“I appreciated Dayana’s quick response and willingness to accept a last minute boarding request for our dog while away for a long weekend. She allowed me to stop by ahead of booking with her to view her house and yard. She has a thoughtful set up for ensuring dogs will be comfortable in her house with dog beds, toys, and treats. She was also flexible to accept a later pick-up time when we returned home. Dayana sent both pictures and videos, which made me feel comfortable that our dog was in good hands. I would use her again.”
“Matt is absolutely amazing. He really took care of my dog during the 40 days we were away. He sent pics and videos daily and he's really responsive to questions and requests. My dog had a good time with Matt. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who needs boarding service.”
“Philip and Chelsea were amazing with our dog Cooper! We were a little nervous, since this was Cooper’s first time away from us. Though Cooper was nervous at first he warmed right up to Philip and Chelsea and the other dogs that were there. We loved the pictures and updates we got about Cooper’s visit. I highly recommend having Philip and Chelsea watch your dog. They are great with dogs, have an amazing space for the dogs to play and take such good care of them. I will be booking them again whenever I need someone to watch Cooper while we are gone.”

We received regular updates/pictures on Otis. Paul reached out with questions when the need arose. We would absolutely recommend Paul to watch over your furry kids when you are out of town. Thanks Paul!”

We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful family for her to stay!”
