1. Bennie & Jennie D.


“Bennie and Jennie always let me know how my best friend is doing! They are wonderful with my cat and I take comfort in knowing that my pet is with them while I'm away!”


2. Patricia D.


“Patricia was SO GREAT with my dogs! I've never left my dogs with anyone outside of my family, and was very nervous about doing so. Patricia made the entire experience so much LESS stressful! She takes watching your dogs very seriously, is incredibly experienced with all types of dogs, and truly cares about your dogs' well being. She understands dog behaviors and provides care beyond what I expected, and beyond what you'd be able to find if you boarded with a boarding company or vet. My babes got multiple walks per day, play time, lots of love, and she even setup a "den" area for them when they were stressed (then sat on the floor with them in there!). She had even made super healthy dog food for another client when we were there (with client permission, of course)! Very impressed, very pleased, and will absolutely have my pups stay with Patricia again. Thank you, Patricia!!!”

“This is the second time I booked with Vi to board my dog Chelsea and I can’t be more happy! You can see all the love and care she has for dogs, she treated my baby like if she was her own.

9. Maria A.

“I'm very glad to have left my dog to Meria when our family went on a trip. Meria is so nice and kindly. She treated our dog as her own. When our dog's old injury recurred and it started bleeding, Meria immediately went to buy first aid kit to stop the bleeding. She really loves animals and took good care of it. I'm very grateful and will come back again.”
