The staff here was always so helpful and quick to respond throughout the whole process. From the start, I was able to call a week in advance and get information, and when I realized I couldn't book online the day before, they were able to assist and get me in with no problem. Communication was top notch. On top of that, I don't board my dog often because he can be quite nervous around new people and new dogs. However, they were so reassuring the entire time. They sent me an update and a photo in the middle of the day to settle my nerves. When I went to pick him up, he was resting so comfortably next to them. The next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely be using their services again! Thank you Staycation for Dogs!

I was lucky…read moreenough to find Beloved Pet Sitting on Yelp and reached out to them to set up an appointment. They were super accommodating, communicative, and they took the best care of our two dogs (who can be needy and a little high maintenance). One dog is a blind senior and the other one is a little anxious due to being a rescue. Each sitter took the time to make sure our pups were comfortable with them and followed the directions we laid out. They sent updates and pictures after every visit, which significantly calmed the helicopter pet parent in me. Special shoutout to Kennedy who became best buds with my usually shy, slow-to-warm-up dog! This was an amazing option to have instead of putting our dogs in boarding (which we all would have been unhappy with). They are great at providing mix-and-match options to keep cost in mind. We will definitely continue to use Beloved Pet Sitting in the future!

Our almost 6 month old Pitbull Terrier/Shepherd Mix/mutt puppy, Grayson, came to stay with Sierra…read moreand Shannon for a 2 week board and train while we were on vacation and it was a game changer. We toured their house prior to Grayson's stay and it's well kept, clean, with great big yards both front and back. Grayson came home more obedient, learned how to dress before going outside and "get naked" after going outside, load in and out of the car, ring a bell to let us know when to go potty, "touch," sit, down, and the biggest thing for us is he's more comfortable in the car and listening to music (he used to bark at music like crazy). He doesn't pull on his leash as much and walks are more comfortable and less stressful. Grayson even got socialized with other dogs and cats! He does not bark as much anymore, which has been great for my nervous system Grayson got a bath before he came home and came home with a wonderful goodie bag. They used primarily positive reinforcement training with Grayson with some other tools. It was very effective. Working with Shannon and Sierra, you can tell they really care about their furry clients and take a lot of pride in their work. We will definitely be using them for future boarding for our furbaby. Highly recommend!!

Doug literally saved my dog's life. I had adopted my 75 pound lab mix Bear from the shelter at an…read moreadoption event. I was attracted to his size and his calm demeanor. I also felt sorry for him because he seemed so sad. I had no idea how many issues he had even though the foster coordinator did tell me he had been returned to the shelter three times before me. I thought with love and training he would be a good dog. I had trained two rescue dogs before I had children and thought I was ready for another. After bringing Bear home, it became more and more obvious that he was a fearful dog and had many behavioral issues due to this fearfulness. He jumped at any noise, barked at anyone other than the family who tried to get near him and was absolutely insane on a leash. He also appeared to be extremely dog aggressive. I hired a trainer recommended by the shelter and although he was good and thoughtful, his passive approach was difficult to implement, and didn't address many of my immediate problems. He also said that Bear would take a lot of work and always be fearful. I tried another trainer that seemed a little more highly recommended (and yes, I'll admit it, cheaper). After filling out a questionnaire and viewing Bear at her facility she told me that it was just a matter of time before he bit another dog or even a person. She also said that he would always be fearful. Based on her recommendation, I tried to rehome Bear. I was very honest, posting his information on Facebook exchanges and calling rescues. Nobody wanted him, based on the fact that he needed training and was possibly dog aggressive. One rescue recommended I drop him off at a shelter in Agoura Hills since people there had more money and there was less chance he would be put down. I called the shelter where I had gotten Bear and they told me they couldn't take him back either since it would be next to impossible to find a home for him. The only ray of hope I had was one woman on the Facebook exchange recommended Doug as someone who had helped plenty of PitBulls through a rescue she was affiliated with. I called Doug in a last ditch attempt before taking Bear to the shelter (and certain death). Doug spoke with me for almost an hour and gave me several tips over the phone in order to control Bear until he could meet him. On our first session, he came to my house and observed Bear. It was tense at first as Bear didn't like any strange people, let alone a tall man in a hat coming into his house. Doug won him over by the end of the session and had him taking treats from his hand. Doug did a lot of observing that day, gave me some training tasks to do and left us with something we didn't have before - hope. In the next session, Doug saw a completely new dog. Because of the tips and observations Doug had given us, I had the confidence to take Bear to the local dog park. The ability to run and socialize with other dogs was actually just what Bear needed. At the dog park he walked right up to people and let them pet him. He appeared just like any other dog. When Doug saw him, he was amazed at how much more relaxed he was. Doug has given us tools and techniques to work with Bear and he is improving by leaps and bounds. I can walk him now without having my arm ripped off or worrying that he will attack everyone we meet. He is sweet and polite and learning to be an amazing companion. Thanks to Doug, Bear will have a home with me for the rest of his life.
