Daisy, nearly 12 year old rescue pup, spent nearly 5 weeks with Craig. She came back to me happy and healthy. Craig is a terrific dog sitter who sends regular updates and pictures and, most importantly, takes wonderful loving care of Daisy

Craig has taken care of my pup several times. He is an excellent communicator and gentle and loving with Daisy. I highly recommend him.

I have used Craig several times for short and long stays. My 11 year old pup receives excellent loving care. I cannot recommend Craig more highly. He is a gem.

Daisy, 11 year old sweet rescue, has stayed with Craig now a few times and she is happy and content with him. He is terrific with her and seems to enjoy her as much as she enjoys him.
