We used Ray twice now and he was excellent in communicating and being flexible with our travel plans. Our dogs really enjoyed their visit too!

My elderly dog was treated extra special with her own chair right next to Ray while he was working! I know she liked her week with Ray as she didn't act like we left her at doggie prison, like other trips when we returned. Will definitely use him again!

Ray and his wife took wonderful care of my pups and sent me daily updates! He was very responsive and flexible with our travel plans. I highly recommend Ray to watch your hound(s)- we plan on using him again for our next vacation!

Ray was absolutely awesome. He cared for our pups like they were his own. We came home from a weekend out of town and they were happy as could be!
