Craig did an amazing job watching our dog Bitsy. He shared lots of pics and filled us in daily on their walks and activities. Would highly recommend him.

Craig was great with my dog. I had to leave him for a week and Craig was very good with him taking him for walks and sending me pictures everyday. He is easy going and I will leave my pup with him if the need arrives anytime.

Another great stay for Barney with Craig while we were away last weekend! We never have to worry about leaving him because we know he’s getting exceptional care. Craig makes sure Barney gets plenty of walks, outdoor time in his fenced yard, and sends daily updates with photos, which we always appreciate. One of Barney’s favorite things is watching the squirrels from the window perch Craig has set up for his canine guests. It’s clear he’s comfortable, happy, and well cared for every time he stays. We highly recommend Craig to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
