I had her come twice over the weekend to feed and play with them (and do some light litterbox cleaning) and she could not have been better! Each visit was $25 all in and she keeps you updated with texts and photos and even videos. It was really nice to see my cats in action while I was missing them and see how well taken care of they were. Dami even cleaned and washed their food bowls without being asked! She was super personable and a huge animal lover and I'll definitely be using her for future cat sitting visits :)

Do not board your animal here. This honest review is strictly based on a boarding experience I had…read morewith my 7 month old Doberman Mix who is the happiest, highest energy pup you can ever meet. I left Winston in their care from June 21st - June 28th when I went on a trip out of the country. On day one as I was boarding my flight, I got an email that Winston had injured his back paw and was bleeding while he was running around in the back yard. No one "saw" how it happened or seemed to know the cause (my best guess is he was unsupervised) so alarmed I sent my sister there to check on him and she said he seemed ok. They assured me they'd crate him so he could rest and give him solo play time so he wasn't so wound up (because he loves to play). So I checked in on him in the days that followed and they assured me he was recovering and doing just fine and didn't need to see a vet. When I finally picked him up on the 28th I brought home a different animal. Although he was initially happy to see me, in the car ride home he wouldn't let me pet him. He was traumatized, ears pinned back and low energy. He also had a runny nose and a cold? It was clear as day that whatever happened there affected him negatively and everyone in my family picked up on this behavior shift. He wasn't asking for hugs, kisses or playing. So beyond out of character for him. This lasted for 4 days until on the 4th day I noticed a raised and swollen lesion on his paw that was filled with pus, so I reached my breaking point and brought him to the vet. The vet said it was infected and put him on a topical and oral antibiotic for a week. Mind you this lesion was in a different location than the initial injury on day one. Both the vet and his assistant also observed emotional trauma and agreed that something unpleasant happened at his stay. Then a day later I noticed another lesion on the side of his mouth, also pus filled. I don't know if these were bite marks from other animals or what? I emailed them and asked what happened and they assured me that "nothing happened" and he was just "playing with the other animals". In my email correspondence with their manager they also assured me that Winston was happy and playing with other dogs, but the day I picked him up the person working the front desk said they had issues with Winston being bullied by the other dogs. Two clashing stories - which one is it? There are other reviews here that cite this place as condescending and I have to echo that sentiment. When there are obvious glaring issues and you insist that "nothing happened and he was just playing" and brush it off like you're not accountable it's frustrating. They offered to reimburse me for the vet bill but after thinking about the right thing to do in the larger picture, I'd rather spare a future dog owner of the distress of bringing home an injured and traumatized animal that they then have to seek medical attention for. This just isn't right and they aren't running a safe and careful facility and either people need to know this and avoid leaving their animals there or the management needs to take command and ownership and level up their safety protocols, care practices, and cleanliness to avoid infections. I'd also suggest better staff training and a selective hiring process because there are way to many gaps and leaks in the whole story here. Enough to file a formal and legal complaint.
