He started with them four years ago in a two‑week board‑and‑train program as a very young dog, and the time they spent getting to know who he is -- and teaching me how to support him -- was absolutely priceless. Because of their help and guidance, Charlie is his absolute best self today. He still goes to daycare, and it's one of the highlights of his week. He knows the routine before we even leave the house, and he can't wait to hop in the car. And when I travel, boarding him with Peaceful Pets Play and Stay is completely worry‑free. I know he's safe, happy, and treated like family every single time. Five stars without hesitation from this long‑time client -- both the human and the dog!

My senior dog was gently cared for and treated like the little princess she knows she is. And my big Shep got to board and have a dog vacation--she is currently crashed out having a tail wagging dream, so I think she loved it!

This arrangement was especially for my dog that is a rescued who gets nervous around new environment. Stay & Play was the perfect arrangement I have done for her. Mary texted me everyday about their days/walks and asked if she had any concern about their well being. When I came home, I found my both dogs were well taken care of and seemed to be very relaxed. I will have Mary to take care of them again and can recommend her service without any hesitance.

I recommend Mary to anyone needing care for their animal.

Drew has been such an amazing cat caregiver for my crew of fuzzballs for the past several years…read morethat I've decided I can never move out of the area. If you're looking for someone with a genuine love of and connection to cats, who is very experienced with cat behavior and health issues, and who is supremely trustworthy and reliable - look no further than Drew. Before I met Drew I spent so much time on Yelp contacting other pet sitters in the area and they all seemed like they were mostly dog-oriented and just tolerated cats and would be only dropping by to make sure my cats were alive. Then I contacted Drew and I knew right away she was special - she actually adores cats and her primary concern is getting to know your cats' individual needs and quirks and providing the best comprehensive care possible while putting your mind at ease with daily checks-ins and photos. (She also owns a photography business and you can hire her for an epic pet photo session!) Drew regularly takes care of my guys, whether I'm busy for one day or away for a longer trip. Under anyone else's care, I'd worry about their individual dietary and behavioral needs - I have a picky older cat with anxiety and urinary issues, a goofy black cat with a sensitive tummy and a history of eating inedible objects and getting the occasional ear infection, and a young, spunky one-eyed cat who once had an injured leg. Not only has Drew gotten to know each of their personalities and connected with them like they're her own pets (they greet her at the door), she has expertly attended to their occasional extra needs and has on multiple occasions taken the time to talk me through my concerns about their issues. In addition to being a cat owner herself, Drew has experience working at clinics and rescues and volunteers her time at a cat sanctuary so I thoroughly trust her input and consider her a valued care companion and part of our pet family. My cats (and I) absolutely adore Drew and there's just no better feeling when you're away than total peace of mind that your fur family is receiving the best possible care. 5 stars, 10/10. Thank you, Drew!

We recently booked with Lucky Buddy Petcare for a vacation and am glad we gave them a chance!…read more We first met the owner Janet and loved her vibe. My main concern was our dogs not being comfortable with the rotation of different pet sitters, so I expressed that concern with Janet and figured out a plan to prepare our dogs. We ended up booking walks for our dogs to meet with the different sitters they may encounter during our vacation. Each walker/sitter we met was equally friendly and our three German shepherds had no issue with either one of them. We received reports after each visit, which we appreciated. What I do appreciate most about Lucky Buddy Petcare is that we're not dependent on one person's schedule while planning. The booking process is super easy through their website. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a pet sitting company!

I am grateful to have found Janet and her team to walk and stay overnight with my smart, loving and rambunctious Aussie, Jake. Jake loved his walks and especially enjoyed his time with Janet and Kathleen when they stayed with him when I went on my first trip in years because I would not board him. I told my friends I thought he was two-timing me because he was so happy and relaxed when I arrived home. I also had a dog walker come every day at Janet's suggestion while I was away and I truly appreciate the time and care these young women gave to Jake during that time and his regular walks. Sadly, Jake is no longer with me. He was only six years old but he had a medical condition that was lurking, unknown and undiagnosed until it suddenly appeared shattering my world. My first call was to my friend, a retired vet, who told me the likely diagnoses. My second call was to Janet who told me where the best ER animal hospital was located and provided additional emotional support. Janet continued to reach out and check to see if I was alright after I had to make a pet owner's most dreaded decision. She is not kidding in her business info when she says she will be there for you.

I needed to board my cats for a couple of days and felt very anxious, as one of my kitties is very…read morefear-aggressive and anxious. I called Pat's and the person I spoke with displayed great patience with all my questions, answering each one without getting annoyed or frustrated with me (I say this because I had a LOT of questions/concerns). They offer a wide variety of lodging options from cat condos (both with and without windows, suites, etc.) and have reasonable pricing. They require proof of current rabies and FVRCP vaccinations, which helped ease my mind from a safety perspective. They also had a very detailed questionnaire, which included pet's names, description, age, etc, as well as pet's personality, likes/dislikes, what treats were okay to feed, etc. They clearly tried to get as much information about the cats to help make the cats' stay as stress-free and pleasurable as possible. I chose to bring some toys, treats, food, and fleece blankets from home, which is allowed but not required. From the moment I dropped them off, I knew my babies were in great hands. The lady who helped settled the cats in had so much patience and care when getting each one out of the carrier and into their condos. My very fearful one, especially, she took time with---no rushing them (or me) out the door. Once we got them settled in, they provided some treats and respected where each cat was (one accepted pets, one did not---my anxious one hid in the little hiding house they had in each condo. Staff accepts the cats where they are and allows the cat to determine next steps, interactions, etc. outside of the required feeding, litter box cleaning, water, etc. They also will put up "privacy screens" for especially anxious kitties, when warranted. The facility also has a catio that has a view to the outdoors, as well as an inside area with a lot of kitty enrichment, like scratching/climbing posts/trees, toys, a water fountain, etc. They specifically ask if you are okay with your cat going into those areas (for me, I was fine, but suspected one of my cats would not choose to do that. The other one did, and when I came to pick them up, was roaming freely and having a blast playing with toys and climbing things. They take the time to really get to know your pets and their personalities and then work with them individually. When I picked up my cats, my very anxious one actually allowed one of the staff members to pet her and she came out of the hidey house for both of us! That is incredible with this particular cat and I could tell staff must have been very patient and kind to her to get her to that point. They gave me updates/summaries of each cat's stay, how they ate, what they did, etc., which I appreciated. If you need to board your cats and know they will be safe and well cared for, there's no better place than Pat's! I would give them more than five stars if I could! Highly recommend!

When we picked him up, he even left with a parting gift--a banana filled with catnip that he's currently wrestling with at home! We're so grateful for their kindness and flexibility.

They use positive reinforcement for their training method. Midtown Mutts also offers dog walking, 1:1 sessions and pet sitting. My neighbor uses them for pet sitting and she loves them. You pay based on how many visits and the length of time you want them to stay. They take pictures everyday they visit to show you how your pet was that day. Pros: they have a membership and you can choose 1 or 5 classes a month. These classes don't roll over if you don't use them - I made the mistake of thinking they do. They have a calendar where it lists the classes, time and topic. The calendar is a bit clunky and confusing so it takes a bit to figure out how to navigate. If they don't have too many people sign up and you need help in a certain area, they accommodate your request. They have answered my numerous questions and been very patient. I can say my puppy REALLY enjoyed class because he was showered with treats also as a lab, he never turns food down! Cons: if there is a large class and the gym in the same business structure is busy, parking can be a bit hard to find.
