I can finally relax during my time away knowing that my cats will be in the best hands. Natalia is very well experienced with pet care, she cared for my cat who was treated for cancer and needed medicine twice a day with no problems. She is extremely thorough during her first visit, taking notes of everything. She will send the best email updates, also very detailed with a run down of what her visit was like. Also - SHE IS THE BEST AMATEUR PET PHOTOGRAPHER! I'd give her 100 starts if I could! Best sitter - highly recommend

Figaro probably saw more of NYC than we did with Alex and Natalia taking him for frequent walks. He had a great time and was very well looked after and I am a worrying mom who is not easily pleased. But they EXCEEDED my expectations. Highly recommend them (and wish they would come to LA ). All photos taken and sent to me by Happy Pets to ease a worrying Mommy's mind. Very thoughtful!

They're both pretty shy and take a while to warm up to new people... but they don't hesitate or break stride when walking into Puppy Tale Lodge! They prance right in, which eases my mind and tells me just how kindly they are treated. And they have never ever gotten anything but fantastic haircuts. They even seem kind of proud when they leave! They smell amazing, too. I could not recommend them more highly. And Lily and Muffy do, too!

I will continue with his services any time I need to be on an extended trip. Thanks John

Fabulous family run doggy day care and boarding! There are not many people I would trust to watch…read moremy dog, Ruby, but Joel and team are my first choice (even over my friends and family!). Ruby has been going to daycare here for over 6 months and absolutely loves it. She also boards (and I feel strange calling it boarding) with Joel and his family -- in their home -- when I need to go out of town. Ruby knows the moment we turn onto 7th Ave that's she's going to City Tails and her tail starts wagging and she literally takes off, pulling me to Leroy street. From Ruby's excitement and my own interactions, it's clear that everyone that works at City Tails is incredibly friendly and truly cares about the dogs. Joel is also really flexible -- need to change your drop off / pick up time last minute? Need to head out of town last minute? Change of plans and don't need doggy day care that day? It's NEVER an issue!!! Oh, and Ruby always comes home exhausted! I honestly don't know what I would do without City Tails as part of Ruby's village!

I'm writing this review months after the experience because I wanted to see whether the effects…read morewould resolve and unfortunately they haven't. When my puppy was around 4-5 months old, I brought her to the FiDi location for a nail trim. I explained that she was a puppy and I wanted to slowly get her accustomed to grooming and ease her into it. I explained she doesn't do well when wired and asked that she be allowed to play with the other puppies first so she could exhaust some energy. That request was dismissed by the groomer and he took her out of my hands and brought her far into the back grooming area, completely out of sight. He didn't respond to anything I said and the receptionist intervened explaining he'll try. When he took her back to the grooming room, I could not see her or communicate that I wanted the service to stop. While she was back there, I could hear her barking, and her cries were screeching. I assumed the groomer would stop if she was that distressed, but instead the nail trim proceeded. She was returned to me with a small scratch on her face, frantic and trying to hide. The actual groomer didn't even bother to discuss what happened. I was then told by the receptionist that she may be too "difficult to groom" and should probably only be groomed at home, which felt inappropriate given that the service had continued despite her visible distress. This experience was traumatic not only for my puppy, but for me as a new puppy owner. Watching a very young dog in clear distress, feeling unheard, and having no ability to intervene was extremely upsetting. What's important to note is that she is now regularly groomed elsewhere and does exceptionally well. At her current groomer, she is calm, cooperative, and often falls asleep on the table. She is clearly capable of being groomed gently and appropriately. However, since this experience, she continues to struggle specifically with having her paws touched, something she did not have an issue with beforehand. I'm sharing this not out of spite, but out of concern. If a puppy is this distressed, the service should stop , not be forced. I hope this feedback encourages better judgment and handling so other young dogs, and their owners, don't have to go through the same experience.

Evelyn from Little Animal put me in touch with the most amazing Guinea pig sitter Nay. Our Guinea…read morepigs spent 2 weeks this summer in her care which included imaginative habitats, fresh veggies, monitoring of their health, and loads of TLC. Oh and she texted me videos of the ladies enjoying themselves -- eating hay, exploring, and devouring veggies! I don't think either of my ladies was interested in leaving their vacation spa when we came to pick them up. Then, I recently brought the pigs back for a few days -- One of my ladies was sick and Nay identified what she needed and gave her extras support that was so amazing that I just didn't know how to thank her. The ideas about habitat set up, which foods and water bottles work best, and so much more was learned from Nay. She a truly lovely person and I wouldn't hesitate trusting her with any small pet.

With that being said, I'm VERY happy with paws & Recs and the care that they provide for my baby while I'm away. He's been a total of 3 times and I am happy when he's there. Here are the pros: - SUPER spacious!!! I loveeeee the amount of room that there is for the dogs to run and play all day long including the back yard area. - They do really nice things for the dogs such as pool days when the weather is super hot. - My baby always comes back in a great mood and exhausted! He gets so much exercise and mental stimulation during the day. - You can get updates on how your dig is doing during the day by reaching out to Jenny or checking their Instagram stories. This makes me so happy as they regularly update their daily activities. - Lots of treats and water for the dogs during the day. - Staff informs you of their day at pick up :) You can tell they really care about your dog. - They have extended care hours if requested for reasonable pricing. - Super organized with cubbies for your dogs belongings so no mix ups there I highly recommend and we'll be back!

Paws & Rec has been so wonderful to work with! They were recommended by my veterinarian who also…read moreuses their service for her dogs. What I love about Paws & Rec is that they pickup the dogs for a full two hours. Your dog gets experience walking with their "pack" and makes other doggy friends they'll see consistently. They get a ton of off leash time in one of the various dog runs in the area. On each walk, they'll sometimes visit up to 3 different parks. Jenny was very easy to work with and setup a meet and greet with Jeffrey (my 4month old Goldendoodle) and her son Christian. My walker, Stan, is SO professional and awesome. He updates his Instagram with photos and an insta story during every walk so you can see footage of your baby running around and playing. It's awesome! During Jeffrey's first walk, we had a mini crisis with a faulty apartment key (my fault). Jenny and Stan were super professional, and brought Jeffrey to a nearby Paws & Rec sitter's house until I could run from work to pick him up. I was so thankful Jeffrey was in safe hands! They didn't even charge me for all their extra effort. I really couldn't recommend Paws & Rec more. Super professional, reliable, and trustworthy. *They also offer full day field trips to doggy friendly destinations!
