Happy Havanese Hotel

Pet care experience

* Small Dogs Only - up to 25 lbs.* I have been a doggy parent to Lhasa Apsos and Havanese for over 20 years and am a stay-at-home Mom to our three Havanese. We also foster for Havanese Rescue Inc. (HRI), a nationwide, foster-based rescue. From time to time, we will have a foster dog staying with us before going to his Forever Home. Two of our dogs came from shelters and the third from HRI. Our dogs have attended classes and love to practice and learn new tricks. We also have a small set-up for agility practice for our fenced front yard. We go often to the best dog park in the San Francisco Bay Area - Pt Isabel - ALWAYS on leash. Safety First!

Starr to great care of our havanese puppy, Luna who was tiny and had never been away from us. She was very helpful with the drop off and pick up process (the former being difficult for me)! We highly recommend her and loved the photos and feedback she provided during our trip. She even figured out Luna only ate out of a stainless bowl after I forgot hers and that was a datapoint we didn't even know but after much trial and error Starr had her eating very well and took great care in making sure all was as much like home as it could be. we really appreciated her care!!!

Friendly people but not a lot of space/yard.

Can't thank you enough Starr J! Wesley, our small Pomeranian mix, had a fulfilling vacation staying with Starr J for 30 days. When our daughter dropped him off at Starr's, Wesley was on medication and a bland diet, he was recovering from eating spicy taco meat a few days before we were to leave. Starr had his habits figured out and knew what Wesley needed to be a happy, healthy dog. She emailed us to assure us he was doing great and eating again, the message came with photos of a happy healthy Wesley! You can imagine the relief we felt. When we picked him up we could tell that he was comfortable with Starr and his surroundings. I would recommend Starr to my friends, she is caring, competent and knows dogs. Thanks again Starr! Linda C. P.S. We will be contacting DogVacay.com the next time Wesley needs a vacation. All aspects of DogVacay work great. From the meet and greet, to the drop off and then picking up Wesley --- everything is clear and simple to follow for this site. Thank you Starr and DogVacay!
