“Even just a couple of days, Jennie and Bennie took good care of my cat Ophelia. They post pictures a few times a day with information of mood and appetite. They also handle her ear condition with attention and cares. When I visited, I saw their place is clean and designed for cats too. I’m so glad I chose them for boarding!”

“Dulcet is amazing!! I was really nervous leaving Alice with dirty. She never had been left. Dulce had Alice in her arms with in 15 minutes. Alice was very well cared and loved on while we were gone. I would recommend Dulce to everyone. Dulce sent us so many pictures to assure us Alice was doing great. She walked her so much!! Plus when we come back to the area we will be sure call Dulce. Thank you so much Dulce!! Love Alice! ?”
“Maria is such a caring and kind person. Always updating me regarding the health and safety of my puppy. She treated Akira as her family and made sure she was comfortable. She respected my instructions and politely asked if she can help with training or other activities. I would definitely recommend her and most definitely rebook in the future.”
“Our two pups, Lola and BB, love Thavery! Thavery sends daily photo updates and takes the girls on fun walks. We trust her to administer all the necessary medication that our 14 year dog needs. One of our dogs hurt her leg recently, and Thavery was so accomodating to her needs.”
“Jesslyn was a wonderful dog sitter. Our corgi had the best weekend and we received the cutest pictures and updates. She came back extremely happy and well cared for, and Jesslyn was amazing at keeping in contact before and during her stay. I can't recommend Jesslyn enough!!”
“Emily and Gabriel were absolutely amazing with my two dogs. They were responsive to messages, sent frequent updates and pictures. They showered my pups with love and it was evident when I picked them up. They were flexible with my schedule, even grabbed extra dog food for me when I was delayed getting back. I am so thankful for them playing with, loving on, and caring for my pups the way they did. The yard was perfect, they got plenty of playtime, even walks. I will absolutely be rebooking with them in the future!!”
“Nancy and Richard are the very best! They have a wonderful home for taking care of your dog, and a wonderful enclosed backyard. My dogs received the best of care, and more walks than I can do. I would highly recommend them for your fur babies!”
“Patricia was fantastic, it was our first time that our pooch visited and Rudy could not have been happier. She has an open home and went out of her way to make sure Rudy was comfortable. With her cats, Patricia knew how to introduce them so Rudy would make friends with all the animals there (the house is set up so they can keep separate if needed). We received pictures of Rudy, and I really could not have been happier with the care. Her high rating is well deserved, will book again, thanks Patricia!”

Organized , diligent, caring . She exercises, feeds, entertains and dotes on your dog 24/7. I wouldn’t use anyone else !!
