My 21 month old golden doodle, Cali, recently stayed with Merley for almost a week and had a great stay. Merley treated Cali like she was one of the family-taking her to the dog park, providing special treats, playing and even taking her to get a pup cup at Starbucks!! She has a very well mannered 4 year old Australian Shepard named Bruno, who Cali got along well with, as I received a picture of them playing tug-a-war something she had never done with another dog before! Merley sent lots of photos throughout the week, so I knew Cali was fine. I highly recommend Merley and would 100% rebook with her!

Merley was the best! She was responsive, communicated well throughout our dogs’ stay, and was accommodating. She’s extremely knowledgeable and wants the very best for your pets. Thank you, Merley!

Merley was absolutely 1000% fantastic. I literally cannot think of a single negative thing to say. She was very responsive, worked with my schedule, and totally pampered my dogs. They got so much attention and treats and playtime. They had a great time! I would not hesitate to board my dogs with Merley again.

Medley was incredible. She stepping in at the last minute. Her home is full of love and care. Willow had all the play and snuggles she could handle. Bruno the dog is super patient and gentle. I would leave our pups here anytime!!!
