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.

I was leaving out of the country for a couple weeks and was very anxious because I had never left my pets with anyone besides family members, I've never left them at a pet hotel/ sitter/ or someone's house, and I had other animals including chickens that need to be tended to. When I reached out to her for information she responded within a couple hours and we set up dates and times for a meet and greet. Cyndi and members of her team came out twice to do a meet and greet with my dogs and went over their daily routine as well as my other pets including our bearded dragon and chickens. While I was gone she communicated frequently throughout giving me updates and sending me pictures. I set up services with her to come twice a day to care for them and each time she checked in and out I was notified via Petcheck dashboard and felt completely at ease knowing I didn't have to worry about them. My bearded dragon was having issues prior to my vacation but she took the time to replace any heat lamp/ light bulbs that needed replacing and gave her a good bath. She made sure my chickens had enough food & water and collected all our eggs. I would 1000% recommend Cyndi if you have any pet sitting needs. She is caring, responsive, reliable, and easy to work with. The petcheck dashboard notified me when she checked in morning and evening on a daily basis via email notifications, allowed me to pay for my services and gave me the option to request additional appointments. When I returned from my trip my dogs were extremely happy and looked very well cared for. My bearded dragon was perkier and her aquarium clean. I am extremely happy with the service Cyndi provided and I will definitely use her again in the future.

This isn't just a side job for him--it's clear from day one that this is a career and a calling. When I first met George, I was immediately impressed by how thorough, prepared, and knowledgeable he was about animals and their care. Over the years, we've gone on trips ranging from a quick weekend away to a month and a half overseas, and every single time we've come home to happy, calm, and completely unstressed pets. That alone says so much. Knowing George is caring for our pets and our home gives me true peace of mind--which is absolutely priceless when you're trying to relax and enjoy time away. What sets George apart is how many times he's gone above and beyond for us. In difficult situations--sometimes involving last-minute changes or unexpected emergencies--George has shown up, stepped in, and gone out of his way to help. I'll always be deeply grateful for that level of care and commitment. We love working with George. He's a trusted part of our lives now, and our pets adore him too. If you're looking for someone who is dependable, experienced, and genuinely caring, look no further. George is simply the best.
