I have a tiny 7lb dog named Poppy that Jessica introduced to all the other daycare dogs (big and small) with ease right in front of me. It made me feel so comfortable. She sent me pics and videos of Poppy throughout the day as she was rotating between playing, napping and basking in the sun. I would definitely recommend Jessica. In fact, I’ve already scheduled my next daycare drop off for next week!

Stewart responded to our request the evening before we had a golf scramble and needed someone to watch our 90 lb Bernedoodle. His little Sofie kept Reuben occupied and we felt comfortable knowing Stewart had a fenced in backyard for him to exercise.

Jodeci was very communicative and sent lots of photos my pup while I was working long hours.
