We needed to arrange dog sitting for a long day away. After looking into both doggie day care and…read moredog walking options, we decided to hire a dog walker so our pup could be comfortable at home, and so we could be reunited same-day (rather than getting home late and then picking him up the next morning from a boarding kennel). Thanks to Yelp, we found the wonderful Trena! She immediately responded to our inquiry and came over for a consultation right away. Training began as soon as she entered our home, as she was quick to establish herself as a respected authority figure for our very friendly but poorly socialized (thanks, COVID) pup. She was generous with her time and training tips. We learned a little bit about her, which made us feel comfortable leaving her with our pup, as well as giving her access to our home. Trena has a calm energy, though is very active and athletic. We felt confident that she would easily keep up with our high-energy dog. We enjoyed our day away as our pup enjoyed his fun time with Trena. She sent us text updates when she arrived for each walk (three in total for the day) and was responsive to any questions we had throughout the day. She was also happy to do feedings and to distribute special treats and toys that we had purchased to keep our pup occupied. Upon our return, we found a happily exercised dog who slept soundly and peacefully after his busy day in the care of responsible, trustworthy, knowledgeable, fun Trena!

Check your invoices and receipts carefully if you use this business.

When confronted with the mathematical facts, the owner refused a refund and claimed it was standard pricing structure. Charging a client for unrendered days is not a matter of pricing preference--it is billing fraud.Because the business owner refuses to correct this $75 discrepancy, I am moving this matter to small claims court.

Sylvia is a Godsend, and I mean that literally! While it's too long and too personal a story to…read moreshare details here, I've spent the last several years in a family caregiving situation in which I was unable to have a social life or enjoy my hobbies due to balancing full-time work and caregiving. Recently, I've been trying to reclaim some time for myself, but now I have two senior dogs with medical conditions to look after, and this alone makes it challenging to go out. Sylvia has made it possible for me to do so, thereby basically saving my mental health, haha. Every pet parent wants someone truly reliable whom they can trust, and Sylvia is absolutely that kind of person. She is not just genuinely knowledgeable and experienced, she is also just a kind, wonderful person who is easy to work with. I can't express how reassuring it feels to be out doing something you enjoy, but then also partly worried about your furry friends, and then to get a text update from Sylvia with photos (like the ones attached here) showing your beloved pets fed, medicated, and resting peacefully. I can't recommend Sylvia's services enough, but I also don't want you to book her too often because that's exactly what *I* want to do! LOL

Thank you for your patience, kindness, and amazing pet knowledge, Sylvia!

I love that they all are genuinely kind to our pups and leave the sweetest pics and comments about them. My husband and I are really busy with work and PBF always accommodates our schedule and do what they can to make sure our needs are addressed. We recently also had a baby in the last year and pbf has helped accommodate us as we move into our next chapter of having kids. Even when we had to go to the hospital when the baby came, the owner helped us schedule the pups walks and transportation to our pet boarding facility. They are simply great and amazing and I never worry about our pups and trust each and everyone of the walkers in my household. I highly recommend them.

If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur-kids, I highly recommend Snuggle Pup Care…read more I've been using their services for several months now and can't recommend them enough. The prices are reasonable, they're incredibly reliable, and they take great care of our pets. We were out to town over the Christmas holiday and my dog developed some stomach issues. Our pet sitter made special food for her, took her to the vet, and kept me updated the entire time. (My dog is much better now). They also cleaned up some pet messes and opened the windows to air out our place. These extra touches signify their dedication to providing pets and their owners with excellent service. As other reviewers have noted, they use an app that keeps you updated via emails and text and includes pictures of your pets. You can use the app to respond to them as well. There are three sitters in the team, Cassie, Mike, and Jen and they're all fantastic.
