1. Michael P.
“I am so happy I chose Michael to care for my Aussie Layla. She is like my child and I was worried about leaving her but Michael immediately put my mind at ease. He was so warm and welcoming and Layla went right to him. It was apparent how much he loves dogs. His home and fenced yard provided a safe environment with plenty of room to roam. He took Layla on nice walks and stayed in touch with me through texts and pictures. I will definitely continue to use him for any future needs.”
2. Marta G.
“This review has been long overdue. Bruno has been with Marta atleast on 3 different occasions now and each time he has been well cared for. He is a very active dog and gets lot of playtime in the backyard. Bruno has issues with his eating habits and Marta has made sure he doesn't skip meals. For all the stays, she has kept me updated about each day and sent a lot of pics. When our flight was delayed she was understanding and flexible with pickup timings. All in all, Bruno is loved at Martas place and he looks forward to his visits there. We feel comfortable dropping him there, knowing he gets lot of love and attention.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Xiaolin and her husband!! They were absolutely incredible with our rescue dog. This was the first time leaving our dog with anyone for even a night, and they were so amazing with him. He acclimated right away and seemed SO happy in all the photos she sent. He can be very frightened with new people but took to Xiaolin and her husband right away. I would 1000 times recommend Xiaolin!”
