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!

Barney had the best stay with Craig! He got plenty of walks and loves the window perch. We really appreciated the daily updates and pictures. We have recommended Craig to others and will definitely be back!

Craig spoiled Gus with swim time, belly rubs, and plenty of friends during his 11-day stay. He also kept me updated with photos every morning. It helped put my mind at ease for leaving my pup that long. In the end it just felt like my dog was at summer camp!
