Ivy is so nice, flexible and accommodating. My Yorkie seemed happy in her care. Unfortunately, my Yorkie passed away in her care. She said he was fine the night before, but in the morning he was unresponsive. She took him to the vet. He was already deceased when he arrived at the vet. To be fair, I don’t know what caused my baby to be unresponsive…I will never know. I carry a small amount of guilt for not going inside the home since I’d been inside 2 years ago. I’m writing this review so that you will do a little more homework than I did. Again, I don’t know if my Yorkie just coincidentally died of natural causes or not. He was a tiny little fella and only weighed 4 pounds. It seems like he passed peacefully.

We love the whole family lol! Everyone has a hand in helping with Dro. Ivy and her crew make us feel welcomed and I know my son is always in great hands with her. They have truly become like family for us!

Schedule

My wife works from home and I board and groom pets full time. Someone is always home with the animals other than maybe a quick run to the store. Typically she is up during the day and evenings with them and I am up evenings and most overnights.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a nice big fenced in back yard with plenty of room to get the zoomies out! Frequent, supervised potty breaks helps us cut down on accidents in the house. Our 2 dogs get along very well with other dogs and cats. Our kitten hasn't decided how she feels about dogs other than her brothers, so if she doesn't like a visiting animal we have plenty of room to keep them separate if needed.

Pets

A typical day
