I can't say enough good things about A Big Dog House and its owner, Mark (McGoo). From the moment I…read moremet him, I felt an immense sense of relief--like a weight had been lifted. I was heading to Scotland and needed somewhere safe, reliable, and compassionate for my six-month-old shepherd mix, Toast, to stay and learn. Not only was Toast housed with love, but in just a few days, he was walking calmly on a leash, potty trained, crate trained (which was crucial since he had made my bed his bathroom), and following a consistent routine. McGoo didn't just train Toast--he trained me, too. He made sure I had everything I needed when Toast came home, including a crate and a game plan. He followed up, checked in, and guided me until I felt confident continuing the work myself. It wasn't a transaction; it was a true partnership built on trust and a shared goal: a well-adjusted, happy dog. Meanwhile, my JackChi, who wasn't getting along with Toast, is still in McGoo's care--being trained, loved, and prepared for his future forever home. What McGoo offers isn't just dog boarding or training--it's creative, thoughtful problem-solving for real-life situations, always centered on the well-being of everyone involved (humans included). There's no one else out there quite like McGoo. A Big Dog House isn't just a place--it's a lifeline.

I only trust Sunshine Pet Sitters to watch my spoiled cat Tarzan when I'm out of town. Since…read moreTarzan is a very sociable cat, he needs a lot of attention and Lara or Barbara come to the house twice a day to feed him and play with him while I'm gone. I don't worry and don't feel guilty for being gone so long when I know I've employed them. They also do a security check on the house and pick up the mail. I highly recommend their services. My cat has always been well-adjusted and happy when I've come home. I've used them for about two years now.

I have been using the services of Lara and her colleagues for the past 7 years. I could not hope…read morefor a kinder or more reliable pet sitting service. I have entrusted them with a total of 4 different cats throughout the years, and their superior service and availability have allowed me to travel with complete peace of mind. Lara even cared for one of my ailing cats during the day while I had to work. She connected with my cats immediately when I first interviewed her, and I have had complete faith in her ability to provide loving care to all my pets. She also happily provides updates and sends pictures when I'm away. Her prices are very reasonable, and she is easily reached via email, phone or text message. She also keeps an eye on my house while I'm away, which is very reassuring. Lara and her colleagues have been a true blessing for me and my pets.

I accidentally came across K-9 Adventures in search of dog boarding services. Dog boarding is no…read morelonger available but the dog training services are top notch. Dave teaches the owner (not just the dog) which in my opinion makes a world of difference when it comes to bonding and obedience with your dog. Our 6 month old leash pulling Doberman puppy no longer drags me across the street. I highly recommend K-9 Adventures to owners with dogs that may be reactive or aggressive as Dave's years of experience as a dog trainer will help guide any dog owner on how to handle their dog from age puppy to "can't reach an old dog". Please read the articles he's written on his website. He put a lot of time and thought into them and you will automatically get the feel for his love of canines and their capabilities each one has.

So I came to pick up my dog from K-9 Adventures, I had to ring the doorbell, a short while later…read morethis sweaty guy with leashes draped over his shoulder opens the door. I forgive the door bell because this guys looks like he's been playing with dogs! As I check out he remarks on my dog's visit (5 nights) and his comments about my pup are spot on...he knows my dog! The facility is terrific, that much is easy to see, but my dog was in great spirits. He got right back into our day to day routine without a hitch. It seems that he had as great a vacation as I did! A vet tech recommended this place and I'm glad they did.

The King Club is great!…read more They've taken care of Mr. Nibbles whenever we've gone out of town, and we've always felt like he was in the best hands. We love getting their morning and evening reports each day, and they send tons of pics too. Nibbles is a very special part of our family, and we had to make SURE he'd get the care and attention he needed while we were away (we went through so many different pet sitters before we discovered The King Club). We can finally go out of town without worrying!! Yay!

