Michael P. was fantastic taking care of my Rex during our week long vacation. I will book my next vacation with Michael as I know Rex is in good hands.

Sunny always comes home well loved and exhausted! Our dog gets excited when we pull in the driveway every time! Michael handled our dog needing medication with ease while we were away.

Michael and Tracy were wonderful with my boy Remy. They were flexible with pick up/drop off and responsive to any messages I sent. I really appreciate the photos they sent as I suspect Remy had the time of his life playing with his new best dog friend that he met there! Highly recommend this sweet couple and would use them again.
