2. Ivette G.
“Ivette was amazing. She accommodated me at the last minute which I get isn’t easy. She provided me updates and pictures. She made sure my concerns were addressed because I was very anxious boarding my dog. Simba was very well cared for, as well as Grace. I am definitely keeping Ivettes contact info next time I’m in town. ❤️”
3. Julie Jolie
“Words cannot not express how happy I am that I booked with Julie and her husband. They treated my dog like she was one of their own. So much so it seemed like Cheetah didn't want to leave them. They kept me updated every single day with texts and pictures even though I couldn't respond back to them from my cruise. This continued communication eased my mind and confirmed for me that I made the right choice in leaving my dog with them. I will most definitely choose Julie and her husband again and again to watch my dog.”
4. Patricia S.
“Our Bichon, Jeffrey loves his Aunt Patti! When we dropped him off, he made himself right at home without a look in our direction! He celebrated Thanksgiving with Pat and her family, again making himself at home sitting on the couch with her soon to be son-in-law watching the game! We didn't worry at all about Jeffrey. Pat kept us updated with pictures and adorable videos of his days there! We were able to enjoy a few days with my husband's family for Thanksgiving without a single worry. I know Jeffrey can't wait to see his new family again!”
5. Justin M.
“Justin was great with Mack! Kept us informed about how she was doing and what was going on. Although Mack struggled a little bit on the first night breaking her normal routine, she was able to bounce back and enjoy the rest of her stay!!”
6. Michael R.
“Micheal did such an amazing job with Kali and Maine. We had a weekend trip and needed someone to take them in for 3 days until we got back. We scheduled a day with him for a couple hours to ensure our dogs were good with him and they LOVED him! When they came home that day they were so tired from all the fun that they had! We left them for 3-4 days and when we came back they were so excited to see us and we were impressed with how well taken care of they were. Micheal responded very quickly to messages and sent pictures of the dogs and how they were doing!”

(I won't spoil it!) Thank you, Lisa!”
