Darren and his family took great care of Teddy! Darren made sure Ted took his allergy medicine, and we loved getting the pictures of the kids interacting with our pup! We would be happy to book with Darren again.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Darren! They took such great care of our dog and went above and beyond by sending us pictures every day. Those daily updates gave us so much peace of mind and comfort while we were away, knowing our fur baby was happy and well cared for. It’s clear they truly love animals and treat them like family. We are so grateful for their kindness, communication, and excellent care. We highly recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future! Thank you for making it easier to be away from our pup!

Excellent family to leave your dog. They not only took excellent care for Luna but they loved her all the time she was there. Luna was born deaf and at times can be a very nervous dog. Not only she relaxed the same day there but became friends with the other dogs in the house. I highly recommend Darren!

Darren and his family took GREAT care of my pup, Sassy, while I was away on vacation. They made sure that she had her cuddles and play time while also keeping her safe and comfortable! Many update pictures were sent showing her interacting and having so much fun! I will be booking Darren every time I need a puppy sitter! He’s worth the hour drive!

My puppy was so happy here and loved his stay. They were a wonderful family that was flexible and kept me updated constantly. It was a great experience all around for my boy and I am definitely rebooking with them in the future. HIGHLY recommend!
