My dog Lido is the light of my life, and that's putting it mildly - meaning I can be a little over bearing and generally don't let him stay just anywhere. I can honestly say Lynda is one of the only people that's not a family member that I trust wholeheartedly with his care. It also helps that he has become best friends with one of her recent foster fails I love that they only take small (or very calm larger dogs), allow them to cuddle in bed and most importantly only use positive reinforcement. I always trust that he is being treated as if he was one of their own. Could not recommend Lynda or her services enough. We feel so lucky to have found her!

We absolutely loved this daycare service for, Tato & Chip! The convenience was unbeatable -- they'd…read moreget picked up right from home and whisked off to a fully fenced, off-leash open space where they could run, play, and just be happy dogs. They thrived all year round and always came back tired, content, and well-cared for. Tato can be a little weird in a big pack of dogs. But in this environment, she was happy and acclimated very quickly. I would see how happy she was on the instagram posts--she's never like that at home or at the dog park. Like with any daycare or hike in California, it's smart to keep your dogs on flea/tick prevention. During high season, we did have to pull a couple ticks off our pups, but that's just part of living in California -- not a reflection on the owner or the service. Most of the year it was never an issue. We were so sad when we moved because we know we'll never find anyone quite like Craig where we are now. If you're lucky enough to be local, this is truly a gem for both dogs and their humans!

I've had several other cat sitters before but none is this professional and caring. Also they're very easy to communicate with, fast to respond, and responsible. 10/10 recommend!!

Not only is she professional, flexible and prompt in response (things i absolutely look for in any kind of business), she is also a very caring and lovely person. And cherry on top - she genuinely loves the dogs! i have met many people in the dog business who do it for the money but she really does love our little "kids." Bis is very energetic and sometimes plays a little too intense but Diana really listened to what my shepherd needed and paid attention to his play with other dogs. Bis always comes back tired and happy from their time together with no problems and then greets her with kisses whenever she arrives. Bonus: pictures texted throughout the day of Bis playing with his new friends. Overall, I highly recommend Diana and i'm really glad i found her! Thank you Diana!

When I discovered Paws Dog Camp, I knew I had finally found the perfect sanctuary for him. Heyhey has been attending camp since July 2025, and it has played a massive role in his socialization. Because of their unique membership policy, the dogs follow a consistent weekly schedule. This means he sees the same friends every time he goes. It completely eliminates the stress of "joining a new pack" or dealing with the nerves of unknown dogs. Seeing them play in a fully fenced, monitored private farm gives me such incredible peace of mind. The bond he has with the team is the best part. Every morning at pickup, Heyhey gives the handlers the warmest welcome and practically leaps into the van without a single backward glance at me! Through the photos the handlers send, I get to see his eyes shining with pure joy as he chases balls, wrestles, and plays tug-of-war with his best human and dog friends. By the time he comes home, he is happily exhausted and goes right to sleep. The handlers so patient and truly love what they do. They are incredibly accountable and attentive to every owner's preferences. Their service is so convenient; on days I have to leave early or stay late, they handle the home pickup and drop-off without any issues. For the level of care and the expansive space they provide, the cost is wonderful--especially for a high-energy, 70lb Lab! While I haven't tried their overnight boarding yet, they will absolutely be my first choice when I travel. Thank you, Trina, Omie, Alex, and the entire team for taking such wonderful care of my boy!

Seeing my…read morefriends' dogs and cute puppies around, I only assumed it would be great to have a companion in my life. Little did I know that cuteness overload comes with a lot of responsibility and struggles, especially since I live alone, and have never had a pet in my life. In fact, as a kid, I was extremely scared of dogs! I knew I had to get a trainer when after the 2nd week, I started feeling overwhelmed with my puppy's energy and tantrums. Thankfully I found Diane! She has been a great mentor if I could use this word to guide me through my pup training journey. We had two formal sessions - 1st one was a 3 hour phone call where she patiently answered all my questions and gave me 100s of tools and things to buy and learn to build a "puppy training toolkit". The 2nd session was a 3 hour in person training session where she introduced training collar and other tools and showed me how to stop certain behaviors. The best thing is that Diane has been kind enough to answer stupid and repeated questions from me over text or phone at any time of the day. If I've felt overwhelmed, I've always had comfort to know that I have a personal counsellor/mentor available. Diane shared a lot of tools, tricks, and methods - most of them work great, some don't - some do, but not always - but that is just because each dog is different and each dog-parent relationship is unique. I am just glad to have all those tools and information available to tap into whenever I run into any challenge. I feel super confident in my puppy's training and the fact that I have all I need to train my puppy well, thanks to Diane! My puppy Zoya has been sleeping safe and sound in her crate from day 1, and sleeping all night from the moment I reached out to Diane. Zoya is fully potty trained, and walks on leash like a confident yet obedient queen! Diane is extremely knowledgeable about dog behaviors, illnesses, eating habits, and tantrums - and I always reach out to her first, before I reach out to my vet! I trust Diane, and I promise you will also!

The stars aligned in bring her to us because she is more than a rockstar dog trainer & coach, but she is a trusted member of our family who I hold at a high level of respect. She helped us organize our apartment so that our puppy could be introduced into our space over time, she taught us how to walk our dramatic doodle for the first time, she helped our doodle meet a pack of his own during his walks, gave us food, supplement, and toy recommendations. She walked us through what to do when our puppy was misbehaving and incorporates a firm, yet loving technique so the dog knows who is boss. I can still hear her voice in the back of my head, "Christine you need to be firm, he cannot win." Puppies test your patience and Diane truly is our advocate in learning how to not only redirect his actions but build confidence in being first time dog owners. I've learned more in the months with Diane than I could have ever learned through a book or online. I am forever grateful to her, the bond that she's helped us create with our dog, the bond that she herself has created with our dog, and the continued guidance she offers as we continue to grow. I would recommend Diane to my friends and family.
