   A Happy Customer

Dear Joel,

When my husband and I first visited Tucker Pup's, we knew it was the best environment for our dogs Neo and Linus. We have visited nearly a dozen boarding facilities in Chicago and realized after meeting with you our dogs were in a caring and safe environment. They love going so much that when we are within a few blocks of the facility they start crying and get overly excited in the car and they are dragging us through the door. We realized how wonderful everyone was when I called the 2nd day of them staying overnight and you immediately put me through to the handler watching them. I have boarded dogs my entire life and I have never felt as comfortable as I do when Neo and Linus stay at Tucker Pup's.

Thanks for everything Joel.

Ines, Ken, Neo and Linus Roszkowski
