Linda and Dwight treat our boy like family and they'll do the same for your dog! I never have to worry about a thing when he's with them, and not only am I usually a worrywart but our pup has special needs as well. Thanks, you guys, for taking loving care of Win and for always going that extra mile. ❤️

Leaving my dogs with Linda makes me confident that they’re having a great time while I’m away. The updates and photos she sends make it clear she walks the extra mile (literally) for them, and I’m so grateful for how much she cares. This was my second time having my two dogs stay with Linda, and I’ll definitely be booking again in the future.

My dog has now stayed with Linda twice and we could not be happier with the care! My dog - who has some separation anxiety - was very happy to see Linda again when we dropped him off to spend 4 nights with her. Once again, Linda provided thorough and regular updates and photos and we had total peace of mind that our boy was content and taken care of. 🥰 Cannot recommend her enough!
