Pet Sitters in Laconia

My puppy has separation anxiety, so I started looking around for doggy daycare options while I’m at work. I found Raven’s service online and saw the good reviews/how close it was in proximity to my home. They have been extremely communicative and professional throughout the entire process. I get a “report card” at the end of my pup’s stay - complete with beautiful photos that make me feel like I was still a little part of his day. Not only does he get to socialize with other pets, he gets to expend all his puppy energy - which means he’s tuckered out and ready for sleep at the end of the day. Naturally I was worried to leave my puppy with other people, especially during a pandemic, but Raven’s K9to5 has alleviated that anxiety completely. They truly seem to care about my pup. Raven and her husband have exceeded my expectations and I am very satisfied with the care my puppy is receiving/has received thus far!

I am so glad I found Raven and her husband! I have never felt so confident about someone else taking care of my doggo. Bella Rose has so much fun when she goes to stay with Raven. When we go on vacation she goes to doggy camp! She always has friends to play with and they do play! She is always so worn out when she comes home. And I love the pictures that I get every day. And the report card usually cracks me up. I was really late picking up Bella and they just rolled with it. Traveling is unpredictable sometimes. Thank you Raven for all the times you’ve watched Belle! We only use Raven now!

So thankful for Raven! She was able to help me on short notice and was super sweet and helpful! She was very patient with my shy and grumpy rabbit, and dropped by my hotel twice a day to make sure she had everything she needed. I was extremely anxious about leaving my rabbit alone, but Raven sent me pictures of her when she could, and I felt so much more comfortable about leaving. Very thankful to have found her and will absolutely be using her again when I go out of town!

I went to Florida for 5 days and used Ravens K9 to 5 to board my yorkie. This was the first time I have ever had to board my baby and I was so weiry about leaving him with just anybody. We are new to the area and really dont know anyone yet. I looked into the "pet suite" facilities that offer boarding and they keep the dogs in a kennel and all the dogs are left over night by themselves. When I found Ravens K9 and seen that the dogs were house board, I felt my dog would be alot happier there. After dropping him off I was so sad and couldn't even enjoy my vacation due to being worried about him. Raven made sure to ease my mind and send me pics and videos showing me that my baby was happy and enjoying himself. This made it much easier being away from him. I will use Ravens K9 to 5 every time I need a babysitter. He is now home safe and sound and I couldn't be happier!! Thanks Raven

After multiple pet sitters backed out we contacted Raven in the middle of a busy holiday planning season. Thankfully she was able to fit in our crew of 4 dogs and 1 cat. She stayed the nights at our house and did multiple daily check ins with them. Her communication was fantastic and we loved getting daily photos. Our house was left clean so you could tell she treated it as her own. The animals all enjoyed her company despite having a few naughty moments! We hope to use her again for any future vacations.

I had a wonderful experience with Raven caring for our pets while we were away. This was my 1st time ever hiring a company for pet services. Raven did a wonderful job of answering all of my questions before she even began services, and kept us updated every step of the way...including pictures of my babies being cared for so superbly!! I HIGHLY recommend this company for anyone in need of a responsible and informative caregiver for your pets. I could not have asked for anything better, and will definitely use her services if the need ever came about in the future!

This was our first time using Raven's services for home visits for our 7+ year old cat Lola. Everything about our experience was wonderful. Raven and her husband were both friendly and knowledgable during their introductory meeting in our home. Lola warmed up to Raven very quickly. We were concerned in that we adopted Lola through Wisconsin Purebred Cat Rescue last Summer and she had never been without us overnight before. Her previous owners left her for sometimes weeks at a time. Raven let us know about her arrival and gave us thorough updates after each visit (including wonderful pictures). We highly recommend Raven's K9 to 5 Pet Services and will certainly use her services again when we are going to be away on overnight trips. Lola seemed to bond with Raven very quickly. Thanks Raven!

We used Raven's while out of town on vacation and found it to be a great place for our pup. Our dog, a Great Dane named Willow, had a blast there and literally played until she could play no more! The daily reports were very helpful and the daily photos that were included in the reports were an added bonus. Communication was quick and easy, and not to mention, Willow had a blast. Definitely will use Raven's again when the time comes!

