After just one week, we came in for a training session and already noticed a significant improvement. We then went away for two more weeks, and every single day we received photos, videos, and detailed updates. The communication was exceptional! You can really feel the heart, love, and care they pour into every dog, and that makes all the difference. A special thank you to Casandra and AJ, who are incredible trainers so kind, thoughtful, and genuinely gifted at what they do. They gave our dog the most impactful framework and boundaries, and it's clear they pour their hearts into every animal in their care. That level of dedication is exactly what you want when deciding where to send your dog. We look forward to daycare, continued training, and group dog walks. We are forever grateful to The Bark Collective. We can't recommend them highly enough!

I'm happy to say that all my worries went away as Lori was great with my buns! They are not that easy to touch and hold, but Lori won them over and they were very social with her and not scared! They even let her pet and hold them, I am shocked lol. Lori is very reliable, fed them exactly as they needed, and allowed me to have a stress-free vacation. It means a lot to have someone I can rely on so that I don't get nervous about being away. She sends photos daily, shows up on time, and I appreciated the extra care that she tidied up and did a fresh litter box for my return.

The first couple times we used Sitter4Paws we had a really great experience with the sitters that were assigned to our senior, diabetic cat. Last year, my mother unexpectedly passed away, and our regular cat sitter was unavailable for half of the trip home. We booked Sitter4Paws the second half of the trip, and let them know about the circumstances and requested sitters that had seen Jodie before so that we could rest easy during a very difficult time. Of course we know that can't always be accommodated due to scheduling, so for the first visit a new sitter came to see Jodie. On the evening of my mother's passing, we got a text from Sitter4Paws that the sitter felt he may have made a mistake with our cat's insulin dosage. It was revealed to us that instead of giving her her normal 2.25 unit dose, he gave her 22.5 units - ignoring the taped off/labeled syringes, our explicit written instructions in the app, and additional photos/diagrams of what a full syringe should look like. Thank god he realized his mistake, otherwise our cat would have slowly died alone in our apartment - and this would have happened immediately after losing my mom. I understand mistakes can happen, but the fact that a sitter was uncertain with potentially life-threatening medication if administered improperly and didn't even think to reach out to us first was quite shocking. Sitter4Paws took full responsibility, admitted their mistake, said they would take steps to make sure something like this would never happen again, and covered her 4 day ER stay, but it never should have gotten to that point. Again - we did have great sitters who took care of our cat wonderfully - but the uncertainty of who you can get especially with medication involved means that we can no longer recommend this service with confidence.
