My dog loves this place. All of the employees are amazing and so passionate about animals. 10/10.
After years of boarding our pets at many different places—some of the most expensive in the area—I can honestly say nothing compares to the care we receive from Maria and Dave. We've been bringing our pets to them for years, and we’ve never had a single issue—no bites, no illnesses, nothing. We just returned from a two-week trip to Greece, and once again, our babies were happy, healthy, and well cared for. I’ll admit, their facility might not look like a high-end pet resort or some bougie place, but let me tell you: I’m the pickiest pet mom on the planet, and I choose to drive out of my way every time to bring my pets here. Maria is one of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve ever met. Not only does she take excellent care of our animals, but she also sends us daily videos and pictures—every single day and night while we're away—just to give us peace of mind. Most other places don’t offer that kind of communication, and if they do, it usually costs extra. It’s been years now, and our experience has been nothing but wonderful. We live in Wesley Chapel, and with how expensive pet boarding has become, finding a place that is affordable and truly caring is rare. That’s why I continue to drive the extra distance—it’s worth every mile. The front staff always greets us with a smile, and even our bird Sunny—who normally only trusts me—has grown to love everyone there. I can’t recommend Maria and Dave enough. They treat our pets like family, and that means the world to us.
We take our dachshunds Finn there whenever we travel or need time to ourselves and there’s service is excellent in how they love and care for the dogs.
