Boarding • Oct 13, 2026

Maui had the BEST time staying with John! 🐾❤️ He was completely comfortable, felt right at home, and absolutely loved his sitter. John even told me Maui is always welcome back, which speaks volumes about the care and love he received. I also appreciated getting pictures every day, and I could see how happy and relaxed Maui was! Honestly, he looked like he was on vacation rather than staying at a kennel or doggy daycare. He came home happy, calm, and well cared for. Thank you so much, John, for giving Maui so much love and, most importantly, giving me peace of mind while I was away. We truly appreciate you, and we’ll definitely be booking with you again! 🐶💕

His residence was convenient to my home. Inside of home was very clean and I would feel comfortable with John caring for Roxie in the future.

John was fantastic! Pick-up and drop-off were super easy, and he was very trustworthy and communicative throughout the stay. He sent lots of updates and photos, and it was clear my dog was comfortable, happy, and completely at ease with him. His rates were very affordable, and for all those reasons I’ll definitely use John again!

This was the 2nd time John had watched our dog while we were away and would not hesitate to use his services again in the future. Thank you John!
