Marc and Alysia plus family were great with Bella. I would definitely bring her back for them to watch her. It felt like she was part of their family. They are all great.

Thanks Marc and Alysia for a great stay for Beau! I loved that your family seemed to really enjoy my dog and he seemed very comfortable with you. Your boys were lovely and I'm sure made Beau's stay even better! Your backyard is amazing too and was a perfect spot for Beau to run around and play. I also appreciated the picture updates you provided. The only slight constructive feedback that I could provide is that when I arrived, I found your house to be very warm. I'm used to a cooler space but I'm sure Beau was fine and I know you had water out for him to drink and a great back yard for cool fresh air. That's the only feedback I would provide but again, it's just my personal preference. Thanks again for taking such good care of Beau. We'll be back!
