They are the backbone of the family, helping make owning dogs easy. They are always available in a pinch, even after hours when my wife was going into labor.

She's done day care for my puppy Kuma and our two cats multiples times now and they're all comfortable with her being in the house. Rebecca has saved me a couple times as well when I needed someone to dogsit last minute, so I'm really thankful for that. She will also update you throughout the day if there are any potty accidents, eating habits, funny moments, photos, etc. so you'll feel connected with your fur baby even if you're not there physically. Thanks Rebecca!

This is the first time I ever hired a professional pet sitter for my spoiled and picky bun buns…read more Rebecca is super meticulous, professional, and compassionate. She immediately put me at ease with how quick she "got" the daily care routine for my three bunnies. She even brought up things I never even thought of that were super important! What an animal lover! During vacation, Rebecca updated me everyday with photos and comments. She is great with their enrichment in addition to the essential needs as well. When I returned, my buns were super healthy and happy and the house was clean and tidy. I cannot recommend Rebecca highly enough and I am so happy to find her for my future pet sitter when traveling!

Carla is just the best!…read more Our overactive border collie absolutely loves her. Carla takes the dog pack out for super long off leash walks and when Jack comes home he naps for hours. She's very flexible with scheduling and always accommodates us if we're out of town or have a change in our schedule. She also does boarding which has worked great for us on weekend getaways when we can't bring Jack. They get kongs every night and we think Jack may start to like Carla more than us

I have been using Bark About Town for almost 2yrs now (this review is long overdue!)…read moreMy dog was adopted as a rescue, full of anxiety, fear aggression, and very cautious of men. Carla has been a blessing in helping socialize him and refer me to an excellent trainer to continue his skills and curb his behavior. My dog loves the pack walks/hikes and occasional overnights. Carla is an excellent communicator and alerts you if one of the pack dogs might be sick so you can keep an eye out for your own pup. She's thoughtful, responsible and loves my dog like her own.

Alyssa and Guillermo at Claws and Paws in the Bay were absolutely wonderful with our kitten, Onion…read more They cared for him with home visits twice a day for about two weeks over the holiday period- we booked fairly late when many places were already full. We really appreciated that Alyssa came by ahead of time to meet Onion before the booking. Their pricing is also super reasonable for the quality of care. We were really impressed by Alyssa's communication: we received updates every visit with photos and cute, quick write-ups that kept us in the loop. We were a bit nervous since this was our first time leaving Onion, but Claws and Paws made it a comfortable and stress-free experience. We'll definitely be using them again the next time we leave the city!

He taught me not only the how but the why of how each approach works. It really is surprising how a lot of this is reflected in the world and people around us.

Training with Mike has completely changed our lives with our GSD. We used to dread walks because of…read moreour GSD's frustrated greeter issues and excessive leash pulling, but the 1-on-1 training sessions turned everything around. We learned how to incorporate tools like the e-collar and prong collar correctly and humanely as part of a balanced training program. I really appreciated the direct, no-nonsense communication style. He gives you the facts and the fixes without sugarcoating, which is exactly what we needed. We now have a dog that we can trust off-leash even in distracting environments. The best testament to the training was seeing our GSD maintain his recall and stay by our side, even when the other dogs he was hanging out with ignored their owners and ran off to cause chaos. If you want real-world results and a trainer who tells it like it is, I highly recommend Mike.

Bill cared for my cats many times over 9 years, and for two weeks or more at a time. He's always…read morebeen trustworthy, reliable and done a great job. I get daily "news" updates with a photo or two, which I appreciate greatly when I miss my little pocket panthers. He takes care of any messes (Sorry Bill!), plays with them, and even brings in my mail. He's even provided knowledable advice on healthcare and feeding. I can't imagine a better sitter than him, and I would be happy to provide a direct recommendation.

