I am thrilled to have a welcoming, fun, and safe place for my two energetic to stay. They loved playing with new friends and I loved getting photos of the pups in action.

My dogs had a blast with James. He communicated well with us and double checked just to make sure that he was feeding them on the right schedule. Big back yard and when I picked up my dogs they were exhausted from all the playing outside. Thanks again and hope to board with you again in the future!

James helped my older dog who had a traumatic kennel stay years ago. She has been fearful of other animals since then, and after a day with James she was playing with other pups and was having so much fun. She came home happy, tired and safe. Highly recommend!