We have used Raven's K9 to 5 Pet Services for the past 3 years each time we've gone away. Raven does her best to accommodate our travel schedules, and, more importantly, has treated our dogs like family -with care and attention. As our dogs have gotten older, their needs have changed. Raven is always attentive to what is required for their comfort and contentment. 😊

Raven provided excellent care for our two senior cats in our home for a few days. On each visit, we received notification when she was arriving, followed up with lots of photos of the cats and a report card of how they were doing. Her care of litter boxes, feedings, and other details was meticulous. Communication is awesome and she responds to questions immediately. I highly recommend her for excellent care of your pets!

We moved away and have had no luck in Florida coming close to the quality of care we have received both with doggy daycare and boarding here. Our dog runs in the door each time she arrives and considers it her second home. It has been so good to be back in KY for 2 weeks and to take advantage of such high quality care. Our dog comes home happy and and well socialized. Amazing professional and caring staff work there! And the price is so affordable with consistent and generous hours. Look no further than Barks on Bauer! We hate to go home.

The owner and staff are amazing! They care about our dog as if she is their own. They are thorough in working with vets to get needed records, great at creating a safe, clean, fun, stimulating atmosphere , and always available to answer any needed questions. I have worked with several doggy daycares, private and big box. Barks on Bauer is hands down the best one!

Barks is great! Acorn and Spice love going to daycare. They always come home tired and happy. Love the photos posted on social media to see how they are doing. Bill is very dedicated to caring for all the dogs. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough kind words about Barks. I’ve been taking my dog Potter here for almost 3 years since I rescued him as a puppy. I travel a lot, and this is the only place I’d trust with my dog. He is always so excited to go here and runs directly to the door when I drop him off. It makes me so happy to be able to leave him somewhere that I know he loves when I go out of town!

I was in a pinch for a quick-sitter for my pooch over the weekend and this place was a godsend. Staff was super chill, worked with me on a funky time slot when nobody else would squeeze me in. The in-house boarding/kennel area is spacious with plenty of sunlight and warm air -- nice setup! (I hate leaving my baby in the concrete cells and dingy cages all-too-common back home.) You can tell these people love dogs. Very reasonable rates and easy to communicate with. If I'm in town and need a sitter again I won't be looking anywhere else.

Barks on Bauer was an amazing daycare for our 4-year-old lab/shepherd mix. We took him 2-3x a week for 2 years and he was always excited to go and exhausted from a day full of playing with pals! We recently moved away from Louisville and are so bummed we can't take him there anymore!! Would leave Moose with Bill and the rest of the staff any day. Thanks for a great 2 years Barks on Bauer!

Barks is a gem in the Louisville area. They will love and care for your dogs like family. You will not find a better daycare and boarding situation for your fur babies. We relocated to Atlanta and we haven't yet found a comparable place for our pets. We miss Barks on Bauer!

I wasn’t going to leave a comment until the business accused me of leaving a “fake review”. I gave one stat because when calling to inquire about daycare for my GSD I was told they don’t take that breed because others have been aggressive. This is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. My dog has been going to daycare in Daytona for 3 years, since he was 9 months old, and has NEVER had an issue. I’ve never heard of a place banning certain breeds and I think it’s poor business practice. So this is in fact NOT a fake review.

Our rescue dog Zep had a great time staying overnight with Bill and Barks on Bauer. I found Barks thanks to a google search when we needed last minute dog care due to a death in the family. Bill was wonderful and reassuring when I dropped my dog off. The online portal allowed for easy booking and paying. Zep had a blast during his overnight stay and I was even able to have his nails cut while he was there! Bill sent me updates during the day and gave me some more info when I picked Zep up including better info on how our newish dog interacted with others which provided me with great info for our upcoming obedience training. I will definitely continue to use Barks for socialization for daycare and overnight as needed.

Barks on Bauer is the best place for doggie daycare in St. Matthews. Others may be good, but Lynda and Bill at Barks on Bauer really excel, and go the extra mile. Our greyhound and Boston terrier really love going there! Highly recommend!

Judging by how excited my dog is to go to group play every week, I gotta say this place is great! I love the themed daycare days and every employee I’ve met has been lovely. We’ve used PetSuites a few times for trips and he was definitely in good hands.

First time boarding here. The staff was very helpful and put us at ease. Web cams were great. Staff was attentive and they kept the facility clean. Our pups enjoyed their stay. We will be back.

