David was great to work with and we felt very comfortable leaving our pup in his hands. He consistently communicated with us providing updates which gave us peace of mind that Bo was in good company & care.

David was so great. He took Bandido on last minute for an afternoon and evening. Went very smoothly. David was obviously comfortable with big dogs. I will definitely use David in the future.

David was very accommodating to my varied work schedule and took excellent care of Jax. Jax even made a new friend with David's dog, Penny.

Doggy Day Care • Oct 28, 2025

Incredibly accommodating, as Mayo was not. David worked around our ever changing and opaque interactions with Mayo. The care was so attentive I am not sure our pooch was ready to leave. We have never boarded our (abused) rescue dog and David’s care made this part of our Rochester experience absolutely calming and care free. If I could give seven stars I would and I am sure our dog would agree. Job well done. Thank You

David was very friendly, responded to questions and kept us updated throughout the day as to how our dog was doing. We would definitely use him again.
