John K is the ULTIMATE dog lover! We have known John for over 35 years and he has always owned a dog....sometimes 2! He has always put his dogs first regarding daily walks, keeping them groomed and comfortable...even providing top notch medical and dental care. Normally, their dog travelled with them...complete with stroller, cage, etc. However, on the rare occasions when it was not feasible, John made arrangements with the dog's original breeder at her home.....No kennels for John's companions! John recently lost his beloved "Spencer." The last few years, Spencer had developed tumors, loss of hearing, sight, and diabetes. Yet John tended to him as a Dr. would tend to his patient. His daily schedule revolved around Spencer's needs.....daily exercise, diet and insulin shots. I would, without reservation, trust John K to care for my dog. He'll love and attend to your "family member" just as you would....(although your dog might be a little spoiled when you return).
