Highly recommend! I have had my dogs for six years and never boarded them until I heard about Katelyn and her boarding facility. I felt very safe leaving both of my dogs who have high anxiety and are escape artists. They were both very relaxed and comfortable! I am so grateful I found such a wonderful place for them to board! Bailey and Abby will be back when mom is able to take another vacation! Thanks so much
