Would repeat with Anastasiia in a heartbeat!!! When I picked up my pup, he looked healthy, happy, and refreshed. Thank you Anastasiia!

Anastasiia was fantastic. We had a last minute boarding request and she responded promptly and was able to take care of our girl Sunny. She provided updates throughout her stay, photos/vids, and let us know how she was doing. She was flexible with pickup and drop off and was a pleasure to work with. High recommend

This was our 2nd time booking Anastasiia to watch our girl Sunny. Another excellent experience. She was so loving and caring with Sunny, really made her feel loved and safe. She was excellent with her communication and updates. Sunny tweaked her leg chasing a squirrel and she let us know right away (Sunny was fine and good to go shortly after). She spent so much time playing and walking Sunny giving her the good life while we were gone. High recommended and we will continue to book with her in the future.

Anastasia took excellent care of our girl Sunny. She provided photos and texted us updates which were greatly appreciated. She was flexible with timing and did everything that we had asked her to do. We would definitely book her in the future!

Anastasiia paid special attention to our puppy! She needed extra attention toward the end of her time and Anastasiia was great!
Michele H.
GREAT! Is the only word I can say. It was the first time bounding him since I rescued him. So I was a Nervous Nelly but I had no need to be. I was sent lots of pictures and updates. Clearly Parker was having a great time. I will absolutely use her again.

Ashley was great. Sent multiple pictures and messages. My guy was in good hands.

Deidre was great at keeping us updated with our Kiwi. When we got her back home, she was very tired and seemed to have lots of fun playtime with her. Would definitely book again!
