Denise and her family took wonderful care of our dog Judy! We had never booked with them before, but had to book a week-long boarding for our dog with not a lot of notice. I am so relieved we found Denise and her family! Judy was well taken care of and treated as a part of their family. They sent lots of photos and videos and kept us updated on how she was doing. Judy loved playing in their fenced yard! They were very easy to coordinate with and incredibly kind. Will definitely book with them again :)

Pete had the best time with Denise and Mauricio’s family! They were very communicative and he came home a super happy and tired boy! It is clear that they took care of him like he was their own! Thank you so much!

Denise and Mauricio and their boys were so good to my dog while I was on a work trip!! They sent me photos every day and kept me updated consistently. My dog loves kids and she had the best time playing with them. They also have a backyard, so I knew my dog would be extremely happy since she’s an apartment pup 😊 definitely booking with them again the next time I travel!

I can't say enough good things about Denise, Mauricio, and family. They took such great care of Dolly over the Christmas holiday, and I'm so grateful. We received regular updates and delightful photos and videos. It really warmed our hearts to see Dolly enjoying herself while we were away.

This was Mufasa and Bear’s first stay with Denise and Mauricio. They took excellent care of my dogs, made sure that they were safe and loved. They sent regular updates. In the photos and videos it looked like my dogs were happy and enjoying exploring their fully fenced backyard. Highly recommend Denise and Mauricio for dog boarding!
