They were reliable and made sure Birdie had the best possible time on both Saturday and Sunday. I received the cutest photos of Birdie playing with other dogs (great to socialize her at this age!) from both Marie and Emilee. I trusted them completely with my little pup and I think Birdie fell in love with both of them (mainly because they spoiled her so much!). I will not only use their pet services again in the future, I would absolutely drive the 1.5 hours to Monterey if I needed to go out of town and wanted to ensure that Birdie was with people I truly trust for an extended stay. You can't go wrong with Emilee and Marie and Sitters by the Sea. They treat your pet like it's their own and the comfort level I had leaving Birdie with them was as high as it gets!

Clean, thoughtful, expert, responsible, caring pet experiences. We found Wilf's Place by carefully…read morescouring pet trainers based on experience, professionalism, attentiveness, and kindness. We then went through a thorough in-person interview. Emma is kind, caring, and compassionate and brought the company's mascot, the adorably trained Wilfred. Wilfred looks like a plushie dog that has come to life and candidly demonstrates how a trained dog should act. Our dogs immediately took a liking to Emma and Wilfred and thankfully Emma took our dogs in spite of their rambunctious behavior when meeting Wilfred. Emma was prompt with communication and followed the meeting with forms to complete via email, and took attentive care to our questions. We left our fur babies in her care for 2 weeks. We got cute pictures regularly, and our dogs looked engaged, safe, clean, entertained, and happy. Upon our return home, everything came back cleaner than we sent it. This was both embarrassing (why didn't I clean that when I dropped it off?) and a surprise and delightful touch when you're tired from traveling. Please know that our senior dogs aren't easy: one has a bad heart and requires twice daily medication, and the other eats everything not nailed down. I know my dogs and I could tell that they had fun and candidly missed all the attention they got at Wilf's Place. They even got a bath and are better at sitting and obeying our commands than when we dropped them off. We have already booked Emma again for our next trip. If you care about your pets, care about sanitation, cleanliness, details, and your pet's happiness while you're on vacation, Emma is a great find.

We receive weekly written plans, which build upon previous weeks' lessons on forming good, dog- citizenship habits for our three-year-old Havanese. If we have questions, we can review our previous lesson plans or reach out to Emma via text. Emma saw our dog would benefit if he trained for a specific purpose. We are now focused on qualifying to pass the therapy dog test. Without Emma's weekly input we never would have understood how far our pup could expand his world. He is happier as are we thanks to Emma's patience and wisdom.

Delilah has been an awesome caretaker for our dogs!…read more We first met Delilah when she worked for Redwings Horse Sanctuary in Lockwood, CA. She worked there as the Equine Care Provider. She took exceptional care of the horses there. She then became a dog groomer and I would not trust anyone else with our precious dogs. She loved and took care of them like they were her own. When our late dog Boo couldn't walk very well anymore, she would come to our house and groom them both. We have moved back to our home state of New Jersey and we miss Delilah terribly! She always treated our 4 legged family members (equine and canine) with love and respect. We now groom our own dogs because we know that nobody will live up to Delilah. I highly recommend her for any of your animal care needs!

Excellent Dog Care…read more The review is long overdue but wanted to share for others who want to find someone who truly looks after your own furchild. In my case there were two furkids that needed varying care. Why I would return to Freya +'s: + Responsive. I needed day care services and even evening services while I had to attend an all day conference and participate in an evening event for a few days. Freya answered my calls and texts before the care, during the care, and after the care. + Timely. Always showed up on time when I had to rush off to an event + Caring. I judge how my two dogs react when she returned the following day. Dogs do not lie and they were happy to see her return. + Helpful. Often I had to rush in and out of my lodge while I had to attend an event and Freya made sure she could help me exit as smoothly as possible and minimize my dogs' separation anxiety + Senior care experience. I see that Freya was able to care for my senior dog who had more issues than the younger sibling. + Great feedback. She shared photos of my girls to just show me how they were doing that day while I had to leave them under her care. Overall I would not hesitate to have Freya take care of my senior dog and my other more lively furkid.
