Cj’s is the best. Our 3 dogs jump out of the car when we get there & get so excited when they realize where we are going. It’s such a peace of mind knowing our furbabies are so well loved & taken care of when we are out of town. Thank you to the whole staff who always go above and beyond for our babies.

Reasonably priced and drop off/pick up service is great!

Our dog Olive has been going to CJ Staycation for a full year now, and I can honestly say it has been nothing short of amazing. From the very first visit, Christy and her incredible staff made Olive feel loved, safe, and right at home.
Christy’s dedication to what she does shines through in every interaction. She isn’t just running a business—she’s creating a space filled with care, joy, and genuine affection for the dogs (and their humans!) who come through her doors. Every drop-off is met with happy greetings, tail wags, and the peace of mind that Olive will be well cared for. Every pick-up comes with stories of her day, her new doggie friends, and her adventures—leaving us with happy hearts.
The staff’s attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism are unmatched. They treat Olive like she’s part of their family, which means the world to ours. It’s rare to find a place that blends top-notch service with such personal warmth, but Christy has created exactly that.
Thank you, Christy, for bringing so much joy to Olive’s life and ours. We are beyond grateful for you and your wonderful team—you’ve truly made CJ Staycation a second home for our girl.

We have two big dogs who do wonderfully at CJ’s. They send us pictures of the two, daily while they are staying there and they are well cared for. Reasonably priced and someone is there overnight with the boarders

We love CJs Pet Staycation. Cristy and her crew are wonderful! Our dog, Charlie, is very well taken care of. We never worry about him when we are traveling. We love their updates and the pictures they send every few days showing Charlie relaxing or socializing with other dogs. Only the very best is good enough for us, and Charlie, and CJs Pet Staycation is the absolute best!! We have been customers for 5 years and we highly recommend their services!!
