1. Nicholas S.
“Nick was great with my dogs. My friend who usually helps drop in to let my dogs out was also out of town at the same time so I was scrambling trying to figure out someone and Nick came recommended. The daily report cards with pictures for his drop ins were comforting and my one dog actually didn’t have a problem going to the bathroom for him which can be rare. He was running a few minutes late one day and texted me to let me know (which is great - I understand that if I we book for 11 it will probably have A slight difference In either direction) but it was nice he gave me a heads up just in case. Will definitely be using Nick again”
