When Viv takes them for walks or they stay with her overnight, she always sends pictures and reassures they're well and happy. Everyone in our building community knows Viv to be loyal, trust worthy and reliable. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my fur babies!

She makes every dog feel special! I wish I had the lives of these dogs! Definitely send your dog to Viv, you won't be disappointed!

The thing about leaving your pets behind is that you are always worried no one can care for them the way you do. Sylvia has put that thought in my mind to rest!! I had to fly to India for an emergency and had to book Sylvia last minute for my baby kitty Deanna. I was leaving her behind in our new home and Deanna is only getting used to the house. Needless to say I was anxious. After a debacle of missing house keys and nervously wondering if my baby was safe, Sylvia came to my rescue and calmed me while I was on the other side of the planet. She got my house locks changed and sent me a lot of videos and pics of my Deanna and only left when she wAs sure that my baby is safe and happy. This is exactly the kind of care all pet parents look for when we call for pet sitters. I can now rest peacefully (and I hadn't for 48 hours due to jet lag and the whole missing keys disaster) knowing my baby is in such good hands. Thank you Sylvia and Like home pet care!! I am so so happy I chose your services!! I give my own gold stars cuz that's what they deserve :)

We could not recommend PLD more!…read more My husband and I rescued our American Bulldog/Boxer mix, Clancy, in January 2021. Clancy is a very excitable and strong 65lb pup who was not great in the car, and would not be able to sit with us on a plane. So when it came time for us to have to go away for a weekend, around 8 months after we got him, we knew we had to board him. We went to some commercial boarding facilities (Camp Bow Wow was one) and were HORRIFIED at the experience. We watched for 5 minutes on the pup cameras and had them pull Clancy out of there immediately - 20 dogs per 1 staff member, running around, no structure, no care, no individualized support in what looked like an airplane hanger of crates. Thankfully, my husband had been following Steve's IG for a while, as he also is passionate about dog training and behavior (his mom a veterinary nurse and they have had bull terriers, boxers, and bulldogs over their lives). We reached out and they offered boarding options, so we immediately jumped to go to the initial training/evaluation session with Steve. We were NOT disappointed. First off, it gave us a wake up call on how lenient we've been with Clancy in regards to training/discipline following the passing of our our previous pup - and that dogs actually crave that guidance and structure. Steve advised us that Clancy was a classic "excitement case" and his excitement actually quickly turned to anxiety and needed to be addressed. From that session, we immediately implemented the techniques and approach advised by Steve and started to see a major difference and were on the right path. We never had to board a dog before so naturally we were apprehensive about leaving him. When it came time to drop him off at The Maddie Ranch, my husband and I came to the same conclusion - he literally could not be in better hands, if anything were to happen or he got sick, he is in the best place possible - with people who are there for one reason only: the benefit of the dogs. During their stay the pups get daily pack walks, private training sessions, and some play time. You get constant updates with photos and videos. You can also message the folks via the app they use and they reply within less than 20 minutes, they'll give you updates on how their progress is, for Clancy, how he's been doing with his excitement, his demeanor, and so on. They also give explanations into their training methods while he's there which helps us upon returning - and we always notice a difference in his behavior! It is hard to be calm and not excite him upon picking him up though, but we're working on it. We've now boarded Clancy at The Maddie Ranch 3 times, for different intervals, and we plan to again in January. Board & Train is the best option for our dog and I imagine it would be for all dogs. They get care, love, and most important structure which they so crave. Could not recommend PLD more, all of the staff have been awesome - you will leave knowing your dog could not be in a safer, and not to mention beautiful place. Thank you to Steve, Dana, Christian, Cassandra, Jay and everyone else! Also a huge thank you to Devon who has been so accommodating and lovely when scheduling/planning all of Clancy's boarding sessions!

Our little yorkie Odin developed aggression towards new people and dogs, and was getting worse over…read moretime. We've gone through 6 trainers over the years and Steve was going to be our last resort. We signed up for 3 sessions, and within 5 mins of our first meeting, Steve was able to assess Odin and us as owners, and gave us clear and direct feedback. We quickly learned Steve had a completely different method than our past trainers, who were teaching us how to train the dog, when actually we needed to learn to fix ourselves. It was everything we needed to hear (especially me as Odin's mom). My biggest take away... if I change, Odin will change. We learned so much about ourselves, and Steve taught us what it really means to be a dog lover. Yes, he is pricey for the average people like us, but believe me, he made the biggest difference, and was the best investment we made in ourselves for Odin. Steve is like a dog psychologist, behavior expert, life coach, and therapist for humans all in one... and he's funny too! We love Steve, his super amazing assistant Kelly, and his entire team so much, we wish we could hang out with them everyday! We are so grateful to them for opening our eyes to a whole new world of dog psychology. We hope this was helpful, and that you reach out to them if your dog needs help. Tell them Odin says hi!

This explains why i rarely go on a real vacation Whenever i have gone away i have been fortunate to have someone stay in my home with him. I moved back here 3 months ago and had a chance to go away last weekend BUT...what to do about my kid? I dont have a sitter yet and friends and family are too far away to stay over. Boarding him was NOT an Option. I found BCC and reached out to Dania. She was totally amazing! Came to the house to meet J - we went for a walk together so she could see what a brat he is and she told me about her company and the sitters who work for her. To say Dania LOVES animals is an understatement. U can tell how passionate she is about their well-being and you just know that she would never have anyone on her staff that she wouldn't trust to take care of her own kids. Mind you this was only 3days before i was hoping to go away. I asked if she would be able to accommodate and she didnt even blink! She set up meet and greets for me with a couple of her sitters and they were both awesome. Kimberly is the one who drew the short straw with J . I hope shes ok but i can report that She spoiled him more than i do! She even let him sleep with her and he IS a blanket hog Dania and Kimberley were super respectful of my home AND Dania's is the first sitter service i've had that provided me a copy of her insurance and DL as well as the girls'. I didnt even need to ask. Kimberley walked J in the am gave him breakfast returned for midday walk then back for dinner, walk and bedtime. She even fed my chatty cockatiel AND washed dishes WHAT??? Dania Kimberley and I were in contact through the weekend via text and Kimberley sent several pics of THE KING! BCC also offers daily walks which we will be using on days I need to be in the office. Payment is easy - Dania sends invoice and offers several ways to pay (we used Paypal). Now that i've found BCC im going to be taking more vacations!!! As for J? He keeps hinting that he cant wait until i go away again - hes staring at my suitcase as i write this review. Thanks Dania!!

We are lucky to have found him (by word of mouth originally) and we highly recommend him!

Our "corporate" walking service had permanently shuttered without notice, leaving us out in the cold. When I apologized for his conduct, Mark replied "no problem--I take care of animals for a living." I promptly took Mark's business card and he's been nothing short of a lifesaver ever since. Overnights, mid-day walks, longterm stays, Mark does it all, including feedings and prompt updates with photos. I couldn't begin to count the number of times each such service had to be requested on short notice and Mark was able to come through. If that weren't enough, my dog--a rescue-- has considerable behavioral deficits. Because of this, there are about 4 people in this world to whom I entrust my furry friend with complete confidence. Mark is one of them.
