I was nervous to have my dog in daycare and away from home since it was the first time doing so, but Jared did a great job with Brownie and his high energy. He has a nice sized backyard for the dogs to roam and they all got along.

Jarrad was great with our Dutch Shepherd, Apache. I’m always a little apprehensive to leave my high drive dog with someone, but he has great experience, knowledge, and patience with the higher drive pooches. I’m happy to have stumbled across Jarrad and will definitely be using him going forward!
