She's a year old today and recently spent 3 days boarding (and training) with William and Claire. She came home with a great leash attitude, and got so excited at the next class when she saw William! I know she had a great time and loved being with them. I'm looking forward to continuing classes !!!

I have been working with the crew at Tired Tails for over a year now. William and Claire care…read moredeeply about dogs; it's obviously so much more than a business for them. Their group sessions are so helpful and we always have fun at their community pack walks. Their board & training is well worth it, as your dog is not only safe and socialized, but training every moment. My pup does weekly pack adventures with Katharine and she has created a unique set of skill development tools that have evolved with my dog's development. I would give 10 stars if I could.

Kelly is amazing with all animals, she's just got that gift. We had a big dog Zack that we…read morebasically only trusted with a few people, he was kind of senile in his old age, Kelly brought out the best in him and stood her ground with enforcing our discipline strategies. And now she is the part time dog walker for my dog Shelby. Shelby is high maintenance when it comes to getting attention and love, and Kelly is great with her too! Definitely would recommend her ! She has passion in her heart for animals and that is important when choosing someone to watch your family member

If you want a tired happy dog, send them to Natalie!! I have nothing but great things to say…read more Natalie is an amazing human being, absolutely knowledgeable about animal behavior, and very trustworthy. There are very few people that I trust with my animals, and she has 100% of my trust. I'm never worried when my dog is out with her because I know he's in good hands. He loves his pack walks and I love that he comes home tired and happy. How convenient is it to have your pup picked up and dropped off at home? Super convenient! Your dog will have a fun long day full of physical and mental stimulation! I highly recommend Dog Camp SLO!

Natalie is the absolute best and we feel so lucky we found her!…read more Our mini-labradoodle, Nora, needs a lot of walking to tire her out and Natalie's hiking routine is perfect for her. Plus socializing with the other dogs on the walks is an added bonus. Natalie also provides the sweetest little update emails every day with tons of adorable pictures. I can tell how much Nora loves it because she gets SO excited to see Natalie and the gang on Wednesdays :) Natalie is fantastic about communication, super organized, and even came over to meet Nora and see how she interacted with other dogs before their first walk together. We could not be happier!

I recently hired Linda while surfing at Pismo Beach. Initially I was a little nervous as I wasn't…read morefrom the area. However, my fears were soon set aside as Linda took my dog while I removed my board from my car and began putting on my wetsuit. Without me saying a word, she suggested walking my dog within eyeshot. Little by little, I started feeling more confident and was able to relax. Her suggestion of remaining close helped my dog to feel less worried as well as the yummy treats she fed her. What I found most remarkable about Linda was her flexibility. Like an expert surfer, she navigated the situation with ease, rootling through her trunk for a towel when I forgot one, finding water for my dog when she got thirsty, and safeguarding my car keys when I was in the water. All this while a wildfire was causing evacuations within a county of her house! Vacationing as a single person with a Border Collie is not without its challenges; thanks to Linda, I was in a better position to meet those challenges and have fun.

This was probably the WORST experience I've ever had with a pet sitter. I received a call from my…read moreneighbor while I was out of town letting me know that my animals had not been fed that morning and that although I had paid in advance for overnight stays nobody had been at my house the night before. The neighbors went out to check on my dogs who were out at midnight barking, the horses still had their fly masks on and NO pet sitter was at the house. I had pre-shredded hay for an older horse and put it in containers. My neighbors checked on the animals and let me know there were at least two meals that hadn't been fed. Katie had several excuses as to why it wasn't done, including the excuse that some wolf hybrids had gotten loose at another pet sit. I can understand needing to leave to find the missing animals but I don't understand why my animals were neglected in the process and NO phone call was made to me. I made it very clear that I could be reached at any time and that my neighbors were available for back up. Thankfully my neighbors were looking out for my animals and not only notified me but took care of my hungry neglected pets themselves. Emergencies can be excused but the lies and deception by someone I hired and trusted to take care of my pets are inexcusable! If you want to have peace of mind while you are out of town, do not hire these people! How convenient to be required to pay in FULL in advance and then not perform the promised service.
