Happy Stays is a highly-regarded home-based boarding service specializing in small and senior dogs, characterized by exceptional communication and personalized care. Owners consistently praise Helen for her frequent photo updates and her ability to handle dogs with anxiety, medical needs, or 'quirks.' While one reviewer raised a question regarding property rules, the overwhelming consensus is that the facility provides a safe, loving, and 'family-like' atmosphere.
