Mocha is fantastic! Very long and detailed updates with plenty of photos and videos every day. She takes great care of our dogs. She also has a huge fenced in backyard which is perfect for our dogs. Would highly recommend.

ONLY BOOK IF YOU WANT YOUR FURBABY TO BE FEROCIOUSLY LOVED AND SPOILED!! From the moment I booked with Shakimbra, her energy was warm, inviting and loving. I could seriously sense she has true compassion for animals, and that was shown in her first message. She sent a very enthusiastic and detailed message about how she couldn't wait to care for my boy. This was foreshadowing, as the days to follow were filled with DETAILED and THOROUGH recounts of the days they had together. Was I a bit jealous of the fun he was having? Yes. But that is a good problem to have! She has a very spacious back yard, a serene home perfect for cuddles and lounging, and she loves outdoor adventures which is great if your furbaby loves the outdoors! She is sincere in her love for our babies, which gave me such great comfort and peace when having her care for him. PROCEED WITH CAUTION, unless you want to form a lasting bond and watch your dog run in their dream and wonder if they are thinking about the fun they had with her. It's too late for me, I already have her locked in for life. You've been warned... :)

Exceptional experience. Communication was frequent and thorough. She managed my dogs’ food and play preferences. Her home is clean and animal-friendly. Shakimbra takes well to fur-kids as my typically antisocial pups quickly warmed to her. Would 100% board with her again.

Shakimbra was such a perfect match for my fur babies! She was very welcoming and communicative! Great updates with photos and detailed updates! My fur babies were gravitated to her energy from the start and already were sitting as close as possible! The large fenced backyard was also excellent as my dogs love to explore. 10/10 recommend!

My dog came back happy and healthy! It's very clear that she's a dog lover and that my dog has a really great little vacation
