My pup has been watched by Mike for the past couple years. Unfortunately we had to move and i have…read moreto go through the anguish of finding another pet sitter who took as good of care of Henri as Mike did. I never had to worry that he was not being looked after. mike was always so great about coming to pick him up and drop him off at our house. He also worked with us through all the reschedules and times changes. We could definitely tell that henri missed being around his second family in san marcos when he got home.....(we are so boring compared to mikes house with all the pups and kids!) I would recommend him to everyone in the area. We will truly miss mike and the love he and his family shared with our dog while we were away.

We have 2 miniature donkeys, 2 chickens and a cat. I was concerned that I would not be able to…read morefind someone willing to care for non domesticated pets(even though our chickens and donkeys are very tame and friendly) . I found Jennifer on a website called Thumbtack. She answered my request in a matter of minutes. Jennifer was willing to handle all o the details associated with the very specific needs of each set of animals.... Her communication was amazing and she was very detail oriented and had us fill out a sheet for each animals needs/vets/feeding/routine/specifics. She came out a week prior and did a complete and thorough walk through of the entire routine for each animal's A.M. and P.M. care. She followed up with texts and emails the day before her pet sitting time to make sure we were all set. Jennifer had to let chickens in/out of the coop, feed, gather eggs and make sure they were tucked in safely in their coop at night. She fed, brushed and even scooped manure from the donkey stall and pen and visited with the donkeys. She fed , took care of litter box, talked to and won over our shy kitty in 3 days time. Jennifer updated us every evening with a text to let us know how things were and even snapped a photo of our kitty and sent it to us. When we got home, Jennifer had picked up all of our mail and left us a detailed note on the pets and followed up with an email making sure we arrived safely and the pets were ok. We could not have been happier with Sunset Canyon Pet Care. We are already working out the details for a week long trip in July to use her services again. Jennifer is more than reasonable with her pricing and goes the extra mile to make sure she understands all of the needs of the pets. So happy we found Sunset Canyon Pet Care. Kay SW Austin 78737

The doctors at Sunset Canyon are good, kind people whose passion is helping us keep our pets up and running. They have many years of combined experience. I was a valued employee there from 1999-2011. As this part of Hays county continues to grow in leaps and bounds, so do the locally owned businesses, I feel the core values that began with Drs Amber and Lamar Crossland are carried on in the hearts of the doctors and staff at Sunset Canyon today. Thank you, Gary and Erin, for keeping my girl feeling good this weekend.

I've been attending puppy kindergarten with my four-month Labradoodle, Dahboo, for the past six…read moreweeks. I was hoping it would be a positive experience for him to socialize with other dogs, I didn't expect to have as much fun as I have going with him though. The class format is 15 minutes off-leash play interspersed with 5-10 minute guided on-leash sessions. You focus on one command each class with the idea being that you learn the basics of teaching the command and finish the training on your own at home. I like that the focus is on practical commands and not silly tricks (not against teaching those, just figure you can teach those on your own time). Our instructor, Bridget, has been great. I can imagine it's tough working a room with as many as a dozen or so pups running around, but she always took time to give everyone individual attention and make herself available for questions and practical answers. It's also a great way to meet other people. I'd often look forward to seeing some of the pup parents as much as their pups each week. Overall, it's a great environment for everyone and as an added bonus we attended the class held at Austin Corner Vet East, which is fantastic since that's also our vet. Dahboo's now excited to pull into the parking lot of his vet -- mission accomplished! :) We've enjoyed the class so much we'll be continuing on with the next class in the sequence and look forward to more fun working with Karma Dog Training as Dahboo works toward his therapy certification.

As a first-time puppy parent, I was somewhat unsure of what to expect with a new puppy, and the trainers provided excellent coaching and advice throughout our 7-week class. During the first class, Dexter was so nervous that he was finding every corner possible to hide in. The trainers coached us on the best ways to encourage Dexter to socialize and by the third week of class, he was eager and excited to play with all the other puppies. The socialization aspect of class was exactly what our shy puppy needed to come out of his shell. In addition to that, the training portion of the class was very helpful. Each class focused on one of the seven basic commands that puppies need to learn, and Darci provided very clear explanations of how to teach and reinforce each command. Then, we were able to practice and get feedback from Darci and the other trainers in order to help Dexter master each command. Finally, Karma Dog Training provides excellent customer service. Any time I have reached out with a question or scheduling conflict, they have responded within hours with a helpful and understanding response. Dexter can't wait to continue with the next level of classes at Karma Dog Training!
