“Thao was absolutely the right choice for us and Ginny! We have now found the person we will always use in the future. Thao is loving and caring with all the dogs she watches!”
“We definitely recommend Diane! She is warm, inviting and sensitive to our dog's needs. She kept in touch with us to let us know that all was going well. It is obvious that she cares for dogs a great deal!”
“Sandra & Sorin and family were amazing. They did everything possible to help my little Mini Schnauzer feel comfortable and part of the family. Pepper was confused when we dropped her off, but they gave her lots of comfort. Pepper was glad to see us, but not desperate like she has been at boarding kennels. We look forward to having Sandra & Sorin take care of her again in their safe, loving home. I highly recommend Sandra & Sorin for excellent, caring dog boarding and daycare.”
