“Our family was very lucky to come across Kellie. See was super open and easy to communicate with. She took everything we said on how to handle our pups and treated them like her own. From the moments of first meeting all the way up to picking the pups up we felt comfortable. Kellie provided daily updates with pictures and videos. I would not hesitate to book with Kellie in the future. I’m fact I will always book with her if there is an opening.”

9. Jennifer L.

“Dexter LOVED his stay with Jennifer, Ken, and Kaiya! This was my first time leaving him with a sitter for multiple nights, and I was a bit nervous to say the least. However, Jennifer made sure to send me small updates throughout the day with loads of pictures and videos of his adventures. It certainly made my time away less stressful knowing I left Dexter in good hands. From the very start Jennifer was responsive and helpful, letting me know what I should pack for him and even agreeing to meet up with us before his stay so Kaiya and Dexter could mingle! I will definitely contact Jennifer again should Dexter need a place to stay and also highly recommend her and her little family to others in need of reliable doggy care!”

We’ll definitely leave Mickey with Shu again!!”
