I called another service (Dallas and Pals) but they were full, and recommended Zak. I'm so glad it worked out that way! Zak came over the next evening, met my lab and interviewed me about my dog-- what she likes, what she hates, her bad habits (oh yes, I think all pets have at least one) and then went over the pricing and daily schedule with me. Since then, my dog has been a "regular" with Crazy Misfits. Zak comes over during the day, picks up my dog for a couple of hours of "play time," and has been super-accommodating about special requests or an occasional "REALLY late day." My dog loves him- she bounces when she sees him. The billing is twice monthly, and you can pay online as well as directly by check. Zak is very approachable-- I appreciate I can contact him by text. I have nothing but good things to say-- knowing that my dog has been able to get out and play with her Crazy Misfits friends helps me feel less like a horrible owner for having to work so much (but that's how we bring home the kibble.)

We have used Janice's service 19 times since April 2021 to take care of our cats when we are…read moretraveling. They are reliable and treat our cats well. We have video monitors in our home and we watch their visits sometimes. They talk to the cats and brush them and generally treat our pets as we would treat them ourselves. We usually pay them in advance using Zelle although they have other payment arrangements. They refill the water fountain and the automatic cat feeder and cleaned the litter box before we bought a Litter Robot. They are familiar with this machine and know how to change the catch bag in the tray. One of our cats requires a medication and they take care of that as well. We used to live less than 1/4 mile from their home but in April 2023, we moved to Des Moines, WA. That was still within their coverage area so they continue to help us. Very satisfied.

We didn't just fix the "aggression issues", but with Christy's help we were able to completely rehabilitate our girls, our relationship with them and truly feel confident that we handle *any* situation.

Christy works to understand symptoms and how to speak to your dog like a dog to get the most positive behavior out of them. We'd highly recommend her. She's reliable, smart, patient, and effective. Our dog's behavior changed immediately and we have continued to see improvements months later.

He's not the easiest pup to win over, but once you're in his circle, you're in for life -- and the team at Dallas and Pals definitely made the cut.

The staff treat both of them like family, and I always know they'll come home tired, happy, and full of tail wags. We're so grateful for the care, fun, and love they get every time.

After our local training place closed we were looking for other options and committed to positive reinforcement training.

Julia did a 2 week board & train with our dog while we were traveling, mainly focusing on leash skills and practicing calm behavior around exciting things. We noticed an immediate improvement, but have also been continuing to work on the training at home after our follow up. I'm happy to report that we are continuing to see improvement using Julia's methods.

She clearly has a passion for animals, evident in the way she interacts with every pet, and her past experience. From the first time we met and she came to our home to familiarize herself with our pets and their routines and medications, I was impressed with her attention to detail and her ability to connect with our animals. Every day she comes to care for them we receive an update text and picture of each one, assuring us that she has eyes on everyone and they're all doing well! It's such a relief to leave for vacation knowing that our fur babies are in such loving and capable hands. Heather administers medications, keeps an eye on any changes in behavior or bodily functions, and is a joy to work with.

We got pictures and videos that let us know they were safe, entertained, and having fun. She went above and beyond in every way to care for our kids while we were in vacation. When they got stir crazy, she took them for a car ride. When they were bored, she played fetch or tug with them. She even brought them treats like their first Puppicino. The real review that matters is how my pups behaved when I got home. Normally when I go to the boarders, they are clearly stressed when they are brought from their kennels. The superstore chain is the worst. They bark and whine like they've been stuck there for years. Under Brittany's care, it was nothing but licks and tail wags!
