She not only fed Willow, but hung out with her and sent us updates on the Time to Pet app every day! With pictures! Willow hates everyone and she really warmed to Christie. I used to be one of those people who just got a friend to drop in and feed the cat and didn't think a pet sitter was necessary. Now, I will never go back. It was a huge load off my mind to know I had a professional on the job. Christie is a total animal person who obviously loves her job--and it shows in the professionalism of her service.

Anyone with a dog knows how hard it can be to trust someone else with your fur-kid - whether for…read morethe day, or for boarding. We had previously only ever boarded with our vet, but more often had our dogs stay with friends/family when the need arose. Working from/being home so much during COVID led us all to become a little...stir crazy, and we noticed this change of routine especially affected our one-year old GSD mix. We were especially worried that she would end up with separation anxiety once workweek schedules went back to normal, so I decided to look into daycare for her. I researched and read all the reviews I could find, spoke with friends, friends of friends, etc. but the decision to fill out the Dog Meadow info request form was solidified when I mentioned to a highly respected groomer that I was looking into DM and she responded that it was was the absolute best daycare, and to get Charlie in with them if we could. Charlie has been at daycare regularly for about 4-5 months now, and has boarded overnight as well. We are SO impressed with DM - the care, attention, hard work, and professionalism of Kleber, Laura, and DM overall is just beyond incredible. They take the time to get to know each dog's personality, temperament, and nuances. Being so young, Charlie hadn't had an opportunity to get much socialization prior to COVID and to help with this, Kleber recommended her daycare schedule based on other dogs he believed she would best get along with. He's been flexible and accommodating with us in the event we need to make schedule changes, and always gives us helpful feedback on Charlie. Dog Meadow is like a dog's dream retreat. The facility/grounds are incredible - we didn't want anywhere that our dog would be stuck in a crate and only taken out at specified times (like when boarding at the vet). If I were a dog, Dog Meadow would be where I wanted to play. There's lots of safe, fenced-in land, as well as indoor space that includes cozy couches and places to relax for the dogs during nap/rest/indoor time. The dogs are supervised at all times and stimulated with opportunities for agility and general free-play. They will play with and literally treat your dog with love and attention like their own! Sometimes we think Charlie might even love them more than us . I think I was as "mom-ish" dropping Charlie off the first day, as I was when I sent my human kid to school for the first time. But, Kleber & Laura are super knowledgeable and are truly experts at "leading the pack." They are also just genuinely good people and we know Charlie is in the best care. She now gets excited to go on daycare days, and is a happily exhausted pup when we pick her up. She's developing better social skills, leash skills, and listening skills (which we credit to Dog Meadow). There're just about a million more "little things" with DM that make you know you & your dog are valued to them, too. We really can't say enough good things about Dog Meadow and of being able to send Charlie there.

I can't recommend Nancy at Know Your Dog Training highly enough…read more After doing extensive research to find the right trainer, I'm so glad I found Nancy. From the beginning it was clear that she has a deep understanding of dogs and brings a calm, confident, and professional approach to everything she does. My dog Kane completed a training program with her, and I was extremely impressed with the experience and the results. Nancy takes the time to truly understand each dog and provides the kind of structure, guidance, and consistency that helps dogs thrive. Since then, Nancy has also become my trusted go-to whenever I travel. Knowing Kane is in her care gives me tremendous peace of mind. He always comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. What really sets Nancy apart is the level of attention and personalization she provides. This isn't a typical boarding situation -- she genuinely gets to know the dogs she works with and creates a thoughtful, structured environment for them. Nancy is trustworthy, caring, extremely knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what she does. I'm very grateful I found her and would recommend Know Your Dog Training without hesitation to anyone looking for a skilled trainer or a safe, reliable place for their dog while they're away.

Having a city dog isn't easy -- our 4-year-old Wheaten Terrier (female) has tons of energy, a stubborn streak, and some anxiety and reactivity issues around other dogs. We were looking for help with leash training and overall confidence, and Nancy was the perfect fit. From the very first interaction, Nancy was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She clearly loves what she does and cares deeply about every dog she works with. I enrolled our pup in a month-long board-and-train program while I was getting married, and Nancy made the experience completely stress-free. She stayed in constant communication, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that showed the progress and the specific behaviors being worked on -- plus advice for us as owners to reinforce at home. When our dog came back, the difference was night and day. She's calmer, more responsive, and walks beautifully on a leash with far fewer distractions. Her reactivity around other dogs has improved dramatically, and she seems much more confident overall. Even after the program ended, Nancy went above and beyond -- she included additional follow-up lessons at no cost and still checks in to see how things are going. Her board-and-train setup is amazing too: the dogs aren't kept in kennels but get to enjoy the outdoors, sunshine, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I can't recommend Know Your Dog and Nancy enough for anyone looking for dog training, board-and-train programs, or boarding with a personal touch. Nancy truly changed our dog's behavior -- and our lives -- for the better.
