He was recommended by another pet sitter who was too busy to help me and he responded right away, was very professional, and best of all showed up and did exactly what I asked him to do and more. I think my pets liked him better than they like me - although he isn't a slouch about rules and discipline. He just has that something, so I guess his business name is perfect for the service he renders. I asked him to first come to my home but now that I know him I would feel comfortable boarding my pets with him as well.

The staff person said they are only taken out of the kennel once per day while they clean it in the morning and that's it. No walks, playtime, etc unless they have "downtime," which she said they wouldn't because it was too busy. The staff I dealt with was super kind and understood my concerns. I won't be back.

I did visit the boarding facility to determine if my dog would be a good fit, and while my dog was not secure around the bigger doggies, the dogs she had there were so happy and confident, I could tell that she took great care of her own dogs and the dogs in her care. She was wonderfully professional, trustworthy and our dog loved her, she was so very kind to him and looked after our kitties too. She is attentive to detail and caring. I didn't think twice about leaving my house key with her and giving her full access to my home and pets. She will be my go to pet sitter going forward if she is ok with it.

Five Stars! Daryl and Gwen from California Shih Tzu Pups are…read moretruly amazing people. We've gotten two puppies from them, and both experiences have been absolutely wonderful. Our first pup came home with us about three years ago--a male, purebred Shih Tzu with the best demeanor you could ask for. He's been a fantastic family dog and has brought us so much joy. This past November, right around Christmas, we welcomed our second puppy--a Havashu female--and she is beyond adorable. She has beautiful markings, an amazing temperament, and fits perfectly into our family. The two dogs get along wonderfully, which speaks volumes about the care and socialization they receive early on. Daryl and Gwen truly go above and beyond to make sure every person is happy with their puppy and that each pup is loved and cared for like a family member. You can feel how much love they pour into what they do--they are incredibly special people. If you're reading this and considering getting a puppy from them, give them a chance.
