We would like to send a “Double Thumbs Up” to Jovonnie Androy the owner of Stay and Play Pet Resort where our dog Buddy has spent the last six weeks. On Sunday, Buddy came home to a warm welcome. Joey, Matt, and Amanda were very excited to see him. It was a very big relief to know that Buddy was in a wonderful place while we were adjusting to our new living style. It was the first time since we were married that we didn’t have a faithful companion staying with us at the house. It’s really nice to have him home.

I can't thank the staff of Stay and Play enough for being there for me and Kandiland Goodwill Hunting, aka Harvard, on the occasion of my aunt's funeral.  I always know that Harvard gets the finest care and attention at Stay and Play but all previous stays have been planned for in advance.  Getting the phone call late in the day and knowing we had to leave the next morning left me with a little apprehension about Harvard.  But, of course, the Stay and Play team was right there for me.  But most appreciatively, upon my return I found that Harvard's stay was gratis.  This incredible act of kindness touched me very much and I am grateful to Stay and Play for their great compassion.

Dear Jovonnie,

I had hoped to see you when I picked up Maggie last night so that I could tell you how much Peggy and I appreciated your generous decision to board the Princess without cost while we attended our daughter-in-law’s mother’s funeral in California.  The services were as pleasant and comforting as those things can be.  The whole experience was more positive for us because we knew our girl would be as happy and well cared for as she always is at Stay and Play.

Thank you,

Mike Murray, River Wilderness, July 2008
