I left Coco, my Border Collie, with Darryl for an extended stay. I can wholeheartedly say it was the best decision I made for Coco - daily exercise, freedom and stimulation that a city dog can never have. Darryl and his team are next level with updates. Absolutely outstanding when you travel.

Darryl has been amazing with my girl Sadie. She is a bit nervous, but he has been so patient and gentle with her - you can tell the love he has for Collies. I get a thorough report along with photos every session. Highly recommend.
