This was the first time we had left our 3 year husky and our 17 month old husky with anyone. I was nervous. John set my mind at ease. He is very knowledgeable on caring for animals. I appreciated the fact he sent us videos, pictures and updates and responded to all my texts in a timely manner. We will be using him again and we highly recommend him.

John was great communicating through out Tater's entire stay sending pictures and updates. Tater had a great time and made new friends and I would definitely let tater stay with John again.

Pets

A typical day

We let the dogs out almost hourly, and we have a doggie door going to our half acre fenced in backyard if they need more. We feed them separately and they sleep in our house. We place Apple tile trackers on the dogs collars as soon as they arrive just in case they should slip out the door which has never happened by the way.

When you come, just please bring their bed or blanket, their food, supplements, medicines, no bowls are needed as we have plenty, toys if you desire, and of course your wonderful, beautiful Furbabies. If your dog likes to be in a crate at night, no need to bring one since we have 2.
