I love Little Friends Pet Sitting & Dog Walking…read more I went out of town for Memorial Day weekend and had Devin come into my apartment to take of my cat Mia. Because I am a total helicopter mom. I had left instructions of how much to feed her, vet name and number, emergency vet number, etc. , etc. And this is after Devin came into my apartment and I had gone over everything with her! Devin texted me, took pictures and gave me a detailed description of how Mia was doing when I was gone. She cleaned her kitty litter, tried to play with her and even gave her treats! Mia hid from her but by the second day she actually came out of her hiding place. When Devin texted me that, it made me so happy! I did not worry at all about how Mia was doing by being alone because I knew that she was in good hands. I really enjoyed myself without having to be stressed out! It was so wonderful. I will definitely be using them again!

I can't say enough good things about Off Leash K9 Training! Our trainer, Lindsey, was incredibly…read moreknowledgeable and made the entire process fun and engaging for both me and my pup, Ashe. Ashe at 6 months of age can be a bit of a handful , but Lindsey took the time to understand his behavior and tailored the training to his needs. After just two weeks, we noticed Ashe's confidence soar. Ashe is now much better behaved at the park, and he's responding wonderfully to commands like "sit," "place," "heel," and "come." This is the second dog I put through Off Leash K9 Training, and they truly help build trust between you and your pup. It allows you to take your pup into the world and enjoy life rather than sitting at home alone. I also love how Lindsey emphasizes the importance of consistency and makes sure we're practicing the right way at home. I feel so much more confident as a dog owner, and Ashe seems happier too! I highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training of Charlotte to anyone looking to strengthen the bond with their dog and improve both their quality of life and behavior!

She edited her videos so we could see a lot of what they worked on each day. Claire really understood Shadow and his needs. At pick up, she did a great job explaining everything to us, guiding us on how to follow through at home, and loving on Shadow one last time. You could tell he was sad to leave her. Claire was so encouraging and loving towards him. Shadow's been home less than a week and because of Claire, he is behaving so much better. He's been able to off leash and not jump on people he's greeting. Thank you so much Claire and Off Leash K9 Charlotte!

Non existent customer service. Completely non responsive to emails, Facebook messages, phone calls…read moreand text messages. I'm not sure how she's been able to train anyone's dogs because she flat out does not respond. When I was finally able to get her on the phone (because she surely didn't call me back) she was rude. I thought hey whatever she's nearby and the class is affordable so I'll try it out. I thought I would be able to make this summer class work with my schedule but I have too many things going on to make it work. I reached out again the next morning via text (to the same number she sent me her address from) to let Carol Fox know that it wouldn't work and asked her when the next session started. Again my question was met with silence. I will gladly take my business to a company that communicates with potential clients.

She's turned what used to be a chore for us into time we look forward to spending with our dog.

Her training has enriched both our dog's life and our own.

However, Emma makes you feel so comfortable with the process and explains everything you need to know. During the pick-up sessions, she would send me videos of her working with Roo, which not only calmed my nerves, but also showed her progress throughout the process. Once we began the in home sessions, Emma took the time to ensure my husband and I understand the ins and outs of commands for Roo and gave us the confidence we needed to be successful for Roo. I cannot recommend her or Left Turn enough. We are so grateful for her working with our slightly difficult pup and teaching us all we needed to know as well. I wish everyone could hire her for their training needs!

Dani (Starshine Pet Sitting) is the best catsitter we've ever had in Charlotte (and we've had a…read morefew). She's excellent at providing regular updates to us when we're out of town, and we trust her immensely with our two cats. Starshine is a bit more expensive than others, but the peace of mind of knowing a professional is taking care of our much-loved furkids, and who seems to adore them as much as we do, is well worth it. I highly recommend Dani/Starshine if you like knowing that your pets are in great hands! The only downside is we are moving to Seattle and so will no longer be able to use Dani's services. Hopefully we find someone in Seattle we trust as much as Dani!

We love Doris Anderson with K-9 Bootcamp!!! My husband surprised me with a puppy for our 1 year…read moreanniversary while I surprised him with a trip to Greece. We found ourselves in quite the predicament, as he was too young to board at a kennel. We reached out to Doris and she made a special exception to accept him into her board and train program when he was only 10 weeks old... When she dropped him off after the program was complete, we had an 11.5 week old puppy housebroken and sleeping through the night with no crate accidents. What surprised me the most is that he patiently waits for you to open his crate and invite him out, he waits for you to invite him to go through the front the door and also waits in his "place" while you get his food ready. In addition to being such a patient sweet boy, he also knows how to sit, lay down, roll over, shake, spin right, spin left, leave-it, play hide and seek, and stay!! She also introduced him to swimming in her swimming pool and socialized him with multiple safe dogs and people. She was very responsive, professional and kept us posted daily on his progress and adventures. We felt at ease knowing he was in such a loving home. This is truly her passion and it shows through the wonderful work she did with sweet Chewy. We LOVE Doris and can't recommend her enough!
