Wonderful experience with Edward! Sent us videos and pictures throughout the time our dog was in boarding. Great setup, response time, and care for our 1yr old playful golden retriever.

Eddie was absolutely wonderful with our furbaby! We felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such good hands. She was very well cared for and clearly enjoyed her stay with Eddie. It gave us great peace of mind knowing she was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. We highly recommend Eddie and would definitely trust him with our furbaby again. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent service! My senior pet was well taken care of, we received pics during his stay and Ed had no issues giving my pet his daily meds. Great experience for our Cooper and can’t wait to book again.

Bo stayed with Ed for 3.5 weeks. Ed sent regular bideos of Bo, interacting with Ed and often playing with other dogs. Bo appeared engaged and happy to be with the other dogs. Ed complied with all our requests. He has a gentle and kind manner. When we picked up Bo he easily returned to his routine at home. We would not hesitate to recommend him and look forward to using his services in the future.

A typical day

We play fetch and run freely around the fully fenced-in, secure yard. Then have some treats, some nice cold water, then relax together in my den.

I love doing meet-and-greets to get to know your pup before their stay! I’ll ask a few easy questions — like if they’re up to date on vaccines and flea/tick meds, if they’re feeling fresh and groomed, and how they like to make new doggy friends.
