I can't recommend Masumi highly enough. During Piper's second longer stay with her family, I received daily updates with photos and videos, which put my mind at ease. It was obvious that my dog was loved and well cared for. Thank you!

Emily and Patrick were absolutely incredible with Isla! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Their dog, Winter, got along so well with Isla, and it was heartwarming to see how much fun they had together. They went above and beyond to make sure Isla was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We also want to give a big thank you to their son, who was so sweet and played with Isla! Their patience and attentiveness truly made a difference, and we couldn’t be happier with their boarding services. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!

My dog loves Lorena and Andreas so much! She is always so excited to see them. They love and treat my dog like she is their own. My dog looks so happy in the pictures of the walks, backyard playtime or snuggles she is getting. It is such relief to know is so well taken care of and getting plenty of play and affection.

This is our first time using Gaby and we chose her because she had experience with older dogs. My dog Julz needs extra care. We did a pre-visit before our vacation to make sure they got along and everything went great. During our trip, she took extra special care of Julz and made sure to send me picture updates often which we appreciate. Julz takes multiple medications as well and Gaby had no issues giving them to her. She was there a total of five days and we are very happy with her care and will definitely use Gaby again.

We were very impressed by how well they worked/connected with Winston. We received at least 3 pictures a day of him playing and smiling. He LOVED them and their pets. We will definitely use yall again. We were SO impressed with them. We have used kennels and other dog watching places and they were expensive and only let him play outside a few times in a week. With Mireya he got to go out multiple times a day, got snuggles, and got to play with other dogs. we will never use a kennel again. We will only use Mireya now. Thank you for treating Winston like he is your own! We will tell all of our pet parent friends to use you!

Sreymom and her family are excellent caretakers. They understood that Axel prefers to stay with people rather than dogs, and accommodated his needs - very knowledgeable on the husky breed. He’s also on steroids so he has to be taken out more frequently than not. I know it wasn’t easy taking care of him, and Sreymom was excellent at being accommodating, patient, and understanding. He came home a very tired, peaceful, and happy boy. I will definitely book again, and highly recommend her to anyone! :)
