Juliet was the perfect answer to my absence in Bella's day to day. At the time of drop off, spending a bit of time observing Bella's interactions with Juliet and her family, the constant smile on Bella's face gave me to assurance and security leaving my Emotional Support Animal with them while I had to work. Juliet provided regular video, and photo updates, and also updated how much her and her family were enjoying my baby. I have tried trading boarding, but never seen the smiles on Bella's face that I did with Juliet. I was so happy with the perfect connection tion, that I booked a second service, adjacent to this one, so Juliet could continue boarding Bella while I worked. I would HIGHLY recommend Juliet and her family to anyone looking for a very loving, happy environment for their boarding needs.

Juliet was sweet, caring, and very attentive with Bart. She provided great updates and photos, and was so flexible when I needed a last-minute extension. Bart clearly had a great time and absolutely loves her. I look forward to booking Juliet again for my future travels!

I can t recommend her enough! She was incredibly responsive, provided frequent updates, and made the whole experience completely stress-free. I always knew my Lotti was in the best hands. It means so much to trust someone with your dog, and she exceeded all expectations. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my girl!
