Ratings and reviews
Me: Hey Tuukka...did you have the time of your life again while visiting Craig and Aaron? Tuukka: Of course, Mom. I wish you could a bunch of rabbits and put them in our yard like Craig and Aaron Did for me! If you loved me, you would. Me: *eyeball roll*
We always feel so comfortable leaving Blue in your care! You’re so wonderful with him and we really appreciate all the love and attention you give him. We know he’s always in great hands. 😊
Another 5 star stay with Craig! Craig keeps us fully updated throughout the stay, and it is VERY evident from the pictures just how at home our crazy girl is with him. We will not hesitate to book again.
Me: Hey Tuukka, what was the highlight of your stay this time? Tuukka: You been besides the baby possum, the black cat and my Houdini disappearing skills? Me: In other words, you had a 5 star stay again, right Tuukka? Tuukka: 6 star, Mom. 6 star.
Another wonderful stay for Ollie. We totally trust Craig for all of Ollie’s needs. No worries when we’re away and Ollie is there. We are booked for another stay this fall.
Maggie had a lovely stay with Craig & Aaron, as always! Love getting daily updates with a few pics throughout her stay.
