“I had a great experience boarding my dog with Melissa. This was a last-minute booking, and as a first-time boarder, I was a bit nervous, especially since my dog has slight reactivity. But Melissa was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. Her home is well set up for dogs, including a fenced-in yard, which gave me peace of mind. She was especially understanding and flexible when my flight got delayed and I had to pick up my dog later than planned. I really appreciated her communication and care. Highly recommend Melissa if you’re looking for someone trustworthy and dog-savvy!”

We would definitely recommend Laura to take excellent care of your furry friend.”

“Jill was wonderful! We were in a particularly tough situation and she went above and beyond to make sure my pups and I were all very comfortable. She treated them like two of her own. My dogs had a wonderful time exploring her fenced in farm and had a vacation of their own. She routinely sent pictures, many of which were of them exhausted after play time! I will 100% use Jill again!”
