I've been taking my lab mix to Kate's for over a year now. I absolutely love the place! Tracy, the…read moreowner, is so good at dealing with my dogs quirky personality. She likes him regardless of some things that could drive her crazy and it's nice to drop him off with someone I can trust him with! He is a jumper and can scale the privacy fence around their outdoor play area. She knows to watch out for this and keeps perfect track of him. I took my dog to Kate's before Tracy took over. Kate was still running the place and I don't have a single complaint about either owner. When Tracy came she put her personal touch on the place and it's looking really nice. I was happy when she had the floors sealed and redid some of the kennel area. It is a place run by dogs and she took the initiative to deal with this fact by doing these things. I caught myself giggling a bit at the negative reviews. I take my dog both to daycare and to Penn Dog park down the road. People complaining about their dogs smelling a bit after being around so many other dogs is a bit silly, isn't it? Every once and a while my dog will get peed on at the park. I can't imagine the silly things the dogs do to each other at daycare. They get slobber on each other and are going to play enough that yes, they might end up smelling like dogs! There was a day when Freud (my mutt) got sick at daycare and Tracy felt awful and offered to give him bath. If the other owners would have even eluded to the fact that they were upset Tracy would have jumped to fix the problem. I know this because on another day Freud's collar broke while he was playing with another dog. Tracy felt offered repeatedly to replace it. She cares!

I truly cannot say enough good things about Pet Pals KC. They care for my cat like she's their own,…read moresend lots of pictures, and detailed updates. As someone who is very nervous leaving their pet at home when I am away, Pet Pals KC puts my anxiety completely as ease. Seeing my cat cuddling, playing, and having the best time with her sitters makes my heart so happy. I also really appreciate their pricing, so reasonable and they do SO MUCH for my girl! Thank you so much, Pet Pals KC!

Pet Pals KC did cat-sitting for us for our 2 cats on a few occasions. Harper came over to do the…read moreinitial appointment and see how things worked at our house. She seemed very professional, kind and trustworthy. The regular updates and photos of our babies that they sent us while we were gone were reliable and so reassuring. We had a few sitters but Rachel was the most frequent. From her message updates and the fact that everything was always fine when we returned from our trips, I felt like I could count on them. If we hadn't moved to Minneapolis recently, we would've continued to use their services without hesitation.

Nail trim with a dremel finish, oatmeal bath, Furminator treatment and even a massage! His coat was like silk and his nails are now at a much healthier length ... I could tell that he was feeling pretty handsome!! I felt that Abby was very connected to the spirit of animals and she went above and beyond with Jack. You can just tell when someone has that "special" aura and she has it! I just really can't say enough about her and the great presence and reputation that On The Ball has in our community. I have also had him there for daycare and it's great. Lots of individual attention which I appreciate. As a side note, Jack went to Mariposa Veterinary Wellness Center yesterday for his checkup and Dr. Carrier was most impressed with how he looked and felt ... Jacks fur is just beautiful after Abby's magic touch! He recommended that Jack go every month for grooming and that's exactly what I will be doing!

"Dog" may be in the name but Newman's has been wonderful for my cat, Edna! To set the stage, I have…read morewhat you might call a difficult kitty...or as my friend recently referred to her, "Satan". She gets nervous when people come into the home and I'm not there which makes pet sitting a challenge - so much so that she was fired as a client by the service I used in Chicago. Enter Newman's. Not only are both sitters, Emma and Christine, lovely people, they handled Edna in stride. They are awesome about sending texts after every visit and give me updates and details so it never feels like they're just checking a box. Christine has been our go-to and she's just awesome...noticing things like new food bowls and finding nice things to say about my salty Edna. I always look forward to her texts when I'm away. The owner, Jena responds to requests immediately (even when she's on vacation) and never has a problem with last-minute schedule changes. Overall, the level of service is truly exceptional - I highly recommend Newman's if you're looking for someone to take amazing care of your pets while you're away.

They are always available to take care of my furry fam, even at short notice. Not many sitters will watch ferrets, and they have done a great job with them. As Ferret parents know, ferrets can take a little extra care, and Latchkey Pets has shown me they can provide the necessary care and spend extra time with them. Knowing my fur babies are in good hands, I have always felt at ease when away. Their sitters are skilled, professional, personable, and polite. They send daily pictures of my pets, which is fantastic to see how they are doing, and they keep a detailed log of what was done each day. I have used them for daily visits and overnight stays. I can't recommend this group enough if you are looking for a pet sitter you can trust.

Richard has done AMAZING things for our whole family after 4 weeks-I even extended her training! Zona is just a happier girl and I'm no longer nervous taking a 70+lb guardian breed (at 8 months) out in public, greeting people, or on walks. And the girls who greet her every day are just as great! If you are considering professional training for your dog-just go for it. Richard worked with me to read her cues, loose leash walking, heeling, recall, working towards neutral with other dogs (WIP), and many more things. I'm as much a work in process as she is, but the patience they have shown is unmatched.

Our dog Ruby just went through a 4 week behavior modification training program with Steph at the…read moreGladstone location. Ruby was reactive on leash and at at our fence with the neighbor dogs, and had problems focusing on us (and what we wanted) while she was outside. She's the first non-food-motivated dog we've ever had, and so we had no idea how to get her attention when she was so focused on everything else. We had only ever trained with treats and that just wasn't working this time. But Steph did know how to train her. After training, our dog is calm and confident. She can loose leash walk in the neighborhood at heel. She's patient and well mannered. A model citizen. She will focus on us when we're outside and come when called, which used to be a struggle if there was a nice breeze, or an interesting leaf, or a bee, or the moon to gaze at. I highly recommend training through KC Dawgz and the associated Digs boarding facility/play group in Gladstone. We dropped Ruby off every morning and picked her up after work, and got to take home a well behaved dog in the evening. She learned while we were working, when we didn't have the time or expertise to do it ourselves. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. If you just have a wacky four legged roommate or a furkid who has a tougher problem, Steph can sort them out for you. The initial consultation was free and easy to schedule and the package we went with included in-home training lessons to make sure everything worked out right at home, too. Some of the best money we have ever spent. (Thank you Steph!!!)
