Jax's stay was great for Jax. He was in good care and had his own place in the kennel. He was excited to see me when we returned from vacation to pick him up. I booked through Rover for my friend and she as well was very happy how the stay went and how professional and caring Daphne was.

Daphne came through for us in a pinch. Our original sitter fell through last minute and Daphne had an opening. She took care of Arlo and Ava very well. I would absolutely take them back to her. She is very knowledgeable, kind,and easy to communicate with.

We encountered an unexpected behavioral problem with my dog once the boarding started and I was unable to pick him up until the end of the boarding period. She found a way to safely manage the behavior and continue to provide care for my dog. I’m very grateful.

Daphne was great to work with. Callie is a new rescue and i was not sure how she would get along with other dogs. Daphne is real knowledgeable and has lots of dog experience. The stay went great.
