Dana and Kevin were amazing in providing heartfelt care and attention to our little Phoebe. We were nervous first-timers and their patience, understanding and experience was evident and reassuring from the beginning. We arranged one afternoon play date for Phoebe and were reassured afterwards that an over-night stay was not needed. What a wonderful sense of calm we felt. Our Phoebs would be well-loved and safe and we could enjoy our two week vacation. We would recommend Dana and Kevin in a heartbeat.💓

This is our second time boarding Dotto with Dana and Kevin. I never worried about boarding her, since they are wonderful people to trust her with. Dotto absolutely loves staying with them, and she always seems so happy afterward. Dana keeps us updated throughout the stay, letting us know how Dotto is doing. We’ll definitely keep coming back for future boardings - thank you for taking such great care of Dotto!

We were away for 9 days and I never worried for a second because Dana is always so kind and caring with our Lola! Even this time when she had some bad behaviour Dana mentioned it without judgment just so I would be aware in future. I will definitely ask Dana to look after Lola again!

After meeting Dana and Kevin, I knew right away that my older girl was going to be well taken care of. Thank you for looking after her and making me feel comfortable while I was away.

What a great first experience using this service. We couldn't have asked for a better person to take our boy. We received daily updates, photos, and the peace of mind that our dog was being taken care of better than anywhere else that we could have left him. Thank you Dana, for being so accommodating and great with Larry. He came home very happy! We would not hesitate to use you again.
