There aren't many trusted rabbit sitters in the area considering the area has far more dog and cat…read moreowners (I get it as we also have a dog and cat ourselves!) Our rabbit is very important to us so I set out to find the best possible pet sitter in the area for peace of mind, that was when I stumbled upon Furry Friends Pet sitting. We boarded our beloved senior rabbit (who is a very sassy bun) for 11 days as we had to leave for an overseas trip. Barbara is very great at communication from the first contact all throughout the duration of rabbit boarding. Questions are specific as in which veggies are most preferred, hay preference, vaccine and vet information. They also provided an enclosure with toys and hidey spots so all we had to do was drop our bun off in a carrier. She would send daily videos and photos along with detailed updates (like how she would lounge all day and snack on her hay and list the veggies she was fed). Barbara shows a lot of experience as she has a variety of veggies as well as regularly cleaning out the water bowl and tidying the enclosure. She would also spend time petting and changing up the toys and tunnels as well. Receiving texts on our bun was something I looked forward to during our trip as I would see how relaxed and comfortable she was! If you are looking for an experienced rabbit sitter in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to inquire here! Thank you so much for watching our bun! Photos below are from Barbara's daily updates.

I had dropped off two of my dogs (10yrs old & 2 yrs old) for a 7 day stay and within the 3rd day…read morethey started to have issues, and by then I didn't trust thwn to watch my babies. It was my first time boarding my dogs and I had trusted paws crossing to take care of them. I had printed out photos and details on both of my dogs and how to care for them. I constantly was watching the camera that was placed in their cottage and from what I can see, they were neglected. Barely any play time, walks, potty breaks, etc. I had booked their boarding stay with them because as listed on their website for the cottage I was paying for they would get walk, playtime and expected potty breaks. What really made me what to type up this review is how some of their workers handled the situation and how they were speaking to me. Theres communication between the employees on how the dogs should've been taken care of and when I called they gave me attitude. Since by the 3rd morning of my dogs staying there I noticed they were peeing and having diarrhea in their cottage that was left in the room with them for hours, I kept calling and no response or call back. I watched them clean it but their way of cleaning is taking a mop and smearing it all around leaving remaining residue behind. I have only seen one girl worker that actually took the proper cleaning measures and she was the only one that was professional. One last thing that really had be shocked was how after I had gave them permission to take my small 2 yr old dog to the MedVet next door since he wasn't eating, shaking and having a liquid stool, and after he was done with the medvet where he was there for hours they just threw him in the same kennel with my medium 10 yr old dog. If you know dogs they're going to smell different and like the vet and my small dog get attacked in the middle of the night as I watched and panicked from miles away and I called and no one answered the phone or went to check up on my dogs. Later the next day I thought everything was okay but later on I get a call that my small dog has puncture wounds all around his neck and near his eye, they have to send him to the medvet again. You would think since it's basically their fault for throwing in my small dog with my larger dog after knowing he was just at the vet and smells different to watch how they react to each other. And I was left with the medical bills for that and I had to have another family member pick both my dogs up after that since they don't seem to know what they're doing. From what I was told from the family member who picked up my dogs they kept complaining about my small 2 year old dog, the one that got attacked.

I only looked up IBOK's Yelp reviews after having an upsetting experience with them, which I think…read moreis worth sharing for others navigating the adoption process. I was initially very excited about IBOK, particularly their thoughtful two-cat policy, which made a lot of sense to me. They were also flexible and kind about my living a few miles outside of Santa Clara County. I was approved to adopt and the process started off on a positive note. After being approved, I was quickly directed to a specific pair of kittens who were older than I'd hoped for. They sounded wonderful, but while young, they don't look like what you picture when you think "kittens." Our family recently lost our 20-year-old cat, and my children, who are younger than that cat, have always hoped to experience raising kittens. The initial email recommending the pair was polite and said if we didn't feel they were the right fit, there would be many others to consider. I felt bad tentatively turning down the pair they suggested and said as much in my reply. They quickly let me know that I might have to wait a few months because it was not kitten season. What made the situation upsetting was what happened next. A few days later, IBOK posted about eight 7-8 week old kittens on their Facebook page, asking for foster help. I was excited to see young kittens despite it not being "kitten season" and I inquired if it might be possible to adopt a pair instead of fostering as we are probably not up to giving up kittens we've taken into our home! We got our last cat at this age. I also commented (in what I thought was a friendly way) that the kittens were all cute and that one particularly reminded us of our late cat. The response I received was unexpectedly harsh. Part of the text read: "As you were not interested in the kittens we recommended to you as a perfect fit, you may want to look at other rescues for your new kittens. Wanting kittens as young as possible isn't a characteristic we look for in our adopters. We want the best match possible for our kittens, and you do not seem to be looking for a match that would be in the best interests of our kittens. We're sorry, but you asked us for help in finding the right pair for you, and we did that. But you were not interested. You should be looking for the right personalities, not just how they look." This response made me feel hurt, stupid, and misunderstood, and I regretted commenting on the kittens' cuteness, as it was meant to be chatty and friendly. It also made me feel very judged for expressing a preference for younger cats, which I already felt bad about but hadn't realized would disqualify us as adopters. Despite feeling upset, I responded apologetically to her text (even though my husband suggested I simply reply, "Are you OK?"). I dislike confrontation and understood that they were not going to let us adopt, but I didn't want to leave on a bad note. I never received a response back. As someone who works with a horse rescue, I understand how those in deep in the trenches of rescue work are often overwhelmed and exhausted. Still, I think it's important to assume the best of people who come to you hoping to love and care for animals. My interaction left me feeling like one of the Dursleys, and it's going to take me some time to build up the nerve to approach another rescue group. I know I should re-examine my preferences too. I imagine that adopting through IBOK could go well if you accept the cats they recommend for you, avoid expressing preferences about age or commenting on appearance, and pass their tests. Their focus on finding the best match for their cats is admirable, but I think they could benefit from more compassion and openness when communicating with adopters. Especially after reading the other reviews, I'm sure many people would likely be willing to adjust their plans if guided thoughtfully. (I'm leaving 3 stars because I think that's the fairest option considering I only experienced one small part of the adoption process.)

