I have so many selfish reasons to not share this review and make Kim even more busy than she…read morealready is. But my goodness! She is a miracle worker. She took our sweet, shy, overly anxious little pup and made him feel at home within a short son of three weeks (2-3 times exposure for day care) before we let him stay overnight. She has been a godsend and I know that I can rest easy when our little fur baby is in her good hands.

When I used this service: March 1-5 Why I chose Bowser's: I…read moredid 1-2 hours of research: Yelp reviews, calling friends from the dog park/other contacts, etc., and Kim always came highly recommended. Matt from Pawfection told me he refers all his clients to her who are looking for longer pet sitting, and no one has come back disappointed. Overall impression: I cannot speak more highly of Kimberley and Bowser's Buddy Pet Care! She was extremely professional and accommodating and made me feel like part of the Bowser's family from day one! More details: Kimberley is the epitome of professionalism. I really appreciated how she: - validated my sad feelings that I couldn't take him on the trip - had me over the weekend before my trip to see her space and meet the other dogs she was currently taking care of - was in constant contact about times/dates and how my dog Reeses was doing while I was gone - communicated (quickly) with me whenever I sent her a text message or gave her a call - loves my dog like her own (and he loves her back!) Pro-tip: Kim's place is dog HEAVEN. Very dog-friendly and lots of things to keep them entertained and comfortable: doggy door, fenced-in grassy yard, orthopedic beds, etc. etc. She doesn't give discounts, but it's totally worth the price, and that's coming from a med student in tons of debt currently!

When I had cancer and needed extra help, Jen made me feel like she had me covered. Linus has liked every one of his walkers over the years, and I've trusted them all with my dog.

I never worry when Gus and Granger are out with Jen and her team; they take care of our babies like they're their own. I appreciate the communication and flexibility that Jen provides.

I feel so thankful to have found Jen and her team. I would recommend them to anyone looking for someone to help get their dogs out!

We had our puppy for about a year before we came to the conclusion that how we trained our other…read moredog was just not working for the puppy. In came Radiant K9. Right from the consultation, Octavia was friendly and reassuring and helped us understand that our dog was just a little special to no fault of our own. After discussing our concerns, what we hoped to get out of training, and our schedules we opted for the 24 session home and train package. Given mine and my bf's work schedule, we initially thought we would only attend a few sessions a week and have Octavia work with our puppy for a majority of the time. However, that quickly changed and Octavia worked with me and my literally ridiculous work schedule to make sure we found something that worked for all of us. Working with Octavia made us realize the training is as much for the dog as it is for the human. She didn't push any strict rules that I've seen other trainers mention, such as not allowing the dogs on furniture, and really factored in what would be practical in our lives as dog parents and what we wanted. As with all things, it takes time to find out what works best for each dog. Octavia was very patient in explaining and walking us through everything. She was always open for questions and answering whatever concerns I had about my dog even if it wasn't directly related to our training session. It's been almost a year and finding Octavia as a trainer has been the best thing that could happen to our family. What other trainer could you find that will shed tears with you from seeing your dog go from being unable to walk without tugging on a leash, to being able to walk at a heel off leash in just a few weeks (with still plenty of sessions to go!). Not only does she care and love our dog that she trains, she also extends that warmest to our other dog. The sound of her name makes both of our dogs perk up and want to run down the hall to greet her at the other end. Highly recommend!

Kirsten has been our savior and has helped us tackle these issues to a large extent within a span of 4-6 weeks. She is flexible with scheduling training hours and came over to our place multiple times to witness and correct bad behavior. She helped us slowly introduce him to the prong collar. It has been so effective and our pup is now clearly more confident and we are able to communicate more effectively with him. We are really thankful to Kirsten for helping us with Sunny. Highly recommend!!

Shawn is amazing and one can tell she has a passion and love for animals. On our meet and greet,…read more she went down to the ground to be eye level with my cat and pet him the moment she walked through the door and saw him. I went on a 2 week vacation and she made sure my cat was doing well. Visited every day, petted and played with him, cleaned the litter, took out the trash, watered my plants, and updated me daily. She went above & beyond and even offered to buy more cat toys for my cat. She is also very transparent about costs, sent me her business license when asked and is a lovely person to talk to. Would definitely reccomend her.

As a helicopter pet mom who was nervous about pet sitters for a long time (especially after hearing…read moretoo many stories about Rover)... I cannot recommend Shawn enough. It was my first time seeking a cat sitter, and I completely lucked out when Shawn got back to me right away (after I had sent inquiries to multiple parties). From the get-go, Shawn was responsive and professional. She promptly shared her business license info, insurance info, and references with me - which nobody else had bothered to do. And she was so warm when we met in person, for our initial meet-and-greet. It's clear that she loves the animals she cares for, coming from a fellow animal lover. My kitty warmed up to Shawn much faster than she normally warms up to anyone (?!) - a testament to her character, given that my kitty suffers from plenty of "stranger danger"! Shawn sent plenty of updates and photos, was always a text message away, and allowed us to enjoy our trip with zero worry. Kitty was completely relaxed when we came home, even though it was her first time being alone for multiple days. I'm so happy knowing that we can lean on Shawn for any future trips we take. I completely trust her with my fur-babies and my home.

I have used 4 Paws for about a year, and I have received quality service every time. Danielle, Bianca, and Tiffany pay extra attention to feeding instructions. I love their "right at home" philosophy that works great for my indoor pups. We tried the other large business pup boarding warehouses, which subjected our Schmoogies and Mae Mae to cold concrete walls and floors, and limited daylight. They would often return to us shaking and anxious. I don't have to worry about that with 4 Paws. Our babies return to us smiling, relaxed, rejuvenated, as if we never spent a day apart.

I have 5 cats and a dog and have no worry leaving them with Catalina for weeks at a time, due to work. I personally recommend them to anyone looking for not just care for their animals but the peace of mind that they pets will be loved and cared for. Additionally, and perhaps equally as important, Catalina is a great communicator and leaves you with no concern about what's happening back home when you're away. I love working with her and am truly grateful to have found such a good pet sitter.
