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!

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!

The best caretaker for my fur baby!…read more I can't say enough great things about Chantel and City Girls Dog Care! From the moment I reached out, I felt like my husky lab Kuma would be in the best hands. Chantel is incredibly responsive, kind, and passionate about dogs. Chantel and her team have looked after Kuma a few times now, and I'll definitely keep coming back. During my recent trip, I received daily updates and adorable photos that reassured me he was happy and well-cared for. City Girls Dog Care followed my care instructions perfectly. They gave him plenty of love and even went the extra mile by taking him on hikes. What really stood out was how excited Kuma gets whenever he sees Chantel. It's clear she has a true knack for connecting with dogs and training them.

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!!

We love Pam and Sharyn! They are sisters who run this business out of their home. We live nearby,…read moreso Sharyn usually does the pick up and drop off. They truly love all the dogs they care for and treat them like their own. Our dog Roxy loves going for day care and comes home exhausted. Nothing beats a happy, healthy, and well socialized dog. Roxy is a small dog (7 lbs) and they were very careful when introducing her to the rest of their pack and other day care pals. They made sure to slowly introduce her to the larger dogs so that no one got hurt or scared. Now, Roxy is so comfortable that she greets all the new shy puppies, helping them feel at ease and socialized. If Pam is walking your dog, she's really good about taking photos and texting them to you. Not everyday, but every now and again so it's a nice treat. Sharyn isn't as tech savvy, but we still adore her! When she drops Roxy off, she usually walks them in packs of three, so you get to meet the other dogs, which is a treat because they are all sweet. We are so lucky to have them take care of our little pup. We know that Roxy is in good hands.

If you are looking for a reliable dog walker, Pam is very passionate about her work and a great person to call. Bart and Jojo miss you Pam!

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.
