Brian has been an enthusiastic, conscientious pet owner and business person for many years. I…read moretrusted him with my dog and cat who have special needs - or should I just say they're spoiled? - And he came through perfectly. He was recommended by another pet sitter who was too busy to help me and he responded right away, was very professional, and best of all showed up and did exactly what I asked him to do and more. I think my pets liked him better than they like me - although he isn't a slouch about rules and discipline. He just has that something, so I guess his business name is perfect for the service he renders. I asked him to first come to my home but now that I know him I would feel comfortable boarding my pets with him as well.

What can I say about Chelsea Um she knew more about my cat…read morethan I did She had to teach me basic stuff like IVF on a cat and I am a nurse of over 10 years. She loved my cat more than anything She found a replacement on days she couldn't be there My cat felt like she could communicate w her. My cat bit her- and as she put it was done.

As I've moved around Northern California, I've been able to continue classes with Georgeanne. I've…read moretaken 4 dogs through her class starting at Santa Clara Dog Training Club. Georgeanne was one of my first instructors, and waaaay back then, many of the instructors were still using force training like pushing dogs into downs and sits. I can get any 8 week old puppy into a sit in 2 seconds so on earth would you ever need to push an adult dog into a down? Georgeanne was before her time, using praise and allowed her students to bring treats to reward the dogs-but, she's not a cookie pusher trainer. I learned a lot from Georgeanne and was able to show my dog in obedience which in a million years I never thought I would, or could because my dog didn't like being close to other dogs. After her classes, my dog learned to ignore other dogs and pay attention to me 100% of the time. A lot of trainers are set in their ways, and if you don't do it their way, then they don't like you as a student. I've quit many classes because of that. Georgeanne is different. She's sweet, patient, and never judges you. She'll also be honest with you. My last dog was pretty wild, and wasn't ready to go off leash for heeling. Georgeanne will tell you when is the right time for your dog to go off leash heeling and recalls. Nothing worse than having a loose dog disrupting the entire class. Georgeanne is talented trainer and also a good people person.

Buster is a rescue dog, who hasn't been around other dogs much, so we weren't sure how he would take to a new place. But from the moment we got there, his tail didn't stop wagging! Absolutely beautiful facility, designed for the dogs' comfort. Pens are air conditioned, with fans running to help beat the heat. The dogs even get ice water when it's hot! They have individual, indoor/outdoor pens that are clean and comfortable. I highly recommend Pick Me Up Ranch! We didn't take advantage of it (this time), but I see they also offer dog bathing. Thank you Jason and staff for offering such a wonderful service! I'd give you 10 stars if I could! We will be back!
