We were very nervous leaving our puppy for the first time since she is only six months old, but she came back looking so comfortable and well cared for. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Thank you for taking such great care of her and making her feel safe and happy. If we have to travel again, we will definitely book with you again.

Ariel and Jenn did a great job with my English Bulldog, Enzo. Leaving him for the first time was nerve-racking, but they made me feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Seeing Enzo at his favorite place the beach. I knew he was going to have the best weekend. It feels great knowing I now have someone I trust and can rely on when I leave town.

These individuals know exactly what they’re doing. This was the longest I’ve left my pooch and I never sensed an ounce of anxiety while I was away from my girl. This team goes above and beyond and will not only care for your dog deeply, but simultaneously provide them with an experience and environment that they may be apprehensive to depart from! I would recommend them to anyone on here, including those closest to me. Your dog will be in fantastic hands.

This was the longest we left Brew and Bonnie. Knowing that they were with Arial made us feel so much better. They are always taken care of and I love that she sends us pictures of our pups. Thank you Arial! Brew and Bonnie will miss you! See you soon!

I have been leaving my dogs (MULTIPLE times from short weekends to 3 week stays) with Rich and Arial for over a year now. I NEVER worry about my babies with them. They’re highly knowledgeable and my pups love them! When I go to pick them up, they happily greet me but always go back to play with Rich and Arial which says a lot. Also, they are super excited when I drop them off. Last stay even though it had been a few months, my girl whined to get to Arial. I couldn’t get her leash off fast enough. Highly recommend them both!

I’m very happy with Richard and Arial. My three dogs are very particular (one is not that friendly), but they enjoyed their time there. I received lots of pictures daily. I will definitely book again with them. I’m extremely grateful!!
