It gave us such peace of mind to know that Christy and her crew were visiting him and giving him love and ear "scritches". I recommend The Unleashed Pet for anyone who needs pet sitting services.

He is very shy and isn't very friendly towards new people so it's nerve racking to find a place where you feel he will be cared for properly and loved in all of his grouchy Chihuahua glory! Once you get through that part he is a love bug. We went to the local PetsMart and had a bad experience just talking to the people there and knew he couldn't go there. That's when I looked on Yelp and found this place! It had great reviews and I saw that they had experience with Chihuahuas! It's nice to know my dog would be staying in a home(with lots of space and a big back yard) with experienced people who loved animals! So much better then a cage! I was very nervous when I dropped him off....ok I cried! Do you think he's spoiled???!!! Beth helped me feel so much better because she took the time to send me photos, tell me how he was doing, and talk with me while he was staying with her. After the first photo I immediately felt at ease and thankful we made the decision to leave our dog here. I really appreciate that Beth takes the time to do this and it really shows that she cares about animals and her job. I feel comforted to know that my dog has a safe place to go the next time his "parents" are away!

Brianna is extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior and psychology. She explains the root cause…read moreof any issue you may be having and doesn't just address the symptoms, but helps you to address the root cause. I love her philosophy of calm dogs and she has helped me and my puppy a ton over the last 6 months. She truly takes each dog as it's own case and works to find tools that will work best for that specific dog and owner, which I really appreciate. My puppy has been pulling on walks and we are working on impulse control - she has helped me frame my approach with my dog and move toward calmness in everything we do. I would highly recommend her services to anyone struggling with any dog issue! She also provides a lot of resources on her social media and always is friendly and responsive when you reach out to ask follow up questions. It honestly is a great rate for the level of service she provides.

We interviewed a few dog sitters that just weren't interested in working with a dog with "issues", but Thomas took on the challenge and we are the lucky winners of his doing this. I can't thank him enough for now letting us have vacations again and not having to worry about Carter at the Kennel (he never was happy there) or at home alone with just some one letting him out. He had 6 mile walks, lots of TLC and supervised play dates. Giving us peace of mind to enjoy our vacation. Thomas had the insight to work up to gaining Carters trust and knew just how to work with a large scared dog. I would recommend him highly.

They also shared updates with me through the day, with pics and i just felt at ease. So happy to have found them and we will use their services in the future for sure!
