“We have already re-booked our lab mix with Austin and Francis & family for our next trip out of town! Roxy had the best time, we got regular text and photo updates, and we are so happy they enjoyed our dog as much as we do. They love animals, had a very clean home, and are excellent communicators. Would highly recommend! Their location was great for us as we were traveling south from Portland and just needed a quick detour of the highway to a small town we'd never visited.”

She made sure she had all of the info she needed and had us meet the other pups our dog would be with for the weekend before hand to make sure everyone was comfortable and the dogs would get along. Our dog is our world and we are particular about who we leave him with and we will definitely be having Grace watch him in the future!”
