Rambo
C M.

Tracy was amazing! My family traveled to Texas for 5 days. She took care of my dog Rambo. She messaged me every day and sent me live updates when she would go visit and feed him. She is a life saver! Thank you Tracy for everything!

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.

GG and Bear

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!

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.

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 !!

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 .....

Everyone is very helpful, training was informative, which lead to me never feeling uncomfortable branching on my own. I have had been lucky to work with great clients and their pups.

With a shy and anxious dog who is nervous of strangers and sometimes reactive to other dogs on leash, finding a trusted dog walker is no easy task. I found MMH on Yelp and gave them a call. Melissa called me back within 24 hours, and Sarah came out that week to meet me and my dog and assured me that Allison would be able to take care of our pup. As we still had a few walks scheduled with our previous walker, they even coordinated a time for Allison to join our old walker on one of their last visits and help our dog adjust to the change. Allison is amazing, and we are so lucky to have found her! She took the time to get to know and build trust with our dog. Our dog loves her, she sends the best photos and updates after each visit, and she really goes above and beyond to keep us informed of any concerns. We've worked with lots of great dog walkers over the years, but she is the best when it comes to communication. We have regularly scheduled weekly walking, but MMH has also always been able to accommodate our one-off requests. This is one of the benefits of working with a larger company. If we need a one-off walk, and Allison isn't available, MMH has always been able to find someone, and Allison regularly introduces our dog to other walkers so that there are multiple people who can fill in when needed. We've also used MMH for overnight, in-home care, and again, MMH has always been able to accommodate our requests and we've had positive experiences with all the walkers/sitters so far.

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.

Boarding is now (February 2026) close to $100 per night for a small/medium dog, which already places it on the higher end compared to other facilities. In addition to that, there is a flat $35 late checkout fee and a $25 same-day reservation fee! The added charges feel excessive, especially when availability could simply be declined if they are fully booked for boarding that day. (Like other facilities) Pickup and drop-off window times are very limited, particularly on weekends with verrry little flexibility. Communication can also be frustrating, as phone calls often go unanswered, and reminders about pickup times can feel overly aggressive. While the facility is aesthetically impressive, the overall cost and rigid policies, staff may not justify the value for many pet owners.

I brought my two rabbits in for a visit and ended up being charged for services that were never clearly explained or approved beforehand. One charge was $22.50 for "brushing out poop" from one of my rabbits, which is something I easily could have done at home. I wasn't given any notice that this would be a separate service or cost. They also added a "wound service" charge, which confused me even more. When I asked what it was for, they said they think one of the rabbits might have a soft spot and suggested adding softer padding in the bedding area--but they also said they weren't sure and that nothing else needed to be done right now. It didn't make sense to charge for a wound service when there wasn't a confirmed issue or treatment. My main concern is the lack of transparency. If a clinic plans to perform additional services or add charges, they should explain them and get approval before doing them. Pet care is already expensive, and clients deserve to know what they're being billed for. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling like unnecessary services were added without my consent therefore we will not be returning.
