7. Breanna K.

“Saying Breanna was amazing is an understatement! I just got Mario and was scared of his interaction with other people because I don’t know him well enough. She sent me pictures of him throughout the day and night and was so caring and passionate about him fitting in her environment. I am so appreciative of her and would use her a million times more!”


8. Denise R.

“Denise and Mike are incredible. Our 2 dogs have stayed with them at least 3 times now and they feel right at home. This family is accommodating, quick to respond, is very communicative, and is great with sending photos. I love that they have a space with a couch that’s open and cool for the dogs to hang out in that’s in the main space of the house. The fenced in back yard allows our girls to roam and play. I trust Denise and Mike 100000% with our fur babies, it’s clear from the photos that they are well taken care of, loved, cuddled, and a part of their family while we are away. Thanks Denise and Mike!!!”

Charlie LOVED being at her house and when we went to drop him off for his stay he even remembered her from out meet and greet a few weeks before. He made himself right at home when I dropped him off and I swear he didn’t even miss us! He was so well taken care of Christine made sure to go over all of his needs and what he liked and didn’t like with me before I left.
