Dog Boarding
Astros, 13-04-2023
Our male havanese stayed with Kavita and her two small dogs for a few days. We were super impressed by the service we received. We got many updates with pictures of our dog and the communication was perfect. Kavita was very welcoming and took great care of our dog. We would definitely bring our dog there again and recommend her to anyone looking for dog boarding that feels like a home away from home.

Roshni and her husband are truly dog-lovers at heart. From the moment we dropped off our fur baby, we felt an overwhelming sense of trust and comfort. Their home radiates warmth and is an absolute dog paradise. Whether it's the daily walks, the play sessions in the garden, or the cozy nap times, our pup was never short of love and attention. Their constant photo and video updates were the cherry on top, allowing us to witness firsthand the joy our dog was experiencing. Roshni's commitment to never leaving the dogs alone showcases her genuine care and dedication. Having our dog stay with them feels like a vacation for him too! We wholeheartedly recommend them and are beyond grateful for the love and care they shower on our dog.
