Absolutely amazing! This the first time I left my dog since rescuing him and his anxiety gave me anxiety 😅. Kristina was great she answered all my questions, she was so kind when I asked stupid ones. She kept my dog safe and happy. She also works with reactive dogs great! Would recommend! Can't say it enough she is amazing!

Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!

Very appreciative of Kerry’s updates, and we could tell that Riggs felt comfortable and happy the whole time we were away. Kerry is wonderful!

Peanellopy is so professional and sweet! She is also extremely communicative and responsive. My dog is older (16, 5 years old) and kind of set in his ways. He doesn't feel comfortable with everyone, and also has some sight and hearing loss. He absolutely LOVED Peanellopy and came back home HAPPY! She was very attentive to him, and kept me informed with texts and photos, which kept me at ease knowing he's safe and comfortable and also not causing her any inconvenience. I would definitely be asking Peanellopy to take care of Jugsy again!!

Repeat customer. I don’t want to take Onyx anywhere else. Deena understands giant breeds better than most. Onyx comes home happy, well-rested, having enjoyed his play time w other dogs and endless snuggles w Deena. She’s also attentive and conscientious, pointing out a hot spot that I had not seen on Onyx’s hip. 10 stars, highly recommend.

Marquita and Maya were absolutely amazing with my Bailey Rae! I was away for nearly a week celebrating my 60th birthday in Punta Cana, and they gave me complete peace of mind. I received daily updates, photos, and videos, and it was obvious that Bailey wasn't just being boarded—she was being loved. Maya and Bailey formed such a sweet bond that by the end of the stay, Bailey would actually whine when Maya left the room. As a dog mom, that told me everything I needed to know. Communication was excellent, updates were consistent, and Bailey looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for every single day. Honestly, my only complaint is that they may have spoiled her more than I do! 😊 I trust them completely, and they will absolutely be my first choice whenever Bailey needs boarding in the future. In fact, after hearing about my experience, I've already had a friend ask for their information. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, I highly recommend Marquita and Maya. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my girl, Bailey Rae! ❤️🐾
