After our local training place closed we were looking for other options and committed to positive reinforcement training. Unfortunately a lot of trainers use aversives, especially with large strong dogs. We were so excited to find Julia, and after our meet & greet we were confident she was a good choice. 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.

We've been working with Julia for a couple now and saw results almost immediately! The aggression is completely gone and our home is much calmer. She obviously knows her stuff! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a little (or a lot!) of help with their fur babies. And the fact that she comes to our home is so helpful!

On our last vacation, one of our cats had to be euthanized. While this was... well absolutely f*cking devastating, it was such a relief to know our Hanky Panky was with someone he knew, someone who loved him, someone who could comfort him. Also, someone with the Knowledge and ability to provide medical care. Sharyn is a member of my fur family, I may never see her, but her love and care for my most treasured souls is a true gift and I have never once regretted hiring her. In fact, I'd go as far as saying it was one of my better decisions in life

Wow! What an all round fantastic experience with Sharyn at Grit City Kitty; her communication (and…read moreanswering my many questions) prior to our arrival, her willingness to rearrange the blankets/bed/box in his horizontal condo for his mobility needs and the fact that she truly is perfectly suited for her business as is evident when you step inside her home.

He was not only safe, bu t HAPPY there! They responded to my first check-in text within minutes, with a photo that warmed my heart. They continued to communicate (unsolicited) during his stay. When I picked him up, he had his exit bath, nails clipped, and a sweater they threw in because "he might get a chill out there because he's still damp." Over and above! I love this business model and the dedication of the women who own the business and employ others who obviously love the dogs. HIghest recommendation!

My experience (well, my dog's experience) at Muttropolitan has been very positive. My dog is an…read moreexuberant rescued Rottweiler. She had basic manners when I brought her there, which I did for socialization and to give myself a break from a demanding still puppy of about 2.5 years old. In the time she has been there she has come a long way. She loves her caretakers, and has several favorite playmates. She has calmed down significantly. They definitely know how to handle larger stubborn dogs without breaking their spirit. My dog is always excited when we drive there. As soon as the car turns onto South Tacoma Way she perks up and start whining and wiggling her bottom. If my dog was unhappy there I am sure that her reaction would be quite different. I hope that she can go there for many more years.

We wholeheartedly recommend Alena! She has been taking excellent care of our two kitties over the…read morelast couple of years. She's been to our house for a total of eight visits and always sends us a daily report along with wonderful photos that let us know all is well. In addition to making sure that our kitties are well fed and played with and litter boxes attended to, she has taken care of our plants and brought in mail and packages. Alena has also contended with ant invasions and a kitty that likes to eat too quickly and sometimes vomits afterwards. One of the most important aspects of a pet sitter is to have someone that you 100% trust, and that is Alena for us.

Importantly, I appreciate the overall philosophy of dog training. It is kind and not punitive by building positive reinforcement habits.

Rob Adams was amazing. We have a reactive dog with separation anxiety, so finding someone who could…read morehandle him was a bit of a challenge. Rob looked after him for over a week, sending constant pictures and videos where he was showing us how he was training him and the corrections necessary to ensure success. Afterwards we had a park outing where he gave us hands-on training to ensure a smooth hand over and to make sure we were set up yo continue training successfully. The improvement we saw on our dog was night and day. I'm incredibly thankful that Rob not only trained our dog, but he also made sure to give him all the love while we were gone!

We reached out to them and they said he puked once???? And she didn't tell us????? So then we send her a photo and she says " During the night, Pluto broke out of two different crates and subsequently ate food brought for other dogs. In that time he also got into the garbage that we have in the dog area. We had no idea that he actually ate the garbage as it was rummaged through." LIKE YOUR JOKING RIGHT? The messages the whole time were telling us they were okay & that they were having fun, and also what did she do for the other dogs that food got aten??? I know she didn't tell the other owners if she didn't tell us all of this. I have receipts for all of this I will attach. DO NOT GO TO HER. She won't protect yours babies like you do. I just think it's INSANE she decided not to tell us any of this until after the stay we find out from our dogs puke & have to ask her like my baby could've gotten out and ran away. I'm so mad rn but all I can do is protect the other fur babies from coming here. DO NOT COME HERE!!!!! She repots my review every time I post it she's CRAZY DO NOT TRUST HER

**WARNING** & **BEWARE**…read more If you love and care for your pup and its well being, then I urge you DO NOT bring take them here! This place is a DEATH trap! I have taken my pup here on and off consistently over the last 2 years. I have often have had to take breaks from this place due to various incidents. Bites missing patches of hair, and my dog often being extremely hungry and thirsty when returning from there as if he hasn't eaten or had anything to drink at all. Most recently I came to pick up my pup, not knowing they have changed the hours again ( as they often due to lack of employees) to find that my dog was in alone in "isolation" after being attacked and bitten by another dog. A piece of my dogs ear had been bitten off, by what is obliviously a bigger dog, which whom he should have never been left alone with unattended. My pup is a loving, fun and playful 2year old Pug, without an a aggressive bone in his body. They did not notify me of the attack and injury! Although this was an EMERGENCY, in which they allow pick-up, they tried to hide the injury! When I requested to know the details of the injury, they could NOT tell me ANYTHING! They did not have any answer because they were not present when the injury occurred! They could not tell me what happened, or who the attacking dog was. (that would be necessary to know for future stays) but they are completely clueless because they don't watch over the dogs. You drop your pup off and they go in a cage, while the staff goes to stay in a separate area behind the building of where they store the dogs, or they leave! (which I have witnessed They DO NOT watch over the dogs to ensure that there are no incidents! They DO NOT have cameras monitoring your dog while in there care! They take zero preventative measures to ensure your animals safety, despite knowing the various kinds of dogs they keep in there facility. If injury occurs to your animal here; including death, they will tell you" well you signed a liability waiver and this is a open range facility". You will not be granted access to see the inhumane conditions in which they are not caring for your pet or it's well being! Because they are traitorous and beneath most loving pet owners standards. They did not offer any assistance with my $360 vet bill despite my dog permanently having a fraction of his ear missing! They had no care or concern, and turned a blind eye to a loyal customers. Never returned my phone care or showed any concern. The owner ROBERT GRAHAM refused to speak to me to avoid accountability and forced me to talk only to his employee who has no authority or can provide zero resolve. I take partial responsibility knowing the conditions of this place and taking him back despite the previous incidents which occurred in their care that they had no care or concern about! Just pay more and go to a reputable, dog sitter or day care! There are plenty of places! They didn't even bother trying to clean the wound with soap and water and applying antibiotics, they provided zero care! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY for & this place is the cheapest prices around for a reason!!! Don't risk you let's safety and we'll being! All the bad reviews on here are true, this place is the worst and even in 2023 NOTHING has changed possibly only **THISIS THE WORST PLACE YOU COULD POSSIBLY TAKE YOUR PET, IF YOU TAKE YOUR ANIMAL HERE, THEN THEY MUST NOT MEAN MUCH TO YOU, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED**

He helped overcome the fear of dropping our german Shepard (people really discriminate against this breed even though he is a huge baby).
