You are given the pricing up front. The price we paid was quite reasonable, especially considering it's a licensed, insured, and bonded business with employees, vs random independent contractors. 2 different gals came to our house to care for our cats while we were gone - Amy and Payton. Both were prompt and took good care of our cats. Amy was exceptionally kind and stayed longer than she was booked for - just to play with our cats! We really appreciated this, since it was our first night away and I know our cats were feeling anxious. It was such a relief to have a business available to us to come to our house to take care of our animals! While I'm sure there are tons of great pet sitters on the various 3rd party pet sitting sites , we would've been too nervous. Being able to hire a business to send people to our house was a big relief! We will absolutely be using them again in the future.

She does pet sitting herself, but also set me up with a pet sitter in another town when I'm in that area. I was impressed with her contracted sitter during our meet and greet. When a last minute need for sitting in Placerville arose, I contacted Tamara and she was able to accomodate my request. Upon arrival I noticed that the facility was very well organized, safe and set up for multiple dogs. I noted that she is extremely experienced with dogs and well versed in behavior. She is very personable and walked me around and explained how her boarding works and the different areas for the dogs. Tamara made me very comfortable leaving my pet while I ran errands for the day. The facility is set up very well for overnight boarding too. My dog had a great time at Happy Tails with Tamara's Great Dane and other guests. I would definitely return. I also had the opportunity to leave my dog with Cheryl in Folsom and had a very positive experience. I appreciate the fact that Happy Tails is licensed and insured. Highly recommended.

I've had bulldogs in the past and had no problem with their training. Of course they were stubborn, but they were obedient. Bowie is a wild, active and very athletic energetic bulldog (not what anyone would expect from a bulldog). When we met Karen, he was pulling me through the park, had no interest in me or any respect for boundaries. I couldn't leave him alone without him barking continuously, had to leash him the whole time around my nieces and nephews. I was completely stressed and defeated. I was failing this innocent dog. Karen and I discussed a plan and agreed upon weekly sessions. It wasn't easy but it was 10000% worth it. After multiple sessions, some boarding and time put in "at home", he walks very well on leash, can even be trusted to be off leash in familiar areas, comes when called, sits, downs(with treats), stays, goes to his "place", can be crated without an issue, and most importantly can be around my nieces and nephews without worry! My elderly mom can walk him on her own, he's even patient with her going up and down stairs. I leave him to go to work, without any issues. I bring him to restaurants, to stores, anywhere he can go he does. Thank you to Karen, her knowledge, introducing proper tools, teaching me and her encouragement, support and patience I have a complete different dog. I can whole heartedly say I have my soul dog. It is not easy to find someone you can trust and that you feel safe leaving your fur baby with. Karen gives you that peace.

ATTENTION! Do not get a Corg-potato from Amy!…read moreDo not be fooled by her wonderful smile, her obvious love for Corgis, her amazing family (kids, hubby & Corgs)! Do not believe the lies Amy will tell you about her meticulous attention to knowing, understanding and being highly selective to the lineage of all her breeding pairs. Do not think for a minute there is any truth to the things Amy will tell you about how she screens for so many different traits, conditions and genetic anomalies that can occur. She will even throw out random acronyms such as "DM", "EIC" and "VWD1" in hopes to confuse you. She will go on and on about how she follows best-known weaning and whelping practices. Amy will talk of giving the pups (and new owners) outstanding pre and post care. Amy will even go so far as to lie about how all her pups get vet checks at all the right times and show you all the resources she has on "speed dial". She has even set up a fake breeding house, complete with very expensive critical-care resources such as an incubator, oxygen generator and other resources that may be required to ensure that the pups and mother get the best care, if needed. Amy will tell you obviously fabricated stories of how she has spent days and nights camped out in the "fictitious breeding house" when her pups are due. DO NOT TAKE THE BAIT! AMY IS A SCAMMER! Amy will lure you in with pics of the cutest potato's you have ever seen. Amy will encourage you to you visit and snuggle with the litter in the weeks before she suckers you in. Then, on the day you go to pick up your Corgi, Amy, with all her sinister motivations, will at some point say in a quiet voice "You know, one Corgi is great, but two Corgi's are the best! And I think I will have another potato-patch soon." We have fallen for this scam not once, but twice! Felix (Finn & Drew) and Winston (Finn & Lulu) have ruined our lives. Judgmental side-eyes, zoom-zooms at the most inopportune times, Corgi-glitter (fur) everywhere, splooting in the most trafficked areas of the house and ALWAYS watching when one is in the kitchen. If you have failed to see the sarcasm above, hear this: Amy & Company are the best! My daughter did her homework and sought out the best breeder within a much too large radius. She landed on Amy, who at the time lived in Pasa Robles, CA. Amy had and has so many positive referrals Amy is highly educated (Cal Poly - Animal Science), very knowledgeable (10+ years as a breeder) and very well-learned in canine genetics with a strong focus on Corgis. Amy is highly selective and amazingly attentive to all her litters, pups, sires, madams and pack-mates. Amy has a wonderful personality, demeanor and openness that she has always shown to us, and I am sure she shows or will show to every customer. Felix was our first Corgi. At the time, Amy's "potato farm" was a four-hour drive from our house (Sacramento). Both ways! And of course we had to go visit, but not get to keep, the "potato-to-be-Felix" at that time. That would require a second four-hour drive (both ways!) a few weeks later! Best drives ever! If you are reading this and you are wondering if Amy and her crew are the right place to find your future splooter, STOP! You have arrived! ~Tony Marshall Fair Oaks, California P.S. Amy, THANK YOU!

He explained his training method and how he uses both reward & consequences. I signed up for his workshop immediately. Attended his workshop on 9/19/26. The presentation was fantastic and he did a great job evaluating me & my dog's disposition & drives. He offered great advice to make me a better handler for my dog. It's only been 3 days and by following his advice my dog isn't pulling and is much more engaged with me on walks. He pointed out why my dog acts like she does and gave me a gateway to working with issues. Definitely not a one & done but very effective. I will go back in 2-3 weeks to evaluate me & my dog to go to next level.
