“This is our second time booking with Cynthia. Good communication and updates with pictures and photos, but more importantly you can tell she really cares. Harley has come out happy each time and we will definitely keep using Cynthia in the future.”
“This was my first time leaving my 8 month old puppy since I got him. He is a pretty anxious dog, which made me an anxious mother. Clayton and Brittany were great; they were unfazed by his quirks, and allowed him space to adjust. Apparently he adjusted just fine; climbing into laps. They have a large fenced yard and two lively dogs; such a fun, busy weekend for my pup! I highly recommend them…”
“Reuben was so great with Buddy! Sent pics and updates throughout the two weeks. My dog seemed to have a great time with Reuben and especially with his own dog! I would definitely recommend Reuben!”
“Penny and her husband were so great with Winston. She kept me updated throughout his stay and he was very happy when I arrived to pick him up after my trip. He also got along with her dogs as well which is great! Will not hesitate to book again!”
“Svitlana was so great with Birdie. She sent updates and pictures which really set our mind at ease because Birdie isn't used to being away from us for a long weekend. She took Birdie on walks and let her chill on the couch. Thanks for all your care with Birdie!”
