Great experience! Jody was able to take Jack on very short notice, which I really appreciated. Jack was well cared for and came home happy and comfortable. I’m grateful they were able to accommodate us last minute and take such good care of him. Communication was brief and to the point, but everything went smoothly and I would be happy to have Jody care for Jack again.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 14, 2026

Chauncy came home more obedient, less bitey, and even quieter. I don't know what Jody did but the puppy changed in a short time. Jody was willing to sit withChauncy at thelast minute when I was going through a personal and health crisis at the same time. I believe whe is a God sent person for me and Chauncy. I highly recommend her. Not only all of the above, but she picked up on Chauncy's character - - like she told me Chauncy plays good with children and other dogs. That gave me peace of mind. I'm so grateful to her and I will call on her again as often as she will let me.

Jody was so gracious to watch my anxious shiba on short notice. I appreciated the updates during the stay and picked up a happy and healthy boy. Will book again!
