“Amelia and Grant were absolutely fantastic. My dog likes just about everyone, but I could tell that she LOVED her time with them. She was so content from the first second she walked in and was so relaxed when I picked her up. Their home is clean, calm and safe. 10/10.”


“Kennedy did an outstanding job boarding my recent rescue dog. Even though my dog had anxiety and timidness, Kennedy (and credit also to her dog, Wookiee) made my dog comfortable and more at ease during her stay. She communicates well and is very versatile in her approach to comforting her dog clients. Highly recommend.”
