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!

John helped me a lot since I had to find a last minute booking for a broader collie. He’s experienced with dogs and very friendly.
