Thank you Jeff for taking such great care of Luna! She had a wonderful stay and came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We know she received plenty of attention, affection, and special care throughout her stay. Luna bonded with Jeff right away, he was patient, attentive, and experienced, especially with large dogs, like Luna, who need extra attention and handling. We felt confident knowing Luna was in such capable hands. We would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for someone who truly cares for big dogs with lots of energy and attention needs.

Our Golden Retriever couldn't stop talking about her stay with Jeff. Will definitely rebook.

Jeff was a wonderful host to our senior dog! Our dog needs to be let out more frequently and has supplements, and we felt very comfortable with Jeff taking care of our dog. Our dog was very happy and we would definitely have Jeff watch our dog again!

We have used Jeff twice now. He was very quick to communicate back whenever I had a question and was very sweet with our skittish dog. Jeff is home often, which made our older doggie feel safe. The second time we used Jeff and were dropping him off, our dog ran right into his house: so excited!! It was a blessing knowing Jeff was taking care of our dog so that we could enjoy our trips.
