Bear was treated outstanding. I received daily updates and felt very confident Bear was being treated like a king. Definitely will book again!

Melanie was amazing with our dog duke! She played with him and loved him like he was her own.

Schedule

I am also an Uber driver, so I am extremely flexible to make sure your personal needs are met. I can drop in once a day, or as many times as necessary to make sure your fur-friends are behaving ;). Your fur-baby staying at my house? They're gonna get spoiled! We go to the pool, the sound, the parks, just about anywhere they allow dogs. I arrange play dates and we walk. Lots of love and attention!
