“Yvette took care of our dog who normally gets very sad when we leave her and had a great stay with Yvette!! Yvette sent us plenty of pics and updates and videos during the 3 weeks she stayed with her and it was so nice to constantly be in touch. Our dog adjusted extremely quickly and I know all of her needs were met and then some. Yvette goes the extra mile to ensure great care and you can tell she really has the dog's best interest always in mind. I cannot recommend highly enough!!”

“Maureen and her family are naturals! They definitely had a way with dogs. Our puppy Kyoto immediately took to them and their lovely and spacious home. Maureen sent many updates and videos to show that Kyoto was being cared for and was happy in his new environment. Maureen even enabled him to socialize with another puppy successfully. I am so grateful to have found a safe and happy home away from home for Kyoto. Thank you, Maureen and family! Until next time!”

6. Liz & David L.
“Liz and Dave have a great layout for the dogs in and outside the house. They access the dogs well and understand different personalities. Daily pictures and videos helped put my anxiety at rest. Their bedding needed to be aired out big time when they got home as it was quite smelly as were they but those where easy fixes. Their health and happiness was my focus.”
