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!

The care and attention given to my furry friend were exceptional. The host provided a warm and safe environment, and my dog seemed genuinely happy during the stay.

They also always seem to separate her when shes eating, which is was we requested to prevent her from eating other dogs food since shes a sensitive frenchie, I highly recommend this service to any pet owner seeking a loving and reliable home away from home for their beloved canine companion.

Pampered Pet Care at its Finest!…read more I travel quite a bit for work and have always tried to have in-home care for my 15 year-old cat, PIA. The cost of having someone come to my home was very expensive and I ended up having to board her for one of the trips. Being in a one-cat household and used to having free range of the house, boarding her felt like putting her in kitty jail! While boarded she lost weight and her arthritis was much more pronounced when I brought her home. It took her a few days to be able to jump up on the bed whereas before it wasn't even an issue. I was dreading my next trip because I knew I would have to board her again...then a friend referred me to Charron from Bay Area Crate Escape. Charron is simply amazing! She came to my home for a meet and greet and had me fill out a detailed form about my pet. I was pleasantly surprised to find questions like how often would I like to be updated about my pet while away, what time my pet preferred to be fed, what daily routines should she maintain with my pet, would I like her to continue her daily visits if she didn't hear from me in case my travel was delayed. I gave her the keys to my house and, more importantly, the care of my pet with complete confidence. While I was away Charron updated me every other day (my preference) on PIA's welfare complete with a picture of my happy, well brushed cat. My cat is very picky with her food and often refuses to eat. Charron made a special trip to the store to purchase the food that my cat was eating to ensure she didn't go on a hunger strike (wow!). When my work trip was extended for an additional week at the last minute Charron quickly assured me that it was no problem and PIA was in good hands. With all the stressors of traveling, project deadlines and meetings it was great to know that my pet was well taken care of, my mail was being picked up and my plants were watered. All of this at an incredible rate (about the same as it cost me to board her!). I returned home to a stress-free pet. My mail was neatly arranged and my plants looked better than when I left. I am thrilled that I will never have to board PIA again, and that I can leave guilt-free for business or vacation knowing that my pet is in great hands. Thanks, Charron!

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.

My dog has so much fun on his walks and I look forward to his adorable pictures! I highly recommend City Girls dog care.

I fell for the pandemic puppy trap earlier this year when I decided to get a puppy! 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.
