We are frequent return clients of Chieko. We always book her when we need coverage for our pup. She is very sweet and kind. See you next time Chieko!

It was my dog’s first time daycare, and thanks to Chieko’s sincere care, he could do it well!

We booked Chieko last minute again and she always accommodates. We love that Chieko stays with our pup for the duration of the booking. Our pup gets very anxious when left alone. Thank you Chieko!

Chieko, was very kind to watch our two pups. Chieko sent us lots of pictures and both came back happy after staying with her for a few days.
