“Laura and her family took great care of my 3 yo beagle mix. He’s got an autoimmune disorder with extreme food sensitivity and takes meds 3x daily. They were attentive to his needs, sent photos everyday, were super responsive and patient, and allowed me to show them how to administer the medicine. Both of us felt right at home, lol! We’ll be back thank you so much!!”

6. Pam J.
““Ricky” is a 5 year old havanese who is active and needs a lot of attention. He’s been having some separation anxiety of late and Pam was great with him and very kind and understanding, After a meet and greet when he was a bit clingy, I scheduled an overnight. As we approached the house, Ricky started excitedly barking and wagging his tail and happily jumped up to greet Pam. That says it all for me!”

“I am so fortunate and grateful to have picked Marilyn to watch over our dog Peanut. When Peanut became sick, Marilyn took extraordinary steps to help her that I could never have expected. She was super supportive and communicative, sharing photos and updates every day! Peanut is recovering very well thanks to Marilyn's excellent care. Marilyn is the best boarder we have worked with and I would love for Peanut to stay with her again. Your dog will be safe and wonderfully cared for in her hands. 5 stars and A+ experience! Thank you so much Marilyn!”
