Hi Georjene! Reviews like yours always brighten up our days. We all know how nerve-racking it can be to leave our furbabies under the care of someone else, let alone boarding! So we are grateful for the trust you put in us. We do have an amazing team that work hard to create a fun, safe, and clean environment for the pets that visit us. Thank you for the 4-star review and we look forward to seeing you guys again soon!

Response from business owner

Nancy, we want to apologize about your dog's missing extra food you left for her. Our back staff is constantly feeding dogs their own food that's left labeled on a pantry or in a fridge, so we are sure it was just misplaced. We will make an effort to locate that extra food and call you when we find it, or we will compensate you for it. If our furry guests run out of food, we feed them NutriSourse at no extra cost, which has probiotics, prebiotics and proprietary minerals to heal the gut and prevent issues that arise from rotational feeding. Besides that, we are happy to read our services were able to provide your pup with a fun, safe, and clean space. Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We hope to see you again!
