My pup spent really good time with Vince. And I received many photos of Rigel playing outside and notes of their activities. Definitely recommend to everyone!

Vince took great care of Rio while we were away. We appreciated Vince’s diligent updates and flexibility in caring for and walking Rio.

Vince was excellent with our sweet Dory. He came by to meet her the day before her walk, and continued to work on the training we have been teaching her. Cannot wait to have him back again!

Vince is fantastic! My shy girl, Harper, enjoyed her walks very much. The notes, updates and photo Vince sent were just wonderful. Vince was very patient with Harper and her shy ways. Would definitely re-book Vince again. Thank you so much!!
