“Shania was super friendly and kind. Both my dogs loved her when she met with us. She was willing to meet the dogs a few days before our trip so they could get used to her. I highly recommend Shania for your doggie needs!”
“Marlena was awesome! She took care of my pup like he was her own. Not only was she accommodating on such short notice she took the time out to provide updates throughout the day. Marlena sent pics of walks and activities they did, which really meant alot. It's good to know that my pup was well taken care of and if you're lucky enough to book Marlena, just know that your fur baby is in very good hands. Excellent job!!”
