Larissa was great! She communicated well and sent lots of pictures and updates letting us know our dogs were in amazing hands and happy throughout their stay. She went the extra mile and we will definitely book again!

Larissa was right on time, she sent lots of updates and my dog had a great time on his walk. Now he s tired and happy so I can continue to get work done knowing he got outside for a while.
