Desiree was great with Mick! Very communicative, took him on a bunch of walks, make sure he got some lovin', and made me feel very comfortable leaving him with her. Would definitely book again.

Your pup loved his rover. He only barked nice things about his experience. He said accommodations were supreme and hardly any fur. Wood recommend, 5 paws.

Desiree was wonderful with Penny. She was commutative from the start all the way through pick up which made being way a lot easier. Her home is lovely and she has a great fenced yard out back, plus a very sweet dog of her own. She paid close attention to pennies routine and needs without me having to remind her. Booking with her again.

Desiree was amazing, she took great care of my Winston. We got daily updates and she stayed in contact for any questions. She was also really flexible and accommodating for a last minute booking. 10/10 will book her again!
