Reviews

Great experience for Violet while she stayed with Paul and Bella. She either was exhausted of chasing Bella all weekend long in the yard or missed her that match because Violet stayed on the coach sleeping the whole day after coming back home! ❤️ We received messages and pictures during the stay and we really appreciate Paul's engagement and care. We will definitely use Paul's services again!

Thank you so much for your wonderful care of Sammy. You and your wife are very caring, compassionate people and did a wonderful job with our sweet Sammy, an older dog who still has lots of love to give. We would definitely recommend you and Sammy hopes to see you again.


Paul was very kind and came out the day before to meet the dogs. He followed up with pictures of the dog on a walk and definitely made me feel at ease! I would highly recommend him!
Paul and his family were so loving to my dog and took the best care of him! They seemed to really enjoy having him there, made sure he had the exercise he needed and even enjoyed snuggling with him. He was there for a week and I believe was well cared for. Will be a repeat client.