The Pet Suites staff continue to be very friendly and helpful with any questions I have. The staff appear to go above and beyond to take care of the animals there, and ensure they have a great stay. Our dog is always excited when we are going in, and all smiles coming out. My only reason for a 4 star vs 5 (although I’d give 4.8 if I could) is purely bc of the price per day. They are still unmatched in terms of quality and care elsewherr, just unfortunate the prices consistently go up year over year with minimal changes in the full experience. I would highly recommend Pet Suites to all my friends and family.

My experience with the staff was positive, however, the two times my dog came for daycare, he came home with injuries/bites on his face, nose and ears that were all bleeding. Each time I was told he was just enjoying play or playing with a puppy that plays rough, but I feel someone should have been supervising and intervened before multiple injuries are sustained in one day AND should have notified me, but both times, I noticed these injuries after loading him in the car to go home. Dogs who are known to bite and cause these injuries should not be welcomed in a group play setting. I understand, things can happen, but being 2/2 has made me uneasy about him returning to this location. I was going to give this day care a try one more time, but ultimately decided the injuries aren't worth the risk. I would suggest video cameras for the parents to check in on their pets or watch back when incidents like this occur.

We have only ever used Petsuites for our dog's grooming - and we have nothing but great things to say! Drew does an amazing job every time and always very happy to see our dog, Pierre. I highly recommend her for your dog's next groom!

We recently moved to Louisville and needed a place for our two Goldendoodle puppies to stay for a long weekend. I walked in and the girl behind the desk was very friendly explaining all the different options that we had for the two puppies to stay together. She offered to give me a tour right there on the spot which I accepted! I got to see where the dogs go for daycare after they’re evaluated and the different options for boarding. Pet suites Middletown has very friendly and helpful employees and the whole facility was very clean. They stayed there a total of five days and four nights and I got daily updates on there condition and progress in their daycare. When I went to pick up the puppies the employee behind the desk was a different one and very friendly as well…and explained to me what all the charges were. Great first experience… We will continue to take our two puppies there and I would highly recommend this facility.

We love PetSuites Middletown. They treat our pet just like family! Our dog cannot wait to get out of the car when we pull into the parking lot. He cannot wait to see his puppy friends.

Our first time boarding here and it was fantastic from start to finish! We are already booked for another weekend! Such a comforting feeling knowing our dog is being treated so good.

Kat for Grooming!🙌 Kat did an outstanding job with our 2 doodles! Kat is so welcoming and friendly and patient to listen to exactly what my grooming preferences were for each pup. She was so patient with our 28 lb./10 month old Tucker....who was having his very first groom/cut and communicated with me throughout the process, to get my approval if any changes were needed (due to his matting on legs, fear of blow dryer, etc.)! Couldn't be more pleased and thankful to have found Kat! 🐩🐕 ("Krystal" - cream & "Tucker" - the red head;)

PetSuites was the most sociable puppy grooming out of the 5 I spoke to in and around Middletown and Oldham County. The ladies working there were so nice and our puppy Charlie I hope was nice to them! He looks so cute. We'll definitely be taking him back. Fran and Jim Nichols

A great place that lets my overly excited 90 lb German shepherd stay on short notice. Never had any problems with them. The only thing I could even think of that would be negative is my dog smells after her stay, but I think she would after staying at any strange place.

I wanted to share w you all so you do not use the same boarding place I did, to house our family member, Bella. We dropped her off Monday morning onJune 17 2024 b4 we heading to Alabama & she was "happy go lucky & in perfect health." We arrived home at 10:45p on Saturday June 22 2024 and received a phone call @ 11:10p that she was having labored breathing (that they just noticed). They told us when I scheduled her to be boarded that we couldn't pick her up until Sun (6/23/24) at 7am bc they don't have late hrs etc.. When we picked her up we noticed her breathing, she had lost close to 5lbs or more, and was lethargic.. we assumed it was her allergies& have her one of her allergy pills & tried to get her to eat or drink water but she didn't. We put her in bed w us & at 5:30a we noticed she was breathing more labored.. and couldn't stand. We called 2 different emergency vet's and they said 2hr-6hr waits.. so we gathered her up & heading that direction. Bella passed on the way there. 7mins from the emergency vet. The boarding places was called Just for Pets here in Floyds Knobs. I would've assumed, they had to notice her demeanor way b4 her breathing was an issue & weight loss (not eating or drinking). Our vacation was the best we've had in 5+yrs and now, devastation hit within 12hrs of arriving home.. I’m attaching a photo of her before she was dropped off ..

