Finnegan was a high maintenance, medically difficult, adorable pug. Vincent was very gentle with him in his final days and could help me on a moment's notice. Now that Finn is gone, Vincent has helped Penelope adjust to being an only child and has helped her to socialize with some of the other dogs. She really only liked her brother but I'm grateful that she is learning how to interact with the other dogs in the neighborhood. I highly recommend Vincent to anyone needing dog walking or dog sitting.

Ever since my older dog was diagnosed with diabetes, it has been so stressful trying to find someone I can truly trust to care for her. I knew I needed someone reliable while traveling out of the country, and I'm so grateful I found this company.

It was such a relief to be able to fully relax on my trip knowing my dogs were being loved and cared for as if they were her own. Highly recommend!

As first time dog owners, training was a top priority for us. We have a pretty high energy puppy…read more(as most puppies are), so we wanted to make sure he started training early on. We also didn't want to go to a group lesson where we would have to re-teach "sit" 20 times if one dog didn't figure it out and ours did. All I can say is that Ryan was the best decision we could have made for training. Our 6 month old goldendoodle just finished his puppy training and is such a good listener now! Since training, he now: -Waits at the door and for his food -Stopped hopping on the top of our couch -Can sit & stay in busy places (one of our trainings was at Fashion Island during holiday time) -Walks with us and rarely pulls on his leash -Can sit, lay down, spin around, crawl, wait, etc. -Goes to his bed or crate when we tell him Ryan is quick to respond over the phone and truly cares about each of his clients' training success. He would sometimes call us in between trainings to check in & see if we were having any training issues/how training was going. I'm certain that if you go through Ryan you will 100% see a difference in your fur child!

I actually felt like training was fun(?!) and our girls were already making massive progress in the hour and a half we spent together. Ryan has a way of making you and your dog(s) feel totally comfortable and confident. He is extremely knowledgeable, energetic and ready to answer any question or concern you might have. Positive Reinforcement training is absolutely the way to go in our experience (we tried other methods but it just stressed everyone out). We HIGHLY recommend Ryan and look forward to building a great relationship with he and our pups in the future. Really looking forward to our next lesson! Thanks again Ryan!
