This is our second time leaving our sweet, Ruby girl with Rusty. We appreciate his flexibility and communication with us through our vacation and all the updates on how she was doing.

Rusty was great with our Lab! He sent updates and pictures throughout her stay and was always responsive when I checked in. She came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend him to others and would book with him again!

First time my furbaby, Powder was away from me for an extended period of tome. Rusty was super, he calmed my concerns by helping set up a meet and greet. Messged me often with updates and photos. My baby really enjoyed the large fenced in yard.

Rusty was incredible. I was amazed at the questions he asked when we had our ‘meet and greet’ before we dropped off our pups. He treated our elder dog with the respect she deserved and our younger standard poodle loved him. They both had smiles on their faces every time he sent pictures and had a blast. I would definitely recommend Rusty!