Just for Pets always goes above and beyond for our dog! He’s nervous natured and they make him feel comfortable and at home with every stay. They go out of their way to make him feel like family. I never worry about him because I know he’s in the best hands. This visit for him was no different. Thank you for all you do for our dog each and every visit!

The staff is always willing to help and focuses on the well-being of your pet. Our dogs is always happy to walk in and stress free when walking out. They adapt as needed and many times go above expected service. Unless they go out of business, we move out, or stop having a dog, we plan to use Just For Pets whenever we travel.

We left our boy Leo there and they were fantastic! Thanks so much for all you all do with our fur pups. ♥️

I left my 2 dogs here for 6 days. My large dog lost 8 pounds! They never once called to tell me she was not doing well. I’m guessing no one even noticed. Both dogs smelled so bad (like disinfectant) that I had to bathe them as soon as we got home.

This place is absolutely amazing! I have been to other grooming and boarding places with my fur babies and this place is by far the best. The women there treat my babies like their own. I have been to other places that smell like dirty dog. This place always smells clean. My babies always come home happy, clean, and beautiful. When I leave them while I am away I know they are in great hands. They never seem stressed or nervous. I ask them if the are ready to go see their friends at Just For Pets and they get so excited. I highly reccomend them for your fur babies.

We recently had a health scare with one of our dogs while they were here and the staff went above and beyond to help us. We were out of town and they took our dog to the vet and really helped put our mind at ease while we were away. I will not be taking our dogs anywhere but here any time soon.

Wonderful people and more importantly they are wonderful to our dog. He always comes back happy and like he had his own vacation and made plenty of friends. Only place we will trust him at.

Boarded my dog for a week. Very disappointed that there was no report on how she did, if she seemed to enjoy her time. She was extremely exhausted when she came home and had lost weight. I don't think they gave her the blanket I sent, because it was still folded in the bag and had no dog hair on it. They sent home more than half of the food I sent, and I had portioned it out in individual bags for morning and evening. They came across as if this is a dog holding facility not a home away from home for your furry family member. Will look for somewhere else if I need to board my dog again.

Ashley has groomed our goldendoodle a few times now and we have been happy with the results! She always calls before she begins to confirm what we want done. And Happy Hounds allows us to drop off and pick up our dog before and after our work schedule which makes it easier to have her groomed during the week.

This daycare is the best of the best. I bring my three dogs here and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care that staff has shown for them. My girls are a bit high maintenance and the staff obviously puts effort into making them as comfortable as possible during their visits. If the staff does notice anything odd about how my dogs are behaving, they let me know immediately and I can’t express how much I appreciate that. I refer everyone I know to this daycare because I truly trust how they are managed. I even drive 15 minutes in the opposite way of my job in order to take them here over anywhere else closer to my job. Thanks for showing so much love to my girls, it means the world!

It is my first time boarding any of my dogs and it has been very relieving knowing my pup is in good hands. I have been able to see my fur baby on Facebook post having the best time! The owner toured me through the facility prior to committing. Seeing for myself, the cleanliness and care the staff has for all the pups makes it less stressful needing to leave town again! Highly recommend!

Ashley listens to what you want and does a fabulous job when grooming my dog. my dog loves going to doggie daycare there. The staff is friendly and very welcoming

Not a fan of this place. First I was not aware that the dogs are kept outside all day, no matter how hot or cold. Also, as others have stated, the place is run by a bunch of very young ladies who appear to be quite unsure around the dogs. They look like they are in over their heads and don't seem to know what they are doing. I really don't have any confidence in their abilities. I would not recommend taking your dog there.

We love to take our two Scottish Terriers, Raven and Rose there weekly. They love our girls like family. We even use their groomer, and are happier than any grooming service in the city. We wouldn't know what to do without our friends at Happy Hounds! 🥰🐾 …

Good place, nice facility but did give my dog kennel cough on the very first visit, had 50 dogs that day 7/20. Similar to school - just wish people didn’t bring their sick dog to doggie day care!! Or they had a way to screen that.

