Claudia watched my 14 year old furry best friend. She is very kind and gentle with pets. My dog was happy to meet her and settled down next to her as if she was an old friend. The next day when he saw Claudia again he was happy to see her and had no concerns about us leaving the hotel without him. Claudia is very trustworthy and has a calming, warm demeanor. She comes to sit at the hotel and brings her lunch, a book and she took him on a walk so he could use the restroom and stretch his legs. I wish we lived closer because I would definitely have her watch my dog again. If you are visiting Cambria, and have a furry family member that needs to be watched for a few hours, Claudia is the right person for the job.

We spoke on the phone several times before our arrival in Cambria to work out details. When we arrived, Claudia gave us a tour of her home and where my dog would be on her property.

When we returned he was happy and did not seem to have undergone any stress. We were very happy with Claudia and I would not hesitate to use her once again.

I recently hired Linda while surfing at Pismo Beach. Initially I was a little nervous as I wasn't…read morefrom the area. However, my fears were soon set aside as Linda took my dog while I removed my board from my car and began putting on my wetsuit. Without me saying a word, she suggested walking my dog within eyeshot. Little by little, I started feeling more confident and was able to relax. Her suggestion of remaining close helped my dog to feel less worried as well as the yummy treats she fed her. What I found most remarkable about Linda was her flexibility. Like an expert surfer, she navigated the situation with ease, rootling through her trunk for a towel when I forgot one, finding water for my dog when she got thirsty, and safeguarding my car keys when I was in the water. All this while a wildfire was causing evacuations within a county of her house! Vacationing as a single person with a Border Collie is not without its challenges; thanks to Linda, I was in a better position to meet those challenges and have fun.

We were able to find a replacement LED necklace for our dog to wear at night after forgetting to pack ours. They also had some adorable clothes, including the cutest little sailor dress! All of the prices were clearly marked and we let her shop around to look for toys and treats. We will definitely stop in here anytime we are in the area and if you're with your pup or have a dog you want to shop for, this is the place!

Let me start off by saying, it's TRUE when they say "Sasha is literally a dog whisperer". He absolutely knows what he's doing. Prior to meeting Sasha, my puppy (Karter) was biting everyone that came to my house and peeing all over the place and I was ready to give him away. I google searched "local dog trainers" and came across the Bark website. Of the handful of listed trainers Sasha was the only one to get back to me and when I researched him I noticed he had a TON of positive reviews. So many that I actually joked with him and mentioned that I thought they were all of his friends. LOL Now I understand why. When I spoke with Sasha I expressed my concerns with Karter and he immediately began to give me tips on how to correct some of the behaviors that Karter needed help with and although I didn't actually use any of the tips I appreciated that he did that free of charge. My idea of "dog training" was someone coming to my house a few times a week and training my dog to do everything I needed him to do, so, when Sasha said "most times he only has to come once and the rest can be done over the phone" I was like there's NO WAY this dude knows what he's doing. In my eyes Karter needed 24 hour assistance. When Sasha arrived he immediately got to work. He stayed for a couple hours and it went by pretty fast. He taught me how to implement walking Karter "off leash", teaching Karter discipline during feeding time and basic tips on potty training as well as creating boundaries which would affect how he interacts with guests when they come over. He also brought in his own pets which was nice because it showed me how Karter would respond to other animals. His training style is so simple yet extremely effective when you do what he recommends and that is to be consistent. I had a couple serious life events that took place after he came and I wasn't able to keep up with the training and I could see the difference. I have since gotten back on schedule with Karter and he has learned to use the dog door to go potty and hasn't had any accidents in the house for a few weeks. I can walk with him off leash and he has learned boundaries and space when company is over! All of the things Sasha told me to do worked. When he says get a 15 foot leash get the 15 foot leash. Don't take the easier route just do exactly what he recommends because he knows what he's talking about. This is my first dog and I'm a much happier dog mom because of the service I received from Sasha. I waited to post the review because I wanted to give Karter time to show improvement and make sure I was giving an honest review and honestly... he is the BEST! Worth every penny. I could go on but I'll let you see for yourself! Thanks Sasha and also your lovely wife. You guys are an awesome team!
