She turned out to be super reliable, trustworthy and a great communicator! We could not have been happier with her service. She came and took care of our cat, watered our plants and brought packages in for me. Jenny communicated with us the whole way through via text messages. It was quite a relief knowing someone was there and that our cat was being well cared for. We came home to a very happy kitty! I can't recommend her enough. We will definitely be using her services in the future. Thanks again Jenny!! UPDATE: We used Jenny again! (June 2016) Absolutely perfect! We have a new pet lizard that we asked her to take care of this time. She did fantastic! She fed her mealworms, changed bedding and sprayed her moist hide for us. We again came home to a happy cat and lizard. We forgot to put our mail on hold and realized our mistake just before walking out the door to leave for our trip. We left the mailbox key on the counter and I texted Jenny to see if she could take care of it for us. We came home to all of our mail neatly stacked on the table. She handled everything professionally! We love her!

Thought I would give a review since I've had Megan as my dog walker for roughly around 9 years now…read more Just goes to show how much we love her so much; we want to keep her as our own little secret! I found Megan when we had Flexo at the time. I looked everywhere for a specific type of walker. Our boy was a rescue with a rough background. He was reactive to dogs while on leash and took time to trust strangers. I definitely wanted a dog savvy walker! One who has a background in training and tough pups like ours. Since day one, I remember coming back from work and noticing our boy feeling a little more relaxed. Not as pent up or stressed. I quickly realized how much he needed this! Whatever his situation was before, I wanted to give him a better one, an upgrade. Megan helped me with that. She was very professional, confident, and worked with our boy during her walks. He eventually loosened up to her and her little girls and it was so great to hear how much he improved over time. Flexo has since passed, but we adopted another rescue, Brody. We had him at 7 months old and, although was the complete opposite of Flexo, his puppy stage proved to be quite the whirlwind, to say the least! While we did our part in training, Megan did her part with socializing and walking. He was a little ball of energy, but now at 3 yrs old, has since calmed down and is the best boy. He loves Megan and her pack (both humans and dogs)! She also does boarding and daycare. Another plus, she is very flexible! There are often times I've had to cancel last minute because I worked from home during the pandemic, and it was no issue. She also updates by leaving a message in a little notepad she provided. There are so many positives, I can't say enough how much we love having Megan as our walker. I only hope, if there comes a time when we have to move away, we can find someone just like her. She's definitely set the standard for who I want in a professional walker!

Megan and Marla are incredible! They are basically family at this point…read more After making a very late decision to visit family over the holidays, I desperately needed to find someone I could trust to take care of my dog, Wilson. I didn't want to leave him somewhere he would end up in a cage all night and most of the day. Fortunately, I found the Balanced Pack. Wilson stayed with Marla and her family during the 6 days I was gone. As any dog owner knows, a lot of stress accompanies leaving a dog with someone else for an extended period of time - even with friends. That was not the case with the Balanced Pack. I received regular updates and daily photos of a very happy Wilson. Further, it was so nice knowing that Wilson was with people who cared about him and had plenty of playtime with his canine buddies. The only concern was that I'd have to drag him back home ;-) Since then, I have used the Balanced Pack for day boarding on a regular basis. Megan picks him up every morning on time and then drops him off around 5:30pm and feeds him dinner. He is so excited when I tell him in the morning that Megan & Marla are coming. And it is amazing to come home from work and find your dog both exercised and fed. And I do mean it - Wilson has tons of energy and on days when Megan has him, he is worn out when I get home! That says something. The bottom line is that Megan and Marla are awesome. They will treat your dogs with love and care. And you will notice an extra gleam in your pet's eyes after a fun day with the Balanced Pack.

If you are looking for a great animal care giver who actually cares she's your girl! I recommend her 100%

My husband and I hired Gina to help train our dog in our home on a couple of separate occasions…read more She helped us potty train our new rescue dog, Fozzie Bear, on command and to use the dog run and dog door so he would go outside and relieve himself independently. He is now 100% house training I am happy to say! Gina is incredibly experienced, friendly and affordable. She made herself available to us after the training sessions and would quickly respond to our many questions. When we brought home our new rescue cat (who was quite shy and scared from his shelter experience), Gina helped us navigate these first few days of their new lives together as this can be a tricky time. As a result, the cat and dog are now best friends and play constantly! We will be calling on Gina for future training. My husband and I highly recommend her and can't say enough good things!

You, your dog and Gina work as a team with stellar results. Harry absolutely loves her as do I. I have had many trainers in the past with other dogs, and Gina is without a doubt the BEST!

The staff here was always so helpful and quick to respond throughout the whole process. From the start, I was able to call a week in advance and get information, and when I realized I couldn't book online the day before, they were able to assist and get me in with no problem. Communication was top notch. On top of that, I don't board my dog often because he can be quite nervous around new people and new dogs. However, they were so reassuring the entire time. They sent me an update and a photo in the middle of the day to settle my nerves. When I went to pick him up, he was resting so comfortably next to them. The next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely be using their services again! Thank you Staycation for Dogs!
