Doggy Day Care • Oct 23, 2025

We really appreciated the updates and pictures. It is not easy for us to find good people fir our dog as she is really shy. But we had right away a good feeling that they are loving and patience enough. Thank you!

Boarding • Sep 20, 2025

This was the first time I left my insecure little dog with a stranger. Her regular sitter was away so I entrusted her with Marcel and although I was apprehensive at first, I am so glad she got to experience a little “holiday” away from me. She played lots with their dog and went on daily walks (which I was also worried about because of her reactivity) but she apparently did well and is actually better now than she was before. I think it was a very positive experience for both me and my dog.
