   A Happy Customer

Tucker Pups' boarding service provided us peace of mind when we boarded Chet. This was his first boarding experience, but we felt very comfortable because we had used Tucker Pup's for your daycare service. It's refreshing to know that Tucker Pup's customizes their treatment in order to make each dog feel at home. An example of this were the phone calls we received to update us of Chet's status.

I would highly recommend Tucker Pup's boarding service, as we plan on continuing to use this service in the future.
