“Todd and Bill are great; they set up a meet & greet and made sure my pup got along with their dogs. I already had a stay booked for a few days later this month, but needed doggy daycare for a day while I went up to Disneyland. They were flexible in the pickup/dropoff times, I got updates, pictures, and a video of Holly throughout the day, and I couldn't be happier. Holly has been home for hours and hasn't moved a muscle- she's totally pooped from playing all day. Will be booking with them again many times!”
