What pet parents say

Leaving our beloved 11-year-old Shih Tzu, Dora, for almost a month while we traveled to India was one of the hardest decisions we had to make. Since this was our first time using a pet boarding service in the USA, we were extremely worried and spent a lot of time searching for the perfect place. Traveling to the other side of the world and dealing with the huge time difference only added to our concerns about whether Dora would be safe, comfortable, and happy.\n\nFrom the moment we met Marcene at Grandma's Dog House, we felt reassured. Marcene is truly a gem with the biggest heart and an incredible love for animals. She took such wonderful care of our baby girl and treated her like family. Dora has never been away from us for such a long period, but Marcene made her feel completely at home. Knowing that Dora was loved, cared for, and looked after so attentively gave us immense peace of mind throughout our trip.\n\nIt was clear that Marcene genuinely cared about Dora's happiness and well-being every single day. When we returned, we found a happy and healthy Dora, which meant the world to us.\n\nIf you're looking for a second home for your fur baby, I wholeheartedly recommend Grandma's Dog House. Thank you, Marcene, from the bottom of our hearts, for your kindness, love, and exceptional care. We will always be grateful for everything you did for Dora.\n\nAttached photo is the one clicked by Marcene and sent to us when we were in India 🫶 Our Dora baby ♥️

I have been allowing Marcene to care for my furry babies over a year now and I have nothing but good things to say. She is always available, flexible, fair and enjoys what she does. My pups are always happy and healthy when I pick them up. She also sends texts/picture updates during their stay and is great at communicating any concerns. I would highly recommend Grandma's Dog House if you're looking for a kennel free, laid back/home environment with loving supervision.

Let me preface this review by saying I’ve never boarded my dogs for the 7 years of owning them because I simply didn’t trust anyone enough. What if my dog gets sick, has an accident, or doesn’t get along with another dog- will they be punished or locked away for the entirety of my trip? I missed out on a lot of vacations. I initially met with Marcene for a meet and greet and I knew instantly her and her boyfriend Shaun were truly dog people. They watched my two small fearful dogs for two weeks and kept me updated daily which really helped me be able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dogs were on a vacation of their own. Marcene is able to adapt to your pup in any way to make sure they are comfortable during their stay. She even checks bedding daily to see if any laundry needs to be done. I’m so happy my dogs now have a home away from home so I can go out of state once in awhile. Thank you Marcene and Shaun!

AMAZING!! I would 100% recommend this place to anyone. It was my first time leaving my eight month old puppy so my doggy mom anxiety was through the roof. Marcene sent me photos and updates throughout his stay which helped put my anxiety at ease. I will definitely be using her services again.

Absolutely LOVE Marcene and her service!!! It was easy and efficient from day one! I highly recommend her. She’s very nice and professional and my dog loves seeing her and going over there. I currently use her service and will continue to do so. Definitely just do it if you’re looking and needing this for your dog.
