Extremely good with pictures & videos. Great backyard with a lot of opportunity for outdoor activity during day & night. Spoiling our dog. No doubt, Chloe had a great time. Thanks!

Kim was awesome. Maddie got a lot of love during her stay. She was even invited to sleep in bed with her. We also loved all the pictures and updates while we were away. We will definitely use Kim again
