We can t thank Raquel and her family enough for taking care of Pixi! She sent plenty of updates and made sure she was well loved! Also very organized and had a packing list and printed report card at the end of her stay!

Annie was super amazing. I like photos and I received them daily. Sky and Shadow had a blast. I would highly recommend Annie she loves them like her own. We will be utilizing her superb services again in July.

Deana was amazing with our anxious boy. It was clear from the videos and photos that he really enjoyed his stay with her. Not only was she professional and responsive, but she was also super nice! Chase will be returning!

My dog Bowie stayed with Avyon for 5 days and had the absolute best time! She and her dogs are so friendly and welcoming he felt at home right away. She took him to the park every day to play fetch and run around making friends, so he got great exercise and socialization on his vacation! She sent lots of updates with photos and videos every day so I got to see all the fun he was up to. She even dropped him off at the end of the stay which was super helpful. I think he misses her and her dogs already! I ll definitely be using her again in the future!

Brandy is so sweet with our fur baby. This is our second time boarding with her. She gives great updates and is very easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend!

Deana was an amazing dog sitter. At no point was I worried about my boy. She kept up with photos and communication and reassured me he was in good spirits while I had to be away. I can tell he was enjoying himself because he was smiling in the photos. My boy was clean and all of his things were kept tidy and returned at the end of the visit and that is always appreciated. Thank you so much Deana! If I ever have to get called away again, I hope you re available to love on him again.
