My dog has been with Happy Go Lucky for four years, and in that time Paula has shown nothing but genuine love and care for every dog in her pack and you can tell they adore her right back. Since joining Paula's walks, my dog has gained confidence on the trail, improved training skills, and become a happier, healthier pup overall. She gets great exercise, socialization, and plenty of positive stimulation. Seeing Paula and her pack of furry friends is truly one of the highlights of my dog's day. Not only is Paula wonderful with the dogs, she's also incredibly professional, organized, and communicative. A clear, hard-working person you can always depend on. She truly does it all and does it so well. I wholeheartedly recommend Happy Go Lucky Pet Care for your pet care needs. There's no one else I trust more with my pup!

They've had so much…read morepatience working with my little 12 lb poodle mix who is very anxious and afraid of her own shadow except when she's in our apartment then becomes very territorial (think reactive barking like she's freaking out). Background: We've tried dog daycares for Evie from when she was only a few months old (Just Pet Me in Oakland, Metro Dog in Richmond and Camp Bow Wow in Concord). Unfortunately, socializing her this way did not help. We stopped taking her altogether when she was about a year old because when we were able to monitor her via a cam, we saw that she was a little wall flower, refusing to socialize with the other dogs. They'd often crate her as well because of this. We were nervous that this was making her more reactive or anxious. Working with Gabby: To get connected with Gabby was easy. My partner reached out and she was really fast with responding and setting up a meet and greet. We were very nervous and thought Evie might do terribly for the meet and greet because she's very territorial with our apartment. And of course, that's exactly what happened. When Gabby came over, Evie was very unfriendly, barking and freaking out whenever Gabby made any movements. Gabby was very patient with her and decided to do a test run and walk her around our complex. Evie was fine when she was on the actual walk. While Evie is still scared of her own shadow and learning to socialize, we've seen her make some progress specifically outside. Typically, she gets scared and barks when people say hi to her. I've noticed there's a little less of that now. In addition, Gabby is really thoughtful in how she creates packs. She matches based on temperament and tries to meet your dog's needs as best as she can. Evie, for instance, is a little wary around highly energetic pups but does well with lower energy dogs or older dogs. Gabby factored all of this in when creating a pack that would work. Since the service is set up to pick up Evie, it's very convenient. In addition, Gabby's team members have all been very patient with Evie and her quirks and are able to successfully pick her up. Evie has slowly been adjusting to them which has been great as we try to widen her social circle. This is a great service for anyone looking to socialize their dog in a healthy, thoughtful way.

If anything comes up, Gabby is always extremely responsive and addresses issues immediately (though issues have been really rare). Overall, we highly recommend Fit Dog Theory.

He also has a really great backup cat sitter in case he's ever traveling, and he's also very good and reliable. They've come through in a pinch when we had to make last minute travel plans, and we were so relieved to know we didn't have to worry about our girl!

Finding Robyn, the owner of Gentle Genes Pet Care, has been an absolute game changer for us. Our…read morelittle Shih Tzu-Poodle mix has always been terrified of groomers -- shaking, crying, and clearly stressed the entire time. It broke our hearts. From the very first visit with Robyn, everything changed. She provides a truly personalized, calm, and loving experience. Our pup is never locked in a kennel or stuck in a loud room full of dogs while waiting for her appointment or pickup. Instead, she's cared for in a peaceful environment where she feels safe. Robyn's patience, gentleness, and genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does. We can finally take our dog to the groomer without anxiety -- and that alone is priceless. If you have a sensitive or nervous pet, I truly can't recommend Gentle Genes Pet Care enough.

This place is absolutely unacceptable, and I regret ever trusting them with my dog…read more Even two years later, I still feel strongly enough to warn others. After I left an honest review about my experience, they responded by threatening to sue both me and a rescue I volunteered with at the time. That alone should raise serious concerns about how they handle accountability. I visited daily for the entire month my dog was there, so what I'm saying is based on what I personally saw over and over again--not a one-time impression. Their "training" methods included physically poking dogs in the side and neck. The dogs did not appear to be properly fed and did not have consistent access to water. Over that month, I watched dogs lose weight, become withdrawn, and show clear signs of stress and shutdown behavior. I also personally saw a dog who was extremely underweight, had visible sores, and smelled strongly of urine and feces, as if she had been left sitting in it. No dog should ever be in that condition--especially in a place people are paying to care for and train their animals. It honestly concerns me that they still have positive reviews, because in my experience, the longer a dog stays there, the more concerning the changes become. I'm posting this again now because someone I know recently considered bringing a foster dog there. I made it very clear that no dog in my care will ever go anywhere near this place. If you care about your dog, do your research, ask questions, and trust what you see. I would strongly urge anyone considering this facility to visit frequently and unannounced.

We told them that we would muzzle her before they would take them and she should be fine. The font desk, maybe the manager, said putting a muzzle on her before taking her would not be needed and would not listen to me about letting me muzzle her. Sure enough when they went to muzzle her she was scared and acted aggressively towards them. They called me back after having them for less than 10 minutes to pick them up. These people think they know everything about how to handle all dogs and will not listen to you. It was a waste of time even talking to them. They do not know what they are doing and will only take easy dogs to deal with.
