The video sent after was cute, very cool to see him playing in the grass and enjoying himself. What a fantastic save, we are so appreciative! Highly recommend.

Because of his training background, we felt comfortable leaving our girl with him and knew he would be able to handle her when she got anxious. Ultimately, we were able to enjoy our much needed get away to Dana Pt and experience stress-free dining and activities while there. Thank you, Bruce! We will definitely be calling you again!

Over the 4 years my brother has owned this dog, he has never trained or socialized him and the dog was becoming territorial and aggressive in the room at the facility. Bruce did an amazing job with the dog, restoring the dog's confidence and getting him to obey commands. Even when my brother refused to cooperate with the lessons, Bruce continued to think of ways to help the situation. I would recommend PetsFriendForever without hesitation. Bruce is wonderful with the animals and is very good at communicating with the owners.

She taught me how to look at my dog and pick up on the signals he was going to react to something, and then get his attention before it escalated to the point of barking and lunging. With continued practice at home, each session has allowed him to grow and improve. She even suggested going to a park together to expose him to lots of different stimuli which was super helpful. I can tell my dog is happier and more secure and I feel more comfortable walking him knowing he won't get out of hand.

I found her to be lovely, responsible, reliable, honest, and trustworthy. I've been using their pet sitting services for 2 1/2 years, now. Shannon takes great care for my almost 18 year old, Ragdoll Cat. My cat adores her! Although, she's a special needs kitty, Shannon assured me that they would take great care of her while I'm away. I have found their prices to be a little high, but this service is worth the peace of mind. They pick up mail, scoop cat litter, feed, water, brush, and administer medications. What they do not do is administer IVs, which my Kitty needs 3 times a week. I'm very happy with their services, and I gladly recommend them. I've dealt with Linda very little. Shannon is a gem! She responds quickly, while I'm away to check in, and sends me photos of my fur baby! Be specific on what you need for your pet or pets, and it'll get done, if they can do it. And book way in advance, if you know your vacation dates. They do get booked! While You R Away Pet Sitting are professionals, and I feel at ease with professionals! They are worth every penny!

When I first spoke with Lynn, she suggested that her son, Jared, meet Briar before we left. At their very first meeting, Jared was able to take Briar for a successful walk. We met with him several more times before our daughter's wedding, and with his calm, patient approach, Briar became more comfortable each visit. By the time we left for the wedding, Jared was walking all three dogs together--and Briar didn't even need her muzzle. I can't thank TLC, Lynn, and especially Jared enough. Jared was absolutely wonderful with all of our dogs, and his kindness, confidence, and understanding of Briar made all the difference. He completely eased our worries about leaving them while we were away, and we're so grateful that he'll continue helping us work with Briar. If you're looking for someone who truly understands dogs and goes above and beyond, I highly recommend TLC Pet Sitting. Thank you, Lynn and Jared, for your exceptional care and for giving us such peace of mind!
