Cal and Kelly were amazing! They were constantly sending videos and photos which were much appreciated, especially for a first time rover user like me. They have 3 amazing, sweet and welcoming dogs of their own and that is truly a testiment to how much of a warm and welcoming home they have. I know my boys has a great time because they came back home so relaxed. Thanks again! Can’t wait to book with you guys again when I’m in the area!
