It was so nice to leave my dogs with someone that I was super confident would take great care of them - and Emily sure did. When she left them it was like they wanted to go back with her! Would absolutely leave them with her and her family again.

Emily was amazing! My dog Bear stayed with her for 3 nights. He has separation anxiety. She gave him extra care and love. He was able to have a great time and relax. I can tell he was very well taken care of by his behavior when I picked him up. He's very happy. Plus, Emily went out of her way to make pickup much easier. I definitely recommend her.