I have nothing but good things to say about Happy Hounds. Our dog loves going there and the grooming service is top notch!

We have taken Oakley here twice a week for the past 8 months, and he absolutely loves it! He always comes home tired because he plays so much throughout the day, and he’s always barking with joy and pulling me in the door when I drop him off because he’s so excited. He’s been groomed here several times, and they’ve always done a great job. We love it! Attached is his photo from the Christmas photo shoot they did last December. We loved it so much we ordered a big canvas of it to hang on the wall around the holidays ♥️

Our two Scottish Terriers love to be boarded and attend daycare here. We completely trust them, and know our dogs are cared for. They communicate frequently with us, and the rates and technology are all fair and easy to navigate. There are no hidden fees or costly add-ons, just fair pricing and love for animals. Each animal gets the love they need.

Meows and Growls have been a lifesaver for us. When our senior dogs were still alive, Sheila visited them twice a day to take them outside. She was very sweet and caring with them. Sheila is dependable and punctual. We’ve never had a single problem with Meows and Growls. I can’t recommend them any more highly. We now have a new puppy and we will be using Meows and Growls for a long time to come.

We had Meows & Growls Pet Sitting Service care for our 4 adult cats while we were away in Florida for a week. This service is as professional as it gets. The care our cats received was simply outstanding! Sheila sent us photos and videos of our cats every day while we were away. She played with them and even bought some toys. When we returned our cats were like, "Ho hum, there's our owners,...now where's that fun lady that visited and played with us everyday". Thanks Sheila and our kitties look forward to us leaving the house again and seeing you!

They love our Casey as their own. We text our dates of need and we get a response by end of the day. Honestly Casey loves them. They take her on walks, which is a treat for her as well as spend time with her during the visit. When it storms, they’ve turned on classical music to her calm her too. They’ve watered our flower baskets & bring in the mail. These folks are the best we’ve ever had and we feel very fortunate to have found them. We’ve used them for the last 3 years since our prior sitter retired.

Sheila is wonderful with our pets. We have worked with her for several years and are extremely satisfied with her service.

Boarded my wild child here this past week. He had attended daycare twice just to make sure he was a good fit and I’ve been super pleased each time. I love the structure of daycare and smaller play groups. The building is super nice and I like that there are indoor/outdoor runs. Super organized processes. I was a complicated first time boarder client…changed pick up date and then the flight got delayed twice so my family picked him up. They were understanding and let me pay by phone. Everyone has been very nice! Love being able to watch videos of them playing too!

Whiskers and paws do a great job taking care of my fur baby when I’m gone. When I call to check on her they are always willing to tell me all the deets on how she’s doing. I love them. She will never go anywhere else while we are on vacation.

We recently moved to KY and were in search of a safe, loving spot for our pups to board when we have work trips or vacations. I went by Whiskers and Paws one day and met Shannon and her son. They were more than willing to give me a tour and answer all of my questions. The facilities were very clean and it was clear dogs were well cared for. I brought Rhett and Houser in for a test day of daycare and the staff quickly learned their personalities. The pups seemed to have a blast so we booked a 2 week stay for our trip in March. Rhett and Houser had a great time during their stay and came home exhausted, happy and healthy. It was obvious that the structure at Whiskers and Paws was a safe environment for them - they didn’t even have upset tummies when they came home (which is the norm after that long of a stay). We will definitely return to Whiskers and Paws and we are grateful for Shannon and her staff for taking such great care of our fur babies!

Miss Tonja & Miss Tinik accommodated my two babies at the last minute cause this mama was stressing where they would go. Nala and Nubby love them so much and we are definitely be using them again. Thank you ladies and blessings upon you both

We recently boarded our babies at Bam’s and were extremely satisfied with the care they received! We got pics and videos so we could see how well they were being cared for. Both dogs were bathed and groomed when we picked them up. I will definitely be telling everyone about the great experience we had with them and would highly recommend Bam’s for boarding and grooming!

My sweet boy went and spent a weekend with BAM and had a great time! I received pictures and videos of him enjoying the yard. He was truly loved and cared for by these two women. I will definitely be bringing him back!

Omg. The ladies at bams will take great care of your pup! Photos and video each day while you're gone. I will definitely be coming here for any further grooming and doggy day care i may need.

