  • Lucky took care of our two pups while we were on an extended trip in Europe! Not once did we worry whether they were in good hands. As always, we highly recommend Lucky!

  • We are forever grateful to have found Lucky and Matt! I always get so nervous when we leave on long trips, and well....NO MORE! Our energetic and friendly golden, Murphy, LOVED his time with them and made so many new dog buddies! They have a huge yard and warm and loving home and always sent many photos and updates each day. It made me so happy to see him having fun! We can’t wait for his next visit!

  • Lucky was amazing with my pups! She was very welcoming and communicative the entire time we were apart. My babies were calm and relaxed upon drop off and pick up. A definite rebook.
