Reviews

Duane & Michelle are amazing hosts. They’re communicative, punctual, genuinely love and care - which shows in their service during the boarding. Will definitely re-book in the future, they are awesome!

Duane and Michelle were so accommodating for last minute plans and super friendly. They updated me with pictures and activities Kylo had a blast !

Super nice and caring couple. They sent me pictures throughout the stay. Highly recommend.

Duane and Michelle are the BEST, in my opinion! Kind, sweet, and easy to communicate with, and very accommodating with our schedule. They took amazing care of our dog—responsible, loving, and above and beyond our expectations. Thank you! We’d love to book with them again!
