"See Spot Run came into our lives when Tico was about 2 1/2 years old. He is a rescue from Mexico, has an alter-ego of Tico Diablo, and like many rescues, requires lots of TLC and firm boundaries. When looking for care for my rescue, I knew I needed someone who would be firm and loving and have patience to care for a rescue. See Spot Run has been amazing for him, he has not only learned to socialize and put that street dog attitude away (for the most part) but has also learned to behave on off-leash hikes! This work has been done in partnership, what I do at home gets reinforced at See Spot Run so his training is consistent. Denise and Alessandro should be called dog whisperers!  

Life happens, and when it does, I know that all I have to do is pick up the phone and call See Spot Run and they are there to help take care of Tico as if he was one of their own. We fondly call Denise, his second mom, and See Spot Run is his other home. I am at complete peace of mind when Tico is in care there, whether long or short term stay. I know he will be treated as one of the pack, be loved, and well taken care of, as Alessandro and Denise treat every dog as part of their pack and one of their own. They are well trained, responsible, and most importantly, dog focused. They have been amazing for Tico and he always loves to see his dog-bag packed because he knows he is going to visit his second home and family.

Thanks for all that you do Denise and Alessandro--"

"Our dog Teddy has been going for hikes and boarding with See Spot Run since December 2007. Denise and Alessandro are spectacular dog people and we trust them unconditionally with our furry boy. He recently had major abdominal surgery and we considered cancelling a vacation to stay home with him, but we decided to board him with See Spot Run because we knew he would get the care and attention he needed. He had a great week of relaxation with his buddies and we had a week in the sun, worry free."

"We have been entrusting the safety and happiness of our black lab, Jack, to See Spot Run and Denise's and Alessandro's care for several years and could not be happier. The care, professionalism and wealth of information they provide has been of tremendous comfort to my wife and I, I have absolutely no hesitation recommending their services."

I know  Finnegan is well looked after and loved when he is out on his walk with See Spot Run. In fact, when I ask him "Who is coming for him?" He starts to moan and pace around in anticipation. I think that means he likes his walks!