I can't say enough good things about The King Club…read more Everyone I've encountered from there has been responsible, trustworthy and professional. From the initial meeting when I first met our pet care specialist (they refer to them as dukes and duchesses), I felt that Sasha - my 10 and a half year old aussie/border collie mix - would be in great hands. Now they also regularly walk her and watch her when I'm out of town. I get a report after every walk and they always send me updates (with plenty of pictures) when I'm out of town. Not only that, but I don't have to hassle them about it - actually I didn't even have to ask. They asked me if it was ok to text me updates and pictures while I was out of town, and of course I said yes! The people who work here are really devoted to the animals they care for as though they are their own. I've seen animal lovers before, of course, but these people are just at a different level. They don't just view what they are doing as their "job", but more as a calling to help animals and to be of service to their owners (who they call "pet parents"). They don't just clock in and clock out like robots, but take extra special care to make sure the animals get the care they need that day. Their prices are very reasonable and totally competitive with other pet sitters/dog walkers. I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable their prices were given the level of care they provide and the time they devote to each animal. Also, there are never any surprises or hidden fees, which I really appreciate. After chatting with the owner, I found out she's been deeply involved with animal rescue for years and the company gives 10% of their profits to a different animal rescue nonprofit every quarter. I'm so glad my friend referred me to this place!

I'm pregnant with our 5th and she's been so incredibly helpful, even beyond the children; light clean up, park trips, some days she's even a built in therapist! Shayna is kind, educated, compassionate, spirited; I cannot say enough about this woman. Even on our worst days, she shows up 100% prepared for everything we throw at her. Anyone would be so incredibly lucky to have her join your family

We called Shayna less than 24 hours before leaving out of town in need of an emergency dog sitter…read more She got back to me within an hour and was more than enthusiastic to help take care of our 3 dogs for us while we were away. Not only was she super sweet but she made sure to spend more time with them than we expected. She offered to pick up after them as well. She really went above and beyond pur expectations. She even left us a really nice note giving us the rundown on her time spent with the dogs. We are thrilled to have found someone local that we can count on to watch not only our dogs but trust with our house. Cant wait to use you again Shayna and my kids are excited to meet you as well. Thank you, Ryan!

Since you sent me a text asking me to change my review I…read moredid. I was hoping you could at least communicate with me instead of giving me no response at all. Like all of us my life is extremely stressful I had a death in the family which is why I needed your help so I know things happen. We are all human. In your text you didn't even identify yourself I hope you continue your wonderful service I am sorry for the miscommunication

Travelin' Chimp is fabulous! I hired them to watch my dog for 7 days when I went out of town and…read moreI am so pleased with their services! Prior to starting, the owner Clint and his employee Joshua came to my house to discuss what I expected and to make sure that Joshua and my dog got along. They were both right on time for our meeting, and I was very impressed with how professional the meeting was. After I explained what type of care my dog needed, which included walking in the neighborhood twice a day and medicating her ears, Clint asked if there was anything else I needed done around the house while I was gone. In addition to taking care of my dog, it was no problem for Joshua to water my plants, bring in my mail and put the trash cans by the curb. It was up to me how often I received updates about how my dog and my home were doing while I was gone. I received my first text when Joshua arrived at my home to assure me that my dog was fine, and Clint told me he also got daily reports from Joshua that all was well. I was so confident that my dog and home were being properly cared for, I had a great vacation, never worrying once. When I got home, I saw that my dog had been excellently cared for, my mail was stacked neatly on the kitchen table, and the bed linens used by Joshua were washed. The price for their services was also very reasonable. I plan to use Travelin' Chimp again and I do not hesitate to recommend them to everyone.

Mine, and my animals, lucky day was when we were introduced to Clint, the owner of Travelin' Chimp…read moreAnimal Care. My four-legged babies (and three-legged, actually), are just as important as my human two-legged kids, so for me to hire someone to take care of them is a huge deal. Not only does the person have to be trustworthy and capable, reliable and responsible, and love animals, but they also have to be able to deal with my insecurity and the crazy care we give our pets. Clint, and Courtney, one of his caregivers, are both so amazing and wonderful, and have all these traits and more! I completely trust them with our dogs and cats, and the care of our home when we're away. To have that feeling of complete trust is worth a million bucks, but yet their fees are so reasonable! Nothing fazes them, either - Clint was going to take my kitty in for her chemo treatment (we ended up switching protocols, so this wasn't necessary, but he totally would have done it). My dogs are crazy, too, so walking them is sometimes quite difficult. But, Clint does it with seemingly ease. We simply couldn't lead the busy, crazy life we do, if it weren't for the "village" to help take care of us all. You can rest easily knowing that Travelin' Chimp is caring for your pets and home; and you can believe that each employee has been more than carefully vetted and is equally as capable, loving and trustworthy as Clint. He wouldn't hire anyone to work for him, that he wouldn't hire himself to take care of his pets. They are all wonderful, and I couldn't more highly recommend this company and group of animal loving people!!!
