John took great care of Zooey during her 10-day stay. You can tell he really loves dogs — Zooey was quite comfortable with him from the moment she met him. We will absolutely use him again.

John was great. We got pictures of our Jameson hanging out during his stay and he even went back to John when we were leaving as if to say goodbye. 🥰

John was great! Scruffy can be shy and very quickly John put him at ease and when we picked him up Scruffy had clearly made a new friend. Will definitely work with John again. Thank you!

Our dogs have stayed with John a few times now, and every time has been great! John is wonderful with the dogs. He ensures they get walks, one of our dogs requires medication multiple times a day and John always makes sure she gets her meds, and most of all, our dogs are clearly happy when they stay with him! One of our dogs, Dakota, she is very attached to us and doesn’t always get excited to stay at new or different places, but when she sees us pulling up to John’s house, she hops out of the car and runs to his front door. Highly recommend John!
