Jared G. cancelled a booking after the stay began.

My baby has separation anxiety. But not once did i hear from jared that he was crying only because he kept simba close to him always. I am more than happy with the way he was taken care of.He came back to me calm and happy.they did such an amazing job in taking care of simba.

Took good care of my puppy and sent me pictures daily. I was happy they offered pickup and dropoff for a modest additional fee.

Jared and Stacy took really great care of my doggo and I’m very grateful for the updates . I’m always a worrier when it comes to leaving my dog because he can have some quirks but he seemed happy and I felt confident while he was with them .

Jared was really great, and I’ll definitely contact him next time I need a dog sitter. My boy has some special needs, and Jared handled everything extremely well. Messages made it seem like both were having a nice time too, which make me feel really comfortable and at ease since this was my boy’s first time away from home since I adopted him.

Jared and his wife seemed really nice in person. The dogs warmed up to Jared quickly during the meet and greet. We boarded our dogs with them for a full week and we ultimately chose Jared because of his good reviews but I was a bit skeptical after the meet and greet. There were red flags right away but we were in a pinch and needed help quickly. 1. This was the first sitter that would not allow me to see the home my dogs would be staying in. We did a meet and greet outside but when asked to see where they would be staying I was told no and told his wife was working from home. 2. If communication is important, this isn’t the sitter for you. We scheduled and confirmed a meet and greet for a Sunday at a specific time and when I messaged that I’ll be there in 15 minutes, I received no response. Then when I arrived, I messaged and called several times with no response and sat outside for more than 15-20 minutes. He did apologize saying he had the app silenced. 3. He seems to be unorganized. They told me not to bring toys because they get lost. When I picked them up, he only gave me 2 of the 3 bowls and then had to go back in and find the 3rd. He came out with 2 small bowls for cats which weren’t mine and then had to go back in again to find the right bowl. Also, the dog bed inside of the crate we provided was soaked when I picked the dogs up and smelled terrible so it was thrown away. 4. He did send a photo of each dog to me once a day but that was it. Nothing about their behavior or really any information unless I asked about it. 5. Both dogs smelled dirty and had to get immediate baths when they got home. The harnesses and leashes also needed to be cleaned thoroughly. Not sure what the odor was but it just smelled dirty. Overall, it wasn’t the best experience but at the end of the day, the dogs seemed to be happy and taken care of. No issues with feeding or medications which was really important. It would have been nice to see the home they were staying in and have better communication. Jared may be a great option for a dog walked given how quickly the dogs warmed up to him but I wouldn’t recommend using him for extended periods of time for boarding. I wasn’t able to feel comfortable and confident during my vacation.
