I have trusted Rocky for the past 2 years to care for my dog at his previous boarding facility. I have always felt that my dog was getting the best care. He paid attention to details of the dog's care and was very pleasant to everyone. I never was concerned about my dog's care. I recommend him for any pet related service.
Rocky would be a tremendous asset to your organization. He has cared for my dogs since 2015 on a regular basis at a wonderful kennel he and his partner owned and operated. As a pet owner, we always worry when we have to leave our pets in the care of someone else, but I never worried with Rocky. We had an elderly German Shepherd, and two puppies each of which stayed with Rocky from the time they were about 6 months old. He was accessible for text messages and emails when we started missing our "kids," and he would respond with pictures to assure us that everything was good. Anyone who hires Rocky to take care of a pet will get far more in service than they anticipate. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to you as someone who cares about animals and who knows how to take care of them with great patience and depth of experience.
I can't say enough about Rocky. He has gone out of his way on many occasions to care for our pets. A couple of examples would be that he came to our house to pick-up our 2 dogs and 1 cat when I was hospitalized after a car accident. Another was with our 15+ year old Lab-Mix. Rusty was getting on and arthritis was starting to get the better of him, so rather than making him walk on his last stays at the kennel Rocky improvised an 'Uber' service for Rusty with a wheel barrow. These are the kind of things which added a personal touch to everything he did for our pets and us. When it comes to pet care, Rocky is a 'Top Shelf' provider.
Rocky was a highly respected kennel owner for many years before recently retiring. There was no one else I would trust with my dogs. He knows dogs and is very passionate and responsible.

For now I prefer to go to the owners homes. May consider some small breeds to board at my home. I have an unfinished basement if I elect to board at home.
