We took an 8 day trip back East and normally we would leave our dogs at the kernel at our Vet, but since we've added a bird and puppy recently, we decided to give PetWatch 916 a try. Jessica kept us at ease and we never had to worry about our babies as we could tell by her daily texts and pictures she truly cared about our pets and we knew they were in good hands. We will definitely call them again for our next trip out of town that we can't take them with us.

After some shaky experiences with Rover, I was wary about turning to another pet sitting service,…read morebut my goodness, Karla's Pet Care restored my faith. Our fam met with Kayla and Matthew a few days before our 3-day trip and instantly got great vibes as they patiently answered our questions and got familiar with our senior Schnauzer Terrier's routine and med schedule. While away, we received detailed morning, midday and evening updates with photos and videos. We really felt as if Karla's staff had the best interest of our pooch at heart and did not just go through the motions. We will continue to use them whenever the need arises. This is one pet service that will put your mind at ease.

When he was 10 months old, we enrolled our not-so-little pup in JPK9's Board and Train program. From the initial consultation and finalizing agreements to dropping Vander off, both Juan and Sarah made the entire process seamless and truly put our minds at ease. After just three weeks, Vander came home showing tremendous growth in his manners, focus, and overall behavior. Juan's dedication and passion for his craft speak for themselves through the results we've seen. What we appreciate most about JPK9, however, is the genuine care they show for each dog's growth and long-term success. This has become especially apparent through their Sunday training sessions. JPK9 has built a community of dog owners committed to growing and training their four-legged family members, and Juan and Sarah truly make that community feel like family.

Within a few weeks, we had a dog that could be in a large group setting around other dogs. We learned the tools needed to manage him and are now able to take him on walks, to parks and have him around other dogs with little to no reaction. His overall obedience has also greatly improved. Juan truly cares about the success of each dog , provides ongoing group training, and follows up 1:1. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

So happy we found Jayce/E.G. Barkers! Our long-time dog sitter moved out of state and we found…read moreourselves in a bit of a panic to find a new sitter for our two dogs just a few weeks before our week long Christmas vacation. Our meet and greet with Jayce went great and fortunately for us she was available when we needed her (and willing to work on the holiday). We opted for two 30-min visits per day because one of our dogs requires morning and evening medications and Jayce always showed up within the time frames and followed all the instructions for feeding and medication schedules. She kept the water refilled and based on what we could see from our home security cameras, our two dogs seemed to really like her. She sent pictures/updated with every visit. Jayce was also observant of overall home well-being and notified me when there was evidence of someone besides her having been in the house (there was, as my father-in-law had come by to pick something up, and apparently he left the laundry room light on and the laundry room door open). Although we did not intend for it to be a test of her attentiveness, it was great to know that she was in fact paying attention to the home safety and alerting when there was a potential concern. She also took care of some other basic household tasks like pulling our garbage cans in off the street and picking up our mail. The prices are extremely reasonable and she was willing to work on Christmas Day. She even dressed up our pups and sent special Christmas greetings We look forward to booking with E.G. Barkers again in the future!

On a recommendation I called elk Grove Barkers. I spoke to the owner Jacey and we arranged a meet and greet to be held at my home. At my home visit, Jacey and I discussed dog walking, plant watering services daily mail pick up and in home sitting services offered. I was in luck as Jacey had an immediate opening and was able to fit Bella into her rather busy schedule. I filled out and signed a couple of forms, provided Bella's veterinarian information and additional emergency contact information. We went over the daily feeding times walking, plant watering and mail pick up schedule. I was extremely impressed at Jacey's attentiveness organization and use of technology. Jacey calendared everything on her personal device and when she met Bella I was relieved to see that they were such a great match. It was comforting to know that my dog would be safe in her own home and well taken care of by a professional dog lover. Overall the pre-appointment took about 30 to 40 minutes. I scheduled Jacey to come by two times each day in the morning and evening and as an added bonus I received daily updates from Jacey on pretty much everything for updates including mini videos as well as lots of pictures. I would recommend EG Barkers to anyone who needs to have their pet taken care of in a loving non-stressful and safe home environment Bella loves LOVES her dog walker, Miss Jaycee. With that said I would without any hesitation hire E. G. Barkers again in the future to take care of Bella. Especially for those days with late work meetings.

"The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs." - Charles de Gaulle…read more After meeting my fair share on FarmersOnly.com, OurTime.com, and PositiveSingles.com, I decided to switch dating sites and look on Petfinder.com. There were a few cuties that I could see potentially growing into a serious relationship. So I sold myself as much as I could on their online form and waited anxiously for them to respond. 3 days wait is the general rule before calling right? I decided to take my little man with me to see if I had his approval before cheating on him with another lifelong commitment. The place was a bit out in the boonies and looks like someone turned their barn-home into a rescue shelter. But Kritter Kamp is a no-kill rescue place so it's worth the drive. The place is a bit overwhelming with tons of little guys yapping away inside the building. But I was just glad that they were kept INSIDE the building and not in outdoor kennels. I was surprised to see they offer boarding and grooming services as well. They have a grassy fenced off play-area where I was introduced to my list of potential suitors. My little man wasn't interested in being compatible with any of them and they seem to not care as well. He was more interested in sniffing the grass than sniffing their butts. After I exhausted my list of potentials without even coming close to a match, one of the KK staff said she noticed that I had a type- I like 'em hairy! She told me she'd bring out a new one they just recently rescued from the Sac shelter. Out comes "Cha-Cha", a white furball with mattes all over her feet. She was so friendly, coming up to me all wiggly-butt and waggy. And she loved my little man, following him around everywhere! I originally didn't want to swing that way and wanted males only, but she was such a sweetheart and it just felt right. The heart doesn't lie, ya'll. Turns out she had only been at Kritter Kamp for 2 days and they hadn't even gotten a chance to fully groom her yet or socialize her. She only trusted Betty. I could tell the KK staff really cares about animals by how they handled the dogs and how they grilled me with questions before allowing me to bring her home. But I was able to take her home the same day with a $200 adoption fee to cover for her shots and spay. She hadn't even gotten spayed yet, but the ladies at KK assured me they would call me to set up an appointment with SPCA to have her spayed. Sure enough, a few days later, I dropped her back at KK and they had her spayed and returned within a day with all the paperwork. And despite the many dogs at KK and how little time they had to make her all pretty and adoptable, she came home without fleas! Now that says a lot about the place. Two years later and then-Cha-Cha-but-now-Lola has proven to be one of the best life choices I've made. She fits so well with the family. So if you find that Match.com ain't matching so well, go adopt and you'll find a devoted partner who'll love you unconditionally. You save them, they save you. What a wonderful thing.

My pup was 8-months old and her shyness coupled with her overall disinterest in food made her difficult to train. At puppy kindergarten she was the best behaved in the class - simply because she would emotionally shut-down from fear, and would just sleep peacefully at my feet. Trying to "buy" her cooperation with treats was fruitless as she had no interest in them. Leaving her with a boarding facility was not going to work well for my tender hearted girl. I contacted Janie and she was the perfect guardian and trainer for my puppy. 3-weeks later I came back to a different dog. She was far more secure about her place in the world, more trusting, and much happier. Janie's gentle manner in training - based in positive reinforcement and a lot of love - transformed my dog! Janie's been in our lives ever since for a weekly play and train session. It's delightful to watch my dogs level of excitement when she knows Aunty Janie is coming. I couldn't be happier to give the highest recommendation for Janie - she's a miracle worker.
