“Chris is completely prepared and equipped to take great care of any dog. Left my Vinny for daycare with Chris. He was attentive to his introduction to the other dogs, fed, and well cuddled. I feel perfectly comfortable leaving my little guy with Chris, and will definitely call him again when we are in town.”

“Today was the first day of our weekly daycare. Tripp had so much fun and he absolutely loved it there. I was updated frequently with lots of messages, and pictures. Which was greatly appreciated as I was very anxious with this being the first time leaving Tripp with anyone but family. He has such a good time. I can’t wait to continue daycare :)”

6. Betty G.


“We brought our two Papillons to Betty yesterday for a day of companionship and exercise. They tend to be fearful of dogs and people, so we were a little concerned about leaving our babies! Betty introduced herself and her 4 little dogs to our boys and everyone was fine! They had a wonderful day and slept like logs all night. I highly recommend Betty and will return in the future when we are back in Elkhart.”