I really appreciate the care the owners of Bam's Pet Boarding provided for my dog recently. It was the first time my corso had been away from me and due to the excellent care provided, she had no issues and enjoyed the other dogs. I will definitely be back in the near future with both of my dogs. Highly recommend Bam's for your dog boarding needs.

Highly recommend BAM's Pet Boarding. My dog Luna was spoiled and treated with so much love and care while I was away. I love how I was sent videos and pictures every day. Everyone at BAM's are such lovely and friendly people and I trust them with my animals any time. If anyone needs Pet Boarding BAM's is the place to go and I promise you won't regret it. Your fur babies will be returned to you even though they won't want to leave.

Tonja and her team were so friendly when we came to drop the pups off! I love the communication and videos she sent while the pups were staying with her! Saved her info for future stays. Thank you Tonja!

My Bella has been coming here for the past few months and she will NOT be going any where else!! Bella is so loved and so spoiled by them and she acts like she doesn’t belong to me whenever they’re around, lol. They are very professional and very understanding! I love the peace of mind that they give us by sending pictures and even offering to FaceTime us while we are gone. Most places leave our babies caged up for hours at a time, but Bella and the other babies are always out running around and playing with one another. We were coming back late one night and they had an emergency come up and took our baby with them on a 3 day trip with no extra cost to us. She had a ball, lol. They also offer grooming services as well and I was impressed. I’ve only met one other groomer that can get Bella together. Bella is a teacup Yorkie and she always makes friends with all of the other dogs they have there so no matter how big or small your fur baby is I can assure you that they will be safe and loved! Disclaimer: They may not want to come home!

My daughter have to bord her dog until she moved. They were so great with her. I recommend if you have to bord your that a place to go. They even do grooming and they have doggie daycare.

This was our first time at Bam's Pet Boarding and we had a wonderful experience. My dog Lucy hadn't been groomed in several months and needed it badly. Tonja did an excellent job grooming her and took care of her like one of her own. Lucy enjoyed playing with the other dogs very much. We definitely will be back!! I couldn't recommend them more for your grooming and boarding needs. :)

We had our three dogs boarded here a week. The owners were very nice & quickly responded when we asked about our dogs. They made sure all of their needs were met & that they were well taken care of for their stay. Highly recommend! We will be bringing our babies back. Thank you!

Been going there for years. Becky is outstanding with all my pups. They take good care of them. Harry has been good as well. I always call to check on them. Clean facility. Has a dog smell, but hey it’s a kennel. I know my babies will be fine even though I still worry when I travel and can’t take them with me. They make it less stressful knowing they will be taken care of.

The first time at the kennel was a great experience. I have 2 dogs and they were well treated very well. The staff made sure their time spent was enjoyable. Very nice facility with individual outdoor runs. Price is reasonable.

Amazing!! I was so nervous! This was our first time boarding our dog and I wasn't sure how she would handle it. The staff made me feel so comfortable and at ease! Rosie was also very comfortable there! Everyone we came in contact with with fantastic and so great with Rosie! Also the prices are great!! Our number choice for boarding from now on!

Absolutely do not take your dogs here. We gave this business a try and it was a horrible experience. Neither time we used them did our dog receive his medicine he needs. When asked about it, I was lied to, saying he got it. When I said the same amount was still in his pill container the story changed. I also found his directions i had typed up balled up in the bottom of a bag, like someone had just had a tantrum and tore it up. Don't take your babies here!

Our dog loved it there. He seemed happy and glad we left him there for a whole week. Becky, the owner, is a sweetheart. I definitely recommend her dog kennels. Very clean and spacious as well for large dogs to stay.

We have taken our fur babies to Creature comfort for about three years, Becky is Wonderful with our pets. Xena Loves to go? We have used their service for a day and for a week. They are SO Caring! Highly recommend Creature Comfort.

Our dog had fun and enjoyed her stay. She liked it so much, she whines when we drive by like we're heading to the river. Super nice staff for the humans too. We will be back, thanks!

This place is wonderful! We have boarded multiple dogs here. They are the cleanest facility that we have ever seen and they treat our pets so well. Highly recommend.

We have an 11 year old bull dog that is rotten and they always go above and beyond to make sure Sir Earl is taken care of. He has no issues with wanting to stay ( makes me sad) but I know he is well taken care of. I highly recommend them!
