I knew immediately when I met Sonya that she knows her stuff about dogs and that she is a talented and experienced professional. My anxious and high energy pup did really well with her at the meet and greet so we agreed to leave Maya with her when we went out of town for a short trip. While away, we got consistent, high-quality communication that put us at ease that our dog was not only safe but having a blast! Sonya is amazing and we’re so glad that we found her, we would definitely love for Maya to stay with her again soon!

Sonya was amazing and really saved us on a last minute trip. Her professionalism and set up are top tier and we definitely plan to utilize her services in the future for our boy Mochi.
