Dennis and his wife took great care of Copper. They kept me posted with updates and pictures. I would recommend him to anyone and I will definitely use his service in the future.

Dennis and his wife took the best care of our 12 year-old pup so well I think she was depressed to leave them. Dennis was so good about sending updates or asking questions. He made us feel very comfortable that we made the right choice and hope to use them again in the future. Definitely, consider Dennis for your dog care.

Dennis came by to take care of our dog when we were out for a day. He was great! Very responsive, great communication and pictures of their walk. Highly recommend Dennis and would use him again.
