This was our first time using a boarding service since moving to the US, and we were quite nervous because Moong can be a bit shy around strangers. However, Joaquin was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of her! We are so grateful for the amazing care and would highly recommend Joaquin to anyone!!

Melinna took great care of Scooby Doo, giving him his medications and taking him on plenty walks! I also love how last minute she was able to accommodate six thank you so much! I highly recommend her.

Becca was fantastic with our pup! She sent regular updates and was happy to do a meet-up before the sitting. We could tell our dog had a great time and was very well taken care of. We would definitely trust her with Wook again.

Arayana took excellent care of Millie. We got lots of pictures, which is just what we wanted! Arayana was also both attentive and communicative about any concerns she had about Millie s well being during her 6 night stay. Would highly recommend Arayana!
