1. Olivia L.

“Lily had a great time with Olivia. We were away over 2 weeks and could tell that Lily felt safe. We knew she was well cared for. Lily developed an ear infection and Olivia handled the vet and giving Lily her meds which isn’t the easiest thing to do. When picking Lily up she was happy to see me but still ran back to Olivia to say goodbye which is always a good thing. We definitely will have Lily stay with Olivia again!”

“Once again, as we’ve come to expect, Winnie was spoiled to pieces! She came home ready to relax, which is just wonderful after our long road trip. The Salsbury family embrace her and all of her goofiness! She was even taken out for a pup icecream treat, and spent most of her time enjoying the outdoors with the kids. So grateful to have a place for her to be well taken care of and loved on while we are away!”
