Unfortunately, my prior dog walker dropped me like a sack of potatoes when the pandemic started…read more Due to my pup being a rescue it takes him time to warm up to a new walker and I was frustrated with other walkers that had the lack of confidence or training to walk my dog. My dog is like my son and he means everything to me, so I'm sure anyone would agree finding a walker who is a fit isn't easy. Thankfully, Kristy came to the rescue! She is so sweet and gentle with my dog! My dog tail wags and he jumps for excitement whenever she comes by for his walks. I get daily updates from this walks and Kristy even goes so far as to close my all windows and turns my ac on during the hot summer days. Due to the abusive history my dog had before I recused him, he would run hide from walkers, but not Kristy! He absolutely loves her!

I was looking for someone to check in on my two cats while I was away on vacation. Usually, I would…read morejust take my chances, leave them alone and hope for the best. But since this vacation was longer than normal, I really wanted peace of mind. I just needed someone to make sure they had fresh wet food and water, cleared litter, and that they weren't tangled or trapped in something while I was gone. Although it had no previous reviews, I decided to take a chance and contact Happy Houlas. I emailed Kristy and she responded within the day, and we later arranged for a meet and greet. A first meeting is super important to me, especially since you're trusting a complete stranger to enter your home while you're gone. I found Kristy very friendly, warm, and responsive throughout, and was flexible in working with the schedule I laid out. Working with her directly and through her web portal made the arrangements very easy. In the portal, there are some standard permission-type forms that need to be completed before the first day of service. There are also areas where you can give specific instructions and list any special needs or considerations you have for your home or your pet(s) (it's a good idea to use a lockbox). And you get the final quote quickly without obligation. She visited the house each day that I had instructed her to, logging in each visit to the house by emailing photos of replaced cat food, cleared litter box, and a short synopsis of each visit. My cats run and hide from strangers (I told her to expect this), but she assured me that she had seen them at least. Although I did not ask her to, she even gathered the litter into a bag and set it in my garbage bin outside so that the odor wouldn't fester inside the house. And as a nice personal touch, she put in a furnace filter deodorizer so I could return to a fresh smelling house (Heck, I don't even do that). This was my first time paying for a pet sitting service, but I was very happy in choosing Happy Houlas, and feel more confident that I can take longer trips in the future. I believe Kristy's specialty is dogs but she did a great job caring for my cats. I would have no problem acquiring her services in the future.

One of the most disappointing service experiences I've had in a long time…read more I hired this dog walker because, as an older woman, I need occasional help making sure my dogs get the exercise and care they need. Unfortunately, I left this experience feeling like I paid for a service that was never properly delivered. After being told my dogs had been walked, they came home and immediately urinated and defecated throughout my house. Any dog owner knows that isn't what you expect from dogs that have just been given a proper walk and enough time to relieve themselves. I spent more time cleaning up after this "walk" than I would have spent taking them out myself. My dogs also returned home exhausted from the heat, which only added to my concerns about how they were handled. Instead of feeling reassured that my pets were cared for, I was left wondering what exactly I paid for. Communication was poor from start to finish. Questions were met with vague responses, and I never felt like I was getting clear or professional updates. I was also surprised to be asked to provide poop bags. If you're charging people to walk dogs professionally, bringing basic supplies should be standard practice. The most frustrating part is that pet owners are placing trust in you when they hand over their dogs. That trust is earned through professionalism, communication, and results. Unfortunately, this experience fell short in every category. If I could leave zero stars, I would. In fact, I'd gladly trade the single star on this review for the number of piles of dog poop my son and I had to clean up after my dogs got home. At least then the rating would accurately reflect the service I received. My dogs deserved better, and so did I.
