Tara was great! He provided updates and pictures throughout the day. My puppy had a great time! I will definitely book again. Thanks Tara.

Tara watches my dog Yarra and my two cats when I was out of town for Christmas and she did a wonderful job caring for my pets. She was kind, attentive, and a great communicator sending lots of messages and pictures. Thank you, Tara!

Tara was accommodating with a last minute request over the holidays and was responsive, flexible and communicative. Sent me adorable photos of the dogs hanging with her kids, which I loved. Thanks Tara!!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 24, 2025

Inattentive and careless, Tara supposedly spent all day with my dog and yet did not even know his gender. Seems to be using this as a cash grab, and don’t believe the dog is getting good care
