Dakota was great! Communicated every day and let me know immediately when there was an issue with my pup. Will book again.

We had some bad experiences in the past with larger boarding companies but leaving our dog with Dakota was fantastic! He was able to give her all the love and attention she gets from home so it wasn't so hard for us to be away ❤️

Dakota was absolutely amazing with Rio! I was able to fully enjoy my vacation because I knew my dog was in great hands. Rio loved staying with Dakota and even had a furry friend to play with while there. I received daily pictures and fun videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Rio eats raw food and takes supplements, and Dakota followed everything carefully and made sure he received the best care possible. Rio also got tons of playtime and attention. I’m definitely booking again. Knowing Rio is with Dakota gives me complete peace of mind. Highly recommend — Rio absolutely loves him!

The last time we boarded our dog overnight, she had severe separation anxiety and didn’t eat the entire time. I knew as soon as Dakota said that she ate her dinner and slept through the night that we were in great hands. Can’t tell you enough, how relieved I was!

We are so appreciative of Dakota! He had our dog for a week. He sent daily updates and really put my mind at ease while we were away.
