Boarding • Aug 01, 2026

Phil and his wife were amazing! We highly recommend. They provided a wonderful environment for our dog, Remy. They were very responsive and communicative, making sure everything was smooth and easy for us and our dog. Phil was also very flexible with the timing, as we had a very early morning flight--which we appreciated! They sent us great pics while we were away and made sure Remy was well taken care of. Remy was in fantastic hands. We will 100% use Phil and his wife again when we go out of town!

Tried the boarding option during a last minute work trip and both my dogs were very happy. It was nice to not be worried about the pups.
