We are so grateful for our experiences past and ongoing with Alana and her excellent team. A key…read moredifferentiator is how their love and empathy is really in service of helping our pets thrive. A dog-walker could be a commodity; they walk your dog so you don't have to. But Alana and team designed a compassionate medium-term plan for our non-socialized just-before-pandemic pup to gradually introduce her to other people and other dogs. Now when they come to take her out, instead of barking at us about these scary intruders, she leaps into their vehicle with all the other floppy-eared frens. And as house-sitters, Alana (as well as her team) take care of our house (power outages! rain fall), tolerate our other dog's all-night restlessness, offer good suggestions about improving their routines, send us regular and fun updates, and just generally make us SO HAPPY that they are there taking care of our pets when we're away from home. Reliable, good communication, flexible, trustworthy, patient, compassionate people who LOVE PETS!

When we adopted our new girl, Alana sent the crew over to meet our scared rescue to make sure she would be ok with everyone walking her. We travel with confidence knowing someone from Posh Paws is headed to our home for the night to take care and stay with our pooches. Alana has been so easy to work with and is terrific about accommodating our changing schedules and high maintenance crazy dog owner instructions. When my dog got out of our yard due to a fence issue and we were out of town Alana was there for us! We trust Alana at Posh Paws and her folks with the care of the absolute most important thing in our lives - our three dogs. From overnight stays, to walks, to feeding and love. I highly recommend their services.

It's hard to know where to even start here. There are some people in life who clearly have a…read morecalling. Dani's is without a doubt working with dogs. When I first moved to her area, a neighbor recommended Dani to me, and I was a little nervous - pickups at my house without me there? No in-person visits to the farm? I was just supposed to trust this stranger with everything? Heck I have probably spent maybe 15 minutes max seeing Dani in person over the years (bc her team usually does our pickup) and yet I now trust her like family bc I have seen her put my dog - and all his unique quirks and personality - first, time and time again. - Pre-COVID it was amazing to find someone who could do pickups and dropoffs - I, like most people, can't guarantee a drop off on my way to work or even a specific pickup before 5pm, which made arrangements with typical daycares impossible. Knowing that my dog would be home and comfortable was amazing. - My dog - didn't like strangers before, was scared of the first team member to come pick him up - no worries, Dani moved the schedule around to make sure someone he was comfortable with was picking him up, even coming personally for some periods of time! Her team of dog lovers are also awesome - you can tell they're happy to see your dog too! - Neighbor moved, we were no longer super convenient for her route, she could have reasonably dropped us or raised our rates, but she stuck with us, going out of her way every day and never increasing our rates by a dime. In fact, she rescheduled our pickups around days that another dog whom Dani recognized as my dog's "best friend" could attend. - COVID hit, and for several reasons, we had to greatly reduce how often we could send my pup. Dani was there for us, accommodating around our life changes, payment timelines, scheduling needs, all completely outside her policies. It was obvious she made it personal at this point. It was all just her supporting my dog as his personal guardian angel. As we start returning to offices, I'm struggling to imagine going back to commuting without Dani. We are about to move, and Dani's service area was actually one of the top 5 considerations in our housing search. When we were unable to make that happen this time, Dani graciously offered to help us find a new option. She's in our corner and all about our dog's safety through and through. I can't recommend her enough. If your dog can join Heeling Star, you have to do it!

The best caretaker for my fur baby!…read more I can't say enough great things about Chantel and City Girls Dog Care! From the moment I reached out, I felt like my husky lab Kuma would be in the best hands. Chantel is incredibly responsive, kind, and passionate about dogs. Chantel and her team have looked after Kuma a few times now, and I'll definitely keep coming back. During my recent trip, I received daily updates and adorable photos that reassured me he was happy and well-cared for. City Girls Dog Care followed my care instructions perfectly. They gave him plenty of love and even went the extra mile by taking him on hikes. What really stood out was how excited Kuma gets whenever he sees Chantel. It's clear she has a true knack for connecting with dogs and training them.

Having my dogs be part of a larger pack several days per week really helped with their temperament and socialization. I really liked having the dogs with Kathryn and her team while i was at work, vs being cooped up at home. I give them the highest recommendation and will continue using them onwards into the future

She has more expertise, training and education than any other business on the coast and has the unique ability to read and sense a dog's body language. If you are seeking someone you can trust completely, Katheryn with Klaws Paws and Hooves is your answer. Echoing another testimonial: "When Katheryn Weaver cares for our dogs, we know they are in the hands of someone who is not only very responsible but who is also very proactive. She anticipates problems and solves them before they happen". Katheryn is also connected to outside training and behavioral resources in the area. I rely on KPH for day time doggy day care and short and mid term overnight boarding (she calls it under foot care!). I'm grateful to Katheryn. Without her help working with my very active little guy, I don't know where I'd be. Pat Lea
