Vanessa was excellent throughout the entire time, taking great care of our dogs and sending photo updates regularly. I was very happy with the stay and highly recommend her!

The first good experience we've ever had leaving a pet with another person, and let me clarify; this experience was not good. It was amazing. He came back with the same hard-earned manners he left us with (we have never had that experience with any of our dogs before) and he was SO HAPPY! We woke up to photos of Navarro's big happy grin as he was being loved on by her wonderful children. Vanessa is incredibly communicative and helpful, and she treated Navi not only amazingly, but CONSISTENTLY. He's 5 months old. We are training him heavily and he's learning well; we were terrified of losing that to loose supervision or lax rules. Vanessa and her family practiced all of his commands enough to keep him very sharp. Especially "paw", as he now offers it as a "hello", which is really a very charming development. We will be back to the Escondido area with him and will look forward to having him visit again while we enjoy the not so pet friendly parts of San Diego. Couldn't recommend her enough.
