“Ming was absolutely awesome, his quick solutions to my problems while I was over sea's is highly commendable, I will definitely be using him moving forward in any and all my business trips”
“Kaylee spent time with Copper when I dropped him off to make sure he was comfortable. He only spent the night and he had a kennel between two others. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall to see how he responded to being in the kennel between the two other occupied kennels. He was very happy to see me the next day as I was him! Kaylee was very friendly!”

“Maxwell took great care of our dog! He sent plenty of pictures and spent time outdoors with him which we loved. Our dog came home happy and exhausted after a full weekend. Maxwell was also super flexible with us when we had to pick our dog up a little late. We would highly recommend!”
“Deb took such wonderful care of our puppy! She was only 13 weeks when we had to leave her for 2 nights, and she went above and beyond helping her adjust! She listens and cares how we are training her, does the same things, tries some of her own stuff, and just loves on Luna. I couldn't ask for a more caring sitter and Luna will be back. She got undivided attention, and training..I couldn't ask for a better place for her. She sent videos and photos the whole stay! And responded whenever I checked in with her. Thank you for loving Luna.”

Our dogs are high energy and can be a lot to handle but they felt right at home from the start. We received photos and updates everyday that made us feel like they were in extra good hands. Thank you so much ♥️”
