Dog Boarding

I recently hired an outstanding dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with their services. Their communication was excellent, always keeping me informed, and they sent regular photo updates of my dog having a great time. What really stood out was their extensive experience with various dog breeds and their exceptional ability to tailor their care to meet each dog's individual needs. They paid close attention to my dog's preferences and routines, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. If you're looking for a dog sitter who combines great communication, experience with all types of dogs, and genuine care for your furry friend, I highly recommend them.

Juanita was such a wonderful dog sitter. She made herself available to us when we needed a dog sitter last minute, and set regular updates for the 4 days we were away. Having not used a dog sitter before, we were nervous about leaving our dogs with someone they hadn’t met. Juanita was amazing. She sent us updates of the dogs who had happily settled in before we had even got to the airport. Our dogs were sad to leave their new friend. And we are already planning when we can organise another ‘holiday at Juanita’s’ for them. Thank you again!
