Happy Clients

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch Bentley! He treated him like one of his own, keeping me updated with photos and messages so I knew he was happy and well cared for. Bentley came home his usual happy, snuggly self and maybe even a little spoiled from all the love and attention. I could tell he was comfortable and safe the entire time.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Snout & About Pet Care. Josh is so caring and patient with my dog, he makes sure to follow Edgar’s regular schedule (which is full of exercise bc he’s a high energy guy!), and sends numerous updates when I’m away. I’m able to really enjoy myself knowing both my dog and cat are loved and cared for just as much as when I’m home! Edgar always comes home happy and loves when he gets to stay with Josh at Snout & About Pet Care!”

"Emmy, our 2 year old Boston, had so much fun at Joshua's place. She felt safe and loved even though she can be a bit energetic. She made friends and loved all the fetch time she got. I will use Josh in the future."
