“Another great boarding experience with Melissa and Omar. Received lots of pics/videos of Milo enjoying outdoor and indoor time with some new friends. They truly care about each of the dogs that they take. Feel fortunate to have found them.”
5. Kathleen & Michael B.
“I can’t thank Kathleen and Michael enough for accommodating our fur baby Remie on short notice. They took great care of him when we couldn’t take him camping with us due to the extreme heat. They sent us daily updates and pictures of him relaxing in AC and when it finally cooled down hiking with their dog Lobster. He seemed to have a great time and came home happy as could be! We definitely recommend them!”
