My dogs ALWAYS enjoy staying with John. My smaller couch potato dog loves his calm household with granddaughter visits. His large, fenced backyard and lots of outdoor time chasing the ball and squirrels accommodates my larger more energetic dog. I’m a repeat client and will definitely board with John again!

John was amazing. Hands down one of the best on this app. The daily updates with photos helped ease our minds while my wife and I were states away. We could tell that our dog had a great time with John and his family and we will definitely be going back to John the next time we need someone to watch our dog.

John took excellent care of my 2 dogs during an extended 30-day stay. His large fenced backyard was the perfect setup for my 40-lb dog Duke, and it was evident both dogs got lots of attention. John kept me informed with regular updates and pictures. I have already rebooked my dogs with John for their next stay! Highly recommend John!

John - what an amazing, big-hearted, caring individual. From the moment I met him, I knew my beloved Mia would be OK with him at his home. Unassuming, caring, gentle, John has a magic way with dogs. I thought Mia a little "traitor" when I saw her snuggled into John's lap while in his care for a week. I trust Mia, and her reactions, and for me, if she's happy, then we're both happy. I'll be using John as my primary and trusted partner in the future. Thank you so much John!

Our little dog seemed to do very well with John and we appreciated his little videos and pictures of her.
