Pawsitively Outstanding Dog Boarding Service with Ewa! I recently had the pleasure of using Ewas dog boarding for my furry family member, and it was nothing short of a delightful experience. Ewa provided the personalized attention and care our dog received. The small-scale setting in her house allowed for a genuine connection between the caregiver and our pet, creating a homey environment that eased my dogs separation anxiety. The level of communication was outstanding. Ewa provided regular updates and even sent pictures of Olive’s daily activities. It was reassuring to see my doggy not only well-cared-for but also visibly happy and comfortable in her temporary home. Ewa’s home was perfect for Olive, it had the secure, fenced-in play area allowed my dog to enjoy outdoor time safely. It's clear that Ewa goes above and beyond to create a positive and loving environment for the dogs in her care. In summary, if you're seeking a private dog boarding service that provides personalized attention, open communication, and a true home away from home for your pet, look no further! Mine and Olive’s experience was fantastic, and we wholeheartedly recommend her services to fellow pet parents. Thank you Ewa❤️ Pat and Olive

I recently entrusted Maryana with the care of Betsy, while I was away, and I cannot express how pleased I am with the exceptional service she provided. Maryana's genuine love for dogs was evident from the moment we met, and it immediately put my mind at ease knowing that Betsy would be in good hands. Throughout Betsy's stay, Maryana went above and beyond to keep me informed and reassured about how things were going. Her regular messages detailing the day's activities and accompanied by adorable photos of Betsy helped me feel connected and confident that Betsy was having a fantastic time. Maryana's dedication to ensuring Betsy's well-being was truly commendable. It was evident that she personalized her care to meet Betsy's needs, from playtime to cuddles and everything in between. I have no doubt that I'll be choosing Maryana's services again in the future whenever I need to be away. Betsy seemed not only content but genuinely happy in Maryana's care, and I am confident that she formed a special bond with her. I can imagine Betsy being overjoyed at the prospect of returning to Maryana's care, making the decision for future dog sitting needs a no-brainer. If you're looking for a dog sitter who genuinely loves and cares, Maryana is the one to choose. Her passion, attention to detail, and excellent communication make her stand out, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Maryana, for providing Betsy with a home away from home!
