We love Fire Hydrant Pet Sitting!…read more My husband and I have been using Fire Hydrant for dog walking and pet sitting for a little over a year now. We have two medium sized dogs that we rescued from South Korea. As a result of their previous lives and travel history, our dogs are pretty reserved, anxious, and not particularly sociable to other dogs or people. It takes them a while to warm up and this requires a great deal of patience and effort. On top of that, they have separation anxiety from one another. We knew there would be times that we were out of town and needed help outside of our family, so we started dog walking with Fire Hydrant to get the girls accustomed to the walkers. Prior to our walks, Fire Hydrant was great with the initial interview asking where everything was, how the process usually works, any allergies, etc. The first few walks I chose to walk with Denice to share some quirks and share any additional info that might be helpful. This was probably over excessive on my part but Denice was so kind and reassured me they'd be in good hands. In the past year, we've been able to work with Denice, Taylor, Stefy, Annika, Deanne, and Amy and our girls have become used to and love all of them. I no longer worry when we're traveling or stepping away for an evening and can enjoy my time fully knowing that my dogs and home are well taken care of by the Fire Hydrant team. They share the exact route they go on and plenty of photos during their visits. Any pro tips I can give to other fur parents who may have anxious pets would include: - Provide high-value treats the team can use with every walk in case of an emergency or as needed - Share any quirks or anxieties your pet(s) may have with the team. This helps and all the FH team members have been so thoughtful to remember my many pages of notes - If your pets take a while to warm up to new people, start ahead of time and continue to slowly introduce them bit by bit. This will help!

That meant so much and really showed how much they care. The whole process has felt very supportive and hands-on. I'll be honest..it was hard for me at first to leave Zoey for boarding, but they made it so much easier with constant updates, videos, and clear communication. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they work with. They are incredibly knowledgeable and take the time to explain not just what to do, but why it works. I really appreciated how they included me in the training process and collaborated as a team. What I'm most grateful for is how much confidence they've helped me build..not just for Zoey, but in myself as her owner. Because of them, I feel more comfortable taking her out, interacting with other dogs and people, and truly enjoying our relationship. Zoey absolutely loves them..she gets excited every time she sees them and is always ready to go with them, which says everything. I'm beyond thankful for their flexibility, support, and the love they've shown Zoey. I can't recommend them enough.

My family and I had such a great experience working with Kristin and Manny at MTM K-9! We cannot…read moreexpress enough how grateful we are to have found such caring and dedicated trainers for our very anxious doggie, Squirty! When we first rescued Squirty, the shelter told us he came from an abusive home and therefore was very timid and afraid of essentially everything. We knew we would have a lot to work on, but his sweetness and gentle disposition won us over. In the 2.5 years that we had him, he made a lot of progress on becoming more trusting and less fearful in our home. However, getting him outdoors was still a battle. Every little outdoor noise scared him and he would use all his strength pulling on the leash to find a hiding spot or get back inside the house. Every walk attempt was a dreaded struggle and I'll admit we began to put in less work in making him go outside to walk. To make things worse, our already big boy (pitbull) started gaining more weight from the lack of exercise and our lax food/treat giving. We saw that he was starting to become more lazy and that this was leading to an unhealthy and unfulfilling life for squirty, and a change needed to be made! We took the leap to seek out professional help, and thank god we found just what we were looking for in Kristin and Manny! Right from the start they very responsive and thorough in answering our questions and walking us through the different types of programs they had. We ended up going with the Modified Board & Train 6 week program, and we are so happy we chose this one over the less intensive options! This gave Squirty 3 whole days of weekly training and bonding time with Kristin and Manny. The pickup and drop off service was so convenient and Squirty was noticeably more eager to go to school and see his trainers each week. The amount of patience, compassion, and dedication that Kristin and Manny gave Squirty was clear from the very first week of training. Our big boy was a tough case and had so much fear to work through, but they took their time with him and always came up with solutions that kept him progressing and reaching new milestones. They not only educated and built Squirty's confidence, but ours as well! We learned so much from them on our end of week sessions and we felt so supported on our training journey the whole way through. By the end of the 6 week program, Squirty had lost 10lbs, responded to a whole list of commands, and was now going on mile+ walks! He's now so much more energetic and willing to explore the outdoors. My family and I are forever grateful to Kristin and Manny for helping us implement this change and for creating a new hopeful and healthy future for Squirty! We highly recommend MTM K-9 to anyone else who is struggling with their fur baby! You won't be disappointed!
