“Dave and his wife Cindy have been wonderful to our dog Georgia. He responds really quickly and provided a lot of attention my high separation anxiety dog. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to have someone who can care for their pets with love and attention. I cannot thank him enough”
“This was our first use of Rover and we could not be happier. It was an extended stay 9 nights and 10 days. We received pictures and updates everyday. Their home is open and comfortable and gave our dogs the same setting they were used to at home, which made us feel reassured they would be ok. Cortnie & Willey made us feel 100% comfortable leaving our two fur babies with them for this amount of time. We look forward to using them again! We would highly recommend Cortnie & Willey.”
