Monique is amazing with our boy, Ringo. He loves going to stay with her and always comes home well taken care of. Communication is great and we don't have to worry about him when he's with her. We will continue being repeat customers for sure!

Monique always does such a good job with our pup. She sends constant updates that I can check in my free time. I can tell she is very attentive and affectionate. She started working with our pup on some light training with this last stay and he came home much more confident in his sit and leash handling. Definitely would recommend!
