3. Joshua H.
“As first-time dog parents, the thought of leaving our adolescent puppy was anxiety-inducing, to say the absolute least. After several long, full daycare sessions with Josh, this process has become seamless, reassuring, and immensely positive for not only my partner and I, but most importantly, for our dog, Nato. We wholeheartedly appreciate the person Josh is, which is so clear in his care of Nato…and his (Nato’s) exuberant eagerness to always go back!”
