What our clients say about us
Tikva
Only the best for you and your dog… Do you know the happy feeling of “Yeahhh- going away for the weekend or for a long vacation?!”, and realize….what to do about our dog? Do we bring her, put her in kennel or should we leave her at home? Our 2 year old Bull Terrier, Tikva did not have an easy start in life. We were her 4th family even before she was 7 months old, so having her cared for in her own known, safe environment was a must for us. Our wonderful and very professional dog trainer recommended Bones
…
N Belly Rubs, whom she had used for her own dogs. Now we are returning clients to Bones N Belly Rubs 2-3 times a year. Tikva loves the dog sitters, our neighbors report back and we have confidence in Jenny’s relaxed but highly qualified way of making sure that dog sitters and dogs are carefully matched. From the daily notes from the sitters we can monitor the visits and know our instructions have been followed. Even though we would like to take Tikva with us, it is not always possible, we are confident that is works best for Tikva to stay home when we are gone. Is it expensive? Well a holiday is rarely free, but the service we have got from Bones N Belly Rubs, has been worth every penny. Last but not least- Jenny is very flexible, so if our travel plans change or are delayed- or weather conditions get crazy- she is always very careful to make sure that our dog is in good hands and it is arranged to our satisfaction in no time. Bones N Belly Rubs is a strong team of committed dog loving people whom we feel we can count on, therefore we only give our best recommendations.”

Just wanted to thank the Bones and Belly Rubs Team who lovingly cared for my 3 rat terriers over a Christmas vacation. My dogs were happy and well cared for when I returned. They obviously had been played with after dinner because as soon as they ate, the ran to where there toys are for me to get them out. It was also so nice to read the detailed notes written about my pups from each person who visited my dogs each day. If I were to give them a grade, it would be an A+++! I’m already planning to
…
have them sit my dogs when I have another trip out of town. Thank you Bones & Belly Rubs!”

We went from having zero to 4 pets in a year and I researched very carefully who I would entrust their care to. I narrowed it down and contacted Bones and Belly Rubs for an initial interview. Jenny responded immediately and I believe we met with her and coworker, Mandy, within just a few days. They set my mind at ease that day and have been taking care of my pups and kitties since. I love how they leave little notes after each visit letting me know what the animals did and what their mood was like. These are great

to come home to. Jenny is also very flexible with her schedule and has been great about fitting in dog walks for me at the last minute, which I greatly appreciate. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bones and Belly Rubs. The peace of mind in knowing my animals are being active, entertained and well-cared for while I my family is away from home is priceless”
