I’ve written and rewritten this testimonial more times than I’d care to admit, but it’s hard to put into words how lucky I feel to have someone that I can trust with my dog. Dax, my dog, comes with baggage. He’s super weird, anxious, and has a bite history. Roughly eight years ago, after biting my neighbor and losing his confidence during the ten day shelter quarantine, Dax stayed with John and Nikki for a three week board and train program. John taught Dax how to trust people and be a confident member of our pack. After training, I tried several failed attempts of having Dax stay in my home with friends/family while I traveled. Two days into a relaxing beach vacation Dax busted out of his crate and destroyed my bedroom. John came to the rescue and picked him up and boarded him for the remainder of my trip. I could say the rest is history. Since that day, John is the ONLY person that I have ever trusted to board Dax. I can enjoy traveling knowing that my dog is happy and well cared Beyond being the people I trust to care for my dog, John and Nikki have become two people I call friends. I appreciate them more than words could possibly express.

My dog had a great time, they kept to her stricter allergy based diet. Any time I requested updates I received them with a picture. Great experience!
