He was recommended by another pet sitter who was too busy to help me and he responded right away, was very professional, and best of all showed up and did exactly what I asked him to do and more. I think my pets liked him better than they like me - although he isn't a slouch about rules and discipline. He just has that something, so I guess his business name is perfect for the service he renders. I asked him to first come to my home but now that I know him I would feel comfortable boarding my pets with him as well.

My last review was written with much sadness. An unfortunate…read moreexperience had left us feeling very disappointed. What had happened to this kennel, that we had been happily using for over 20 years? Nate called us to follow up and hear our side of the interaction with his employee. Once he learned what had occurred, he did further investigating and found that other clients had also had bad experiences. His phone call informed us that this person has been let go. Having had nothing but the most pleasant and safe boarding care in the past, we were at a loss as to where to go in the future? After our call with Nate we will be returning to Empire Kennels for our future boarding needs. Thank you Nate, Saxxon and Susan, for being willing to address this problem. Consequently, we will confidently and delightedly leave our sweet cat in their care. One star to five stars!!!

As I've moved around Northern California, I've been able to continue classes with Georgeanne. I've…read moretaken 4 dogs through her class starting at Santa Clara Dog Training Club. Georgeanne was one of my first instructors, and waaaay back then, many of the instructors were still using force training like pushing dogs into downs and sits. I can get any 8 week old puppy into a sit in 2 seconds so on earth would you ever need to push an adult dog into a down? Georgeanne was before her time, using praise and allowed her students to bring treats to reward the dogs-but, she's not a cookie pusher trainer. I learned a lot from Georgeanne and was able to show my dog in obedience which in a million years I never thought I would, or could because my dog didn't like being close to other dogs. After her classes, my dog learned to ignore other dogs and pay attention to me 100% of the time. A lot of trainers are set in their ways, and if you don't do it their way, then they don't like you as a student. I've quit many classes because of that. Georgeanne is different. She's sweet, patient, and never judges you. She'll also be honest with you. My last dog was pretty wild, and wasn't ready to go off leash for heeling. Georgeanne will tell you when is the right time for your dog to go off leash heeling and recalls. Nothing worse than having a loose dog disrupting the entire class. Georgeanne is talented trainer and also a good people person.

I travel alot and have used other services to take care of my cats many times. Im not new to this, but never felt this disappointed. I came home, cat litter box loaded with poop, cat water fountain had no water, and none coming out of the fountain. Cat water fountain never brought to the sink emptied and just washed out. Self cat feeders dragged to other parts of the house. Cats not given continual flea medicine !! Plants outside, stressed and dry as a bone. Lots of wrong mail collected from wrong house mailbox. Car left unlocked barely would start. My ring doorbell shows times in and out, dIdnt sleep over as agreed? When I contacted Melinda from outside the country to check on my cats as any owner WOULD, Melindas attitude was basically I dont have time to give updates on your cats. I have never ever experienced this kind of smug know it all attitude from a cat sitter whom I feel should be compassionate, and have a general understanding that an owner worries about their animals while away. Two 14 year old senior cats that arent used to being home alone. You put your trust in a cat sitter and pay them a lot of money and this is the result I returned to.
