    Tracy watched our pets while we were in Europe for a month, and she was fantastic! She sent lots of updates (which I really appreciated) and even took care of our plants. They looked better when we got home than when we left. When we returned, she had all the mail and packages neatly organized on the counter, and she even moved the cars for street sweeping and brought in the outdoor cushions when it rained. We're so happy we found her and will definitely ask her to pet sit again for our next trip.

    Tracy is the only one who took the time to work with my nervous reactive GG (60 lbs rescue) and has had great success in training her and walking her regularly without incident. She is a godsend as other trainers recommended medication as the only solution for her anxiety. Appreciate her patience and expertise to work with my sweet nervous girl. Xoxo

    My dog is now 10. Tracy has been taking care of him since he was 6 months old. Walking and boarding. I now live in Long Beach and drive 20 miles to leave him with Tracy. I often go places where she cannot contact me for periods of time. My little guy is my world and I feel safe when I am out of range knowing he is with Tracy. I was leaving the country one time and my dog had a sick tummy and Tracy still took him for me. He had some sick time and she was so gracious about it. There is a reason she has so many 5 star reviews. Tracy is a fantastic communicator and always puts the dog first. For me she is worth the drive. Just picked him up and already booking my next stay.

    100 pounds of fun!

    Tracy was terrific with our dog Grady. Grady does not like to be left alone. He stayed with Tracy while we were in Mexico and our mind was at ease seeing all the pictures of Grady and Tracy having fun. I highly recommend Tracy to anyone.

    Tracy and Delilah

    Tracy has kept my rescue mini Schnauzer on three different occasions this past year. The 1st time we were on an international cruise and my dog stayed with Tracy at her house. My dog is a rescue with special needs and generalized anxiety. Tracy took her to my house everyday to play and hangout to help with the anxiety. When we came home, Delilah was calm and happy. The 2nd time was last minute over Spring break and Tracy made every effort to accommodate Delilah. Again she came home a happy dog! We recently had Tracy stay in our home while we were overseas for two weeks. Since Delilah is older and has special needs, I was nervous and sad to leave her for that long. Tracy put me at ease and sent me updates and pictures everyday so I could see my fur baby was eating, relaxed at home and meeting new furry friends on her walks. Our house was immaculate when we returned home with all mail/packages inside stacked neatly! She' highly organized and good communicator. I'm so grateful we found her to help while traveling. There were times before I met Tracy that I wouldn't travel because I didn't feel comfortable leaving Delilah....not the case anymore!

    Peace of mind and a happy dog ! Thank you Fancy Tails !! We were nervous about leaving Cookie with a stranger when we needed to go out of town. Well we are not nervous any longer. Tracy, the owner of Fancy Tails, put an end to that. She took our Cookie into her home and made her feel a part of the family. She sent photos and videos daily and was quick to respond to any questions we had about Cookie. We were apprehensive about her getting along with Tracy's little Chihuahua. Again, no problem. All in all it was a great experience and we are so happy that we found Tracy and Fancy Tails. We won't be using anyone else !!

    After all these years, the only person I can trust with my dog is Tracy! He absolutely adores her and it gives me peace of mind he's taken care of when I'm out of town.

    Tracy is very responsible and clearly loves animals. I really appreciate that she sends me plenty of photos of my cat to reassure that all is well.

    Tracy helps me with my cat Chloe when we travel. I have complete peace of mind knowing I can rely on Fancy Tails to feed my cat wet and dry food, scoop the litter box and bring in important packages and mail. My cat always looks happy and house always so clean and tidy in regards to the cat areas and items. Love Fancy Tails so much. Thank you for always helping us.

    Tracy walks my dog Milo here and there as needed. Milo is a large breed dog so it takes someone who knows what they are doing to handle him as he pulls sometimes. I met her while out on a walk with my dog and she stopped us to give me pointers on loose leash walking and explained she's a dog trainer as well as a dog walker. My dog immediately liked her. She is reasonably priced, honest and great with my dog. We feel lucky to have her help us. Thank you Fancy Tails. You're a life saver.

    Happy Cats

    Tracy is top notch when it comes to pet sitting! She is great with our two cats and is always flexible with our schedule. Tracy always has a great attitude and is very knowledgeable! I would highly recommend!

    Crystal - Tonkinese

    Tracy is phenomenal and cannot recommend her services enough. Our senior kitty needed IV fluids while we were away and rest assured, Tracy, was amazing. She video recorded and documented each visit, in addition, spent quality time giving Crystal and her brother plenty of love and snuggles. Thank you for the peace of mind and 5 star service provided for our fur babies Tracy..... we highly recommend your services .....

