Not a cold environment like an animal shelter, this kind lady takes lucky dogs into her home and makes them part of her family. Warm and inviting she has opened her home so when your best buddy needs to have care during the day while you are at work....or stay longer while you are away on a business trip you simply could not hope to find a kinder soul to look after your furry friend.

From the owner: I have been professionally working with animals for nearly 20 years. I enjoy building a bond with…read morepets and gently working with them to build trust and respect. My specialty is adventure outings, where I take a small pack of well-behaved dogs out to a nature beach to run around and play. I pick them up from their home, supervise them having a great time, and towel dry them before bringing them back home. If your dog isn’t trained off-leash and you’d like for them to be, I can help! I use positive reinforcement and consistency to make progress. The first step is to build trust and a bond, and to show that coming out with me will bring great fun and rewards. When the time is right, I can slowly start to allow them to have more freedom, while training vital recall skills. If you feel your dog isn’t a candidate to go off-leash, I can also do leashed hikes, neighborhood walks, drop-ins and pet transportation to vet and grooming appointments. I have experience with newborn puppies all the way to geriatric and special-needs. Check out my website for more information, and feel free to text or email with questions or to set up a time to talk.

This has given the most valuable service ever. I don't think you can find a more responsible, loving and dog-friendly service/owner than Keren. Absolutely worth it! My dog Tico loves to go his "Home Away from Home". He loves the house, the yard, and the other dogs to party with. Tico was a rescue and Keren and her family have dealt with his quirks beautifully. Keren (pronounced like "Corine"), is a special lady who understands dogs. She was able to get Tico on much better recall, thus, he does well on the beach off-leash days... which he loves more than life itself. I totally trust Keren to let Tico have a good time, but she knows the boundaries. Her instincts are great. And the bottom line is that he LOVES when I drop him off: he's like "Bye Felicia!" LOL Thank you Keren and family for your great care and awesomeness!

Jillian did an amazing job with our Shiloh Shepherd puppy! He did a 2 week board and train program…read moreand came back a new pup. Jillian made sure to focus on our pain points, practiced both on and off leash training, and gave us regular updates on his progress. The best part was she spent 2 hours with us when we got back to get us comfortable with the commands and what to do in certain situations. Would highly recommend her!

This place is special for my dogs (Hammie and Nilla) and it brings our family so much peace of mind…read moreto know that Megan is caring for them. We met Megan before the pandemic when searching for an off leash trainer for our older corgi. After a 2 week boot camp with Megan, Nilla was a different dog (in all the right ways). She was still loyal, loving, and attached to her family, but she was also obedient and finally a pleasure to walk and take to busy places like parks and shopping centers. When we got our second dog it wasn't even a question.. He went for training as soon as he was past puppyhood. Beyond training, Megan has cared for our dog while traveling for many weeks. Even though she lives well over an hour away from my home, I gladly make the drive - Because she put in the time to build a relationship with my dogs. They love her and I know they are safe and happy with her. They always come back a little more well behaved too :) Thanks K9 Approach - so happy we found you! Hammie and Nilla await the next adventure with you Megan! PS - all photos were sent by Megan during various trips and adventures with K9 Approach

We'll absolutely be returning.

Sky has WAY too much…read moreenergy and my thought was to get him engaged in some activity that he needed to slow down & concentrate...Dave was the perfect trainer for just that. Not only did Sky learn to follow a track, he learned to slow down and take direction from me. This has proven to be a VALUABLE lesson, as he now looks to me for a cue, instead of doing 'crazy dog.' Dave helped me communicate with Sky and that has carried with other through other training. That communication is the key, and Dave taught me so well!

Amazing! Mary was absolutely wonderful with my Australian Shepherd. I originally found her through…read morea local Facebook recommendation page, and now I completely understand why so many people speak so highly of her. She was extremely responsive, communicative, and took the time to explain help me learn about my Aussie. Mary did an incredible job gently cleaning my girl's overgrown undercoat out without rushing the process. You can tell she truly cares about the comfort and wellbeing of the animals she works with. She also took extra precautions with my Aussie's sensitive hips, which meant a lot to me. She looks healthier, happier, and so much more comfortable. Her coat is soft and beautiful --plus she smells amazing. Highly recommend Mary if you're looking for someone experienced, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring with your pets.

She took the time to understand my pets' unique needs, personalities, and routines. Whether it was feeding schedules, playtime, or simply offering comfort and companionship, she handled everything with remarkable attentiveness and care. One of the standout qualities of Melanie is her exceptional communication. She kept me updated with daily text messages and pictures of my cats, providing peace of mind while I was away. It was evident in every update that my cats were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. My cats adore Melanie. It is clear that she has a genuine love for animals and an intuitive ability to connect with them. I have also been impressed by her professionalism and reliability - always punctual, respectful of my home, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. I wholeheartedly recommend Fluffed Petcare to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and capable pet sitter.

A huge plus are the daily updates. The photos and descriptions of interactions are so reassuring and fun to get.
