Shay was fantastic with Tucker! She was always keeping me and my wife up to date on his playdates and I really appreciated all the picture texts to feel close to him even though he was far away. When my wife picked Tucker up from Shay's place, he was so tired that his normal food begging took a major backseat to him lying around dead tired for a couple days! We will definitely use Shay again and you should too!

Shay at the Dog Ark has been such a blessing to me and my dog Willa. I have a bully breed dog so she needs a lot of socialization with other dogs and people, plus I was limited to where I could take her to get the proper excercise each day. I also work about 60 hrs a week, so unfortunately she was at home by herself before I met Shay and learned about her services. I signed up with Shay and it has been amazing for us both. Willa is in the morning pack where she is picked up from my home, gets to play with other dogs and excercises for two hours and then dropped back off at home. I do not have to take her to a location, i do not have to pick her up and when I get home from work, Willa is still exhausted from her busy day and so I am. I don't know what I would do without Shay and The Dog Ark's help!!
