Our dog Monet has been attending Just dogs for nearly 7 years. She is so excited every time we arrive including when she attends daycare a few days after boarding. Carol and Brad and their staff genuinely care about each of the dogs and will notice if something seems wrong. Monet loves all of the human attention…