We have a 7 year old, dog reactive, American Pitbull Terrier (Fidel) that has been enjoying…read more Brassy's Paw Army care for a little over a year now. My partner and I learned about Brassy's Paw Army through a friend who sought obedience training for his puppy and then continued to use their dog walking and active paws service after. We needed someone to watch our dog while we were away on vacation. However, we were skeptical of leaving him with someone who was under qualified or uncomfortable with a stubborn, and headstrong dog like ours. We also did not like idea of our little guy being boarded somewhere where he would be left in a kennel all day. For context: Our dog has received training from multiple trainers in the Bay Area and even completed a board and train program due to his dog reactivity. Needless to say, we are very aware that not everyone feels comfortable caring for a reactive dog. We are also not as trusting of just anyone to feel confident in caring for him as well. Having the background knowledge that Brassy also works as a dog trainer, we felt she would be a good option. We reached out through email and she was quick in following up through text. She connected us with Brizza who has been Fidel's main care taker in the paw army. We scheduled a meet and greet and then a few sessions for Brizza to walk Fidel (our dog) so they can become acquainted. We gave her background on the training Fidel had and the tools we use. He eventually started going for "active paws" sessions which gave us such peace of mind knowing that he was both getting time out of the house AND receiving much needed exposure/training with his dog reactivity and reinforcing his obedience training. They use an app to make it easy to book services and to also update us on what Fidel is up to. When we have had Fidel boarded with Brizza, we are so comfortable knowing that he is with someone who treats him like their own dog. She is so accommodating and truly loves our dog. Brassy's Paw Army is every dog parents dream come true!

He always comes home without any physical or behavioral changes and easily transitions back to home life without any issues. The price is reasonable for the high level of care the cats receive. Highly recommend The Kitty Hotel!

I hardly ever leave reviews, but I want to give hope to anyone who is struggling with their dog and…read morefeeling frustrated and helpless. The first year with my golden retriever, Luka, was extremely hard. He was a mouthy dog who had zero boundaries at home or outside. He would get excited or frustrated and grab/bite onto my shoes or clothes daily. Walking him became an impossible task because he was extremely dog-reactive, and he dragged me a couple of times while trying to chase another dog. Walking him also became a two-person job, with someone always on the lookout for other dogs so we could turn the other way. He also began to resource guard and snapped at my dad twice.. I had already spent thousands on another trainer and didn't have much success. I began to feel like this was just what life with Luka would be like forever. It got to the point where I felt scared of him, and the life I was giving him out of that fear wasn't fair to him. So I decided to try and get help one last time. I found Lori's page and after reading the reviews I became hopeful again. I took Luka in for an evaluation, and Lori recommended their board-and-train program. I can't thank Chelsea and Lori enough for everything they've done. I've learned so much about Luka, how to manage different situations, and how to better understand his behavior. We had training lessons throughout his board-and-train stay and afterward, because we are the ones who need most of the training! Chelsea did an amazing job with Luka. At home, Luka is unrecognizable in the best way. We can actually go on adventures outside without being terrified that we won't be able to handle him. Those who knew Luka before his stay and see him now always comment on how well he is doing. I cannot recommend Lori Hamilton's Dog training enough to anyone who feels like they've tried everything and is feeling discouraged. I am so thankful because it finally feels like Luka and I can start living life and enjoying everything around us.
