1. Bennie & Jennie D.
“We just boarded our Bengal cat with Bennie and Jennie for the 3rd time and they always take such great care of her! Their cats Kuma, Koya, and Kevin are the sweetest and so friendly to our super sassy girl. We love all the photos and videos they send us while we’re on vacation and love that we can relax when we’re away because we know she’s in great hands. Thank you Bennie & Jennie!!”

“This was our first experience with Rover so my anxiety was through the roof. However, Baining was absolutely the BEST first experience. She gave frequent updates and pictures and even gave us a small dog training tip! She was extremely responsive and our pup looked so happy in every picture she sent. We will definitely be booking with Baining again if we can!!”

9. Tina L.
“Tina took excellent care of our two Frenchie puppies. This was our first timing leaving them both for a longer away, but they both clearly loved their 5 night stay and Tina and her family. Tina updated us multiple times daily on their activities and care. One of our puppies needed 2 medications and special care and Tina did it all and kept us informed on his progress. Both puppies loved Tina’s girls. She really did trest them like part of her family, we are so grateful. Thanks Tina!”
