The minute I met them; they erased any concerns. Yogi warmed to them immediately and their love of animals is apparent. They arrived on time (as evidenced by the pictures they sent of my doggo and their description of how the visit went). During one of the visits, due to MY miscommunication, they arrived just as I was about to take Yogi for a walk. He couldn't have been happier when he saw her. The excitement caused his tail and whole body to wag from side to side. I would definitely recommend Hansen Home and Pet Sitting.

My dog pooped when he went in the door because he's always nervous when he gets groomed. My daughter-in-law Kim comes with me to take our dogs. Kim picked up Harley's poop & put it in a plastic bag that was provided. Because there was no container right outside the door (by the steps) like there normally is, Kim put the bag with poop on the counter. Tosha went off on Kim about putting the plastic bag on the counter & said for her to walk up to the entrance at the top of the hill to put it in the yellow garbage bin. Tosha continued yelling & even used the "F" word & said we're lucky that she didn't throw the poop bag on my car. I have never experienced that kind of treatment by any other employee at the Doggie Lodge & today will be my last day as a customer with 2 dogs. I think Tosha, at the least, needs to be reprimanded & also take a course in customer service. What a shame. Marcia Cavalier

My 3-year-old dog has some issues with fear and aggression, and I signed him up for the package of seven private lessons plus four group lessons. We did the first four private lessons at Christine's home, then did three more in public places so my dog could practice meeting people and not freaking out. He is noticeably improved after just a few months, and I feel confident that I can continue using the training methods on my own (Christine makes clear that training is an ongoing process, not a quick fix). I also did a set of eight agility lessons with Selina, which was incredibly fun! My dog seems more confident now, and it was a great way for us to bond and communicate in a new way. Selina is a great trainer and instructor, and knows a lot about agility! Since doing the agility lessons, I find that I am better at communicating with my dog and understanding him. I originally thought it would just be a fun thing to do for a few weeks, but I had so much fun that now I'm thinking about competing in the future! A bit expensive, but worth every penny if you can afford it! My dog absolutely adores Christine and Selina, and seems to have really enjoyed training with them!

Ruby was diagnosed with an aggressive, inoperable cancer in February of 2017. Dr Fenchak gave us hope and was available by phone 24/7. He referred us to an animal hospital for further testing and a second opinion. He prescribed pain medication but, also, shared a success story of another patient of his that was treated with turmeric. Sadly Ruby passed on April 6th and Dr Fenchak mailed a handwritten card of condolence. I know we'll adopt another rescue one of these days and there's no question that Dr Fenchak will be our vet once again.
