to see Tuscan cuddling up in Carina's arms when we arrived at the end of his stay! We could not be happier with Carina's care of Tuscan and her communication with us. What a delight!! There are not enough stars for a proper rating! Thank you Carina!
