I am most happy to recommend you and the Doggie Bed and Breakfast without any reservations.  Joe Holiday is an expert at handling, caring for and loving dogs. I treat my two standard poodles like they are my children, and before leaving them with the Doggie Bed & Breakfast, could not enjoy traveling because I would worry about my dogs.  My two dogs love Joe, love doing daycare with him and love staying overnight with him. When I tell them they are going to see Joe, they rush to the door or to the car.  Now I can travel without worry when my dogs stay with Joe.  Sometimes I have the dogs do daycare with Joe just because they enjoy it so much, not because I need dog daycare. Joe is also very considerate of his human neighbors, and does not allow the dogs under his care to bark or misbehave.

For our beloved dog, Pawpaw, time spent at the former Sonoma Doggie Bed & Breakfast run by Joe Holiday, was a true vacation  Pawpaw loved it!   With 2 trips to the dog park per day, fun socialization with other dogs, and lots of good, loving attention, the Doggie B & B was by far the best doggone pet spot in town.   In fact, when Pawpaw would escape (which Husky’s do), she’d run over to Joe’s  now that’s true proof of what a wonderful atmosphere Joe Holiday created and lovingly managed.
Without reservation and in support of all fine animals everywhere, we highly recommend any pet program designed and managed by Joe Holiday.
Sincerely,

Dear Joe, I’m writing to express my appreciation to you for your loving care of my rescue dog, Zelda . . . Although she has many neuroses from her days with a previous problem owner, she always comes home in great spirits, and I attribute that to your superior care of her . . . Best wishes in your new venture, as I’m sure it will be a great success . . .
    Best, bj droubi - San Francisco

It is a pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Joe Holiday, who has been providing excellent care for my dog for a year. He has consistently shown himself to be responsible, honest and helpful as a business person. In fact, I have entrusted Joe with a key to my home so that he could rescue my dog should there be a fire or other emergency situation. In addition, when I approached Joe last year for a donation to the County Animal Shelter fundraiser, Paws for Love, he was both enthusiastic and generous in his donation. (Which, sadly, I cannot say about all of the animal-related businesses I approached in the valley.) Having him in Glen Ellen would be a real addition to our little town and I wholeheartedly support him in his quest to obtain a business permit. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Before the Doggie B & B I always felt guilty boarding my dog, Lucas. I moved from Sonoma to Healdsburg a year ago and still much prefer Joe to any other option closer to me. Lucas absolutely loves going there and I always come home to a healthy, happy & sleepy dog.”

Joe Holiday, and his Doggy Bed and Breakfast, has been a great help to our family. It is comforting to know that our animals are able to stay in a cage-free environment and knowing that they will be well cared for.
