Omg Ms. Kathy is the absolute best! Our dogs were at home away from home! She sent pictures and videos on their stay!! We used to drive all the way to Orange County because that was the only one that we trusted, but we now found someone close by because we live in Murrieta. I am so thankful that I was able to find her on this app. Her backyard is set up in such a great way where dogs truly can feel like they’re home away from home.

They have really fixed this park up from when I used to come here as a kid. It was infested with Bums so much so we called it Bum park. But not anymore it looks great and has a really good basketball court. 5starz ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
