“My dog Saint loved his stay with Cynthia! She is super kind and professional. She took Saint and other dogs she was caring for to the dog park and provided a daily update. I was completely at peace knowing my dog was in Cynthia’s care. Thank you Cynthia!”


2. Alli M.


“Shwari always loves staying with Alli and her crazy crew! He's actually become so good with kids now- he always tolerated them fine, but after a few stays with Alli and her boys (who are high energy but respectful of and gentle with dogs) he is so much more relaxed around small people, and has started to seek them out!”