I called Bill when my previous pet sitter was unavailable . I must say Bill went above and beyond…read morethe call of duty . I have two cats and one of them is 17 y/o and has diabetes. She needs insulin injections twice a day 12 hours apart. I was hesitant to even go on vacation because of this as I know me being away is very rough on her. I normally give her baths once a week because she is a Maine coon and it's hard for her to clean herself properly in her old age because of her larger size and arthritis . Suffice to say I went on vacation anyway. Upon meeting Bill at our meet and greet he showed up on time and took copious notes . Bill showed up to my house on time everyday twice a day for 11 days to give Baretta her injections and clean out both cat bowls, three water bowls and two litter boxes . Handling Baretta was no easy task and most people would not be able to deal with her. She is fine with just me or my partner but with others she acts like a wild beast- hissing, growling, swatting, and resisting as much as she possibly can. She is a strong, stubborn cat . Bill was committed and provided me updates via text and video or her in her beastly state . Bill even had to move a heavy bed and mattress out of the way just to be able to get to her because Baretta had figured out a way to get underneath the bed even though I had barricaded it prior. Bill has a lot of experience with cats and especially feral cats as he mentioned to me so he had an understanding of why Baretta was acting the way she was and never seemed to surprised by her antics . I don't know if I will go on vacations anytime soon because I don't like to leave her by herself but if I do I'm def calling Bill again and I hope he will take my offer . I feel safe leaving my precious princess In Bill's care and I think that's what is most important when finding a pet sitter . Also, Bill's rates are extremely reasonable for the service he provides. I hope Bill stays in business for a long time and he has definitely earned his stripes .

If I could give Wiggling Tails more stars I would! Their daycare is unmatched. They treat my 5 year…read moreold King Charles, Pippa, like one of their own/family. We first enrolled about a year ago and Michael and Martha did an intake evaluation to make sure Pippa would fit in. After that Pippa was enrolled in their daycare 2x a week. One fabulous thing about Wiggling Tails is that they do pick up and drop offs in the city! Michael, Martha, and team are excellent communicators and are willing to be flexible. I LOVE all the fun photo shoots they do. They are so creative and go above and beyond. I'm including in my post the Valentine's Day and Mother's Day photo shoots which they framed for me . In addition to the photo shoots they will take action shots and videos of your pup during the day. I have always felt safe sending Pippa to Wiggling Tails. Pippa is always so excited when she sees the Wiggling Tails van and will literally leap into the crate in the back (and she hates crates)! I love Wiggling Tails and highly highly recommend them. It's been the best decision I've made for Pippa. Thank you Martha, Michael, and team for all you do for Pippa!

Wiggling Tails is literally the only dog care establishment I trust with my pup. With Martha,…read moreMichael, and their close-knit crew, I can trust that my Lizou (2 year old 13 lb YorkiePoodle) is not only well taken care of, but treated like family/like their own. Not only do I trust and love Wiggling Tails for my dog's weekly daycare (and periodically overnight boarding), but Lizou LOVES them too... He knows that when he goes to Daycare, he's in for a day of fun with some doggos AND some humans. Getting Lizou integrated into the Wiggling Tails schedule at a young age (~6months) was the BEST decision we ever made -- for me, and for Lizou (for structure, for dog friendliness, etc.). I actively recommend my friends' pups to consider them too! Now, Lizou even has dog friends that he has known from "the outside" within the Daycare schedule! Also.. the pickup/drop off schedule is one of a kind in the bay area, and SO convenient to work around work schedules! One additional note to add to my review of their high quality, loving, clean, and SAFE care of dogs, is that you never know what special gems the staff and owners will surprise and delight you with... whether it's neat swag, special holiday-themed photo-ops, or action videos from daily play... Wiggling Tails provides the utmost care AND some really adorable and thoughtful added bonuses.

The best caretaker for my fur baby!…read more I can't say enough great things about Chantel and City Girls Dog Care! From the moment I reached out, I felt like my husky lab Kuma would be in the best hands. Chantel is incredibly responsive, kind, and passionate about dogs. Chantel and her team have looked after Kuma a few times now, and I'll definitely keep coming back. During my recent trip, I received daily updates and adorable photos that reassured me he was happy and well-cared for. City Girls Dog Care followed my care instructions perfectly. They gave him plenty of love and even went the extra mile by taking him on hikes. What really stood out was how excited Kuma gets whenever he sees Chantel. It's clear she has a true knack for connecting with dogs and training them.

She will trim their nails, play, cuddle, and generally spoil them rotten. I feel bad when I find out that she had to clean up an accident or barf because no one wants to deal with that. Lyn never misses a beat. So it's really nice to know that when I am away, I don't have to wonder if my pets are OK. She emails me updates to let me know how the day's visit went and is easy to reach if I have a question. When I found out that my Persian cat had terminal kidney failure and had to have fluids injected every other day, I was a hot mess. Since I was unfamiliar with this kind of palliative care, Lyn made special trips to my place, showed me how to do it, and helped me until I had it down. Losing a pet is not easy and her kindness helped me so much during a real rough time. For that, I will always be grateful. Her rates are reasonable. I trust her completely!