    We had never used a professional pet sitter before, as our cat Harper is usually cared for by my…read morein-laws when we're away, so we were naturally a little nervous trying something new. From the very beginning, the entire process was easy, professional, and reassuring. Barbie, the owner, was incredibly responsive and took the time to answer all of our questions. We asked for her honest opinion about whether 15-minute or 30-minute visits would be more appropriate for Harper, and we really appreciated that she gave us thoughtful, unbiased advice based on his needs rather than simply recommending the longer visit. That honesty gave us a great deal of confidence that Harper's well-being was always the priority. Our sitter, Lindsay, was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, caring, and clearly took the time to get to know Harper rather than simply stopping by to complete a checklist. The updates after each visit were one of our favorite parts of the service. We received thoughtful notes and videos by text after every visit. We especially appreciated that everything came through text rather than requiring a separate app. The communication was outstanding and gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. We genuinely looked forward to Lindsay's notes and videos after each visit. Her thoughtful updates let us follow Harper's progress throughout our trip, and it was wonderful to see him become more and more comfortable with her. When she told us he had even let her pick him up, we knew just how much trust he had developed. When we arrived home, Harper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Lindsay even left us a thoughtful handwritten note and drawing, which was such a sweet personal touch. We couldn't have asked for a better first experience with a professional pet sitter. We will absolutely use this service again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate in-home pet care.

Let's be real, she's a young dog in a brand new environment surrounded by unfamiliar dogs. Of course she's going to be excited. That's exactly why people come in for these evaluations in the first place. If your facility isn't equipped to handle high energy or young dogs, that should be clearly stated upfront on your website. Instead, I paid $40 for what felt like a pre judged, rushed dismissal with zero effort to actually assess or work with her to get comfortable. What was more disappointing was the lack of care or professionalism. No one asked about her behavior history - other than does she not play well with dogs, supervisor didn't use her name, and she was immediately taken to the back with a slip lead and returned minutes later with a blanket judgment. There was no constructive feedback, no suggestions for training, and no guidance on how we could improve and come back. For context, she regularly goes to dog parks and plays off leash without any issues. Overall, the experience felt unwelcoming and transactional rather than thoughtful or supportive. Just a heads up for other dog owners, you may not get a fair evaluation or any refund if your dog doesn't fit their expectations. Which should be free, then if they pass you pay.

    5 STARS FOR OUR AMAZING TRAINER JOSH…read more 1 STAR FOR CORPORATE LEAVING US WITH ABRUPT ANNOUNCEMENT OF CANCELLED TRAINING SESSIONS. We had an absolutely amazing experience with Josh as Daisy's trainer, and we truly cannot say enough wonderful things about him. Josh was not just a dog trainer to us--he became someone we trusted, someone who understood our family, and someone who genuinely cared about Daisy and her success. From our very first session, Josh took the time to truly understand Daisy. He learned her personality, her behaviors, her challenges, and our family's concerns. He never judged us or made us feel like Daisy was a "bad dog." Instead, he was patient, compassionate, knowledgeable, and encouraging. He made us feel like we were finally on the right path. Having Josh come to our home made such a huge difference. He was able to work with Daisy in the environment where she actually lives and help us learn how to handle situations as a family. He didn't just train Daisy he trained and educated us as her family too. He always listened to our concerns, answered our questions, and made sure we understood what we could do at home to continue helping her. After only FOUR sessions with Josh, we saw an incredible difference in Daisy. She learned so much in such a short amount of time. Most importantly, she was finally able to coexist with our 3-year-old child and 7-year-old child in a way that we had struggled to achieve before. Now our children love Daisy, they play with her, and we are able to see them building a bond with her. Watching that transformation has meant so much to our family. Josh cared about Daisy like she was more than just another dog he was assigned to train. He genuinely celebrated her progress, understood when she was struggling, and always treated her with patience and kindness. You could tell that he truly cared about both Daisy and our family. We felt comfortable with him, we trusted him, and Daisy trusted him--and that trust is incredibly important when working with a rescue dog. Unfortunately, after our fourth session, we were informed that the company had decided to cut their Dog training program and that Josh would no longer be able to continue training Daisy. We were honestly extremely upset and disappointed. I feel that the company should have allowed us to complete the remaining six sessions of Daisy's training with Josh. We had finally found someone who was willing to understand Daisy, work with her, and help our family. It took a lot for us to get to this point, and stopping her training halfway through felt incredibly discouraging, leaving us out of the dark and what we were going to do next. By that point, we had built a relationship with Josh, and Daisy had built a relationship with him as well. Starting over with someone new after finally finding someone we trusted was very difficult for us. We wish the company had taken that relationship and Daisy's specific circumstances into consideration before making the decision to stop her training with Josh. The most frustrating part is that we were finally seeing the results we had been hoping and working so hard for. Daisy was learning. Our children were becoming comfortable with her. Our family was learning how to better communicate with and understand her. And Josh had become an important part of that progress. Although Daisy's training with Josh has unfortunately stopped, we are incredibly grateful for everything he accomplished with her in just four sessions. He gave Daisy a chance to succeed, and he gave our family confidence that we could help her become the happy, well-adjusted dog we knew she could be. Josh is truly an amazing trainer and an incredible person. His patience, compassion, knowledge, and genuine care for the animals and families he works with are very special. We just wish Doggieland had allowed us to complete the remaining six sessions with Josh. After everything our family and Daisy had been through, we finally found someone who understood her and helped her thrive. Four sessions made such a tremendous difference in our family's life, and we can only imagine how much more progress Daisy could have made if she had been able to finish the full program with Josh. Thank you, Josh, for everything you have done for Daisy and for our family. We will always be grateful that you were the person who helped us see just how much potential our Daisy had.
