Because I was going to manage a LOT of moving parts to get this guy back to Oregon! Both Angie and J were so available and kind and took a lot of phone calls while I wrassled with how to get timid Lou home (in cabin, in baggage); in the end Angie brought Lou to OGG curbside when I flew over from O'ahu and nabbed him, navigated security (GREAT KINDNESS from TSA people) and hopped back to HNL to catch my mainland flight! Can't say enough about these kind people. Lou is a wonderful cat, he's doing great, five weeks along since he's had food, love and care -- he's a normal weight, glossy fur, happy as a clam and having his true kittenhood, now that he's safe and warm!! Yay Angie and J! Mahalo nui.

To be clear, this review is limited to my observations at the dog evaluation. I can't speak to the…read moreactual boarding service. The owner met our dog and said she wouldn't take him. There is only one of her, and he has a lot of energy so this is understandable. However, her attitude and some of her training methods left me very concerned. My dog is terrified of everything. He is the type of Scooby-Doo dog who will leap in your arms if he hears a strange noise. He is also very weary of new people but has been socialized with other dogs under professional supervised settings his entire life, with no issue. Naturally when he first saw the owner he started to bark. Before I even had a chance to calm him down, she stated that he displayed "alpha" tendencies. This was within the first 30 seconds of meeting him. I attempted to explain that we have worked extensively with a trainer with a doctorate in animal psychology and that was not her assessment at all, but she ignored me, saying "he needs training." She then started talking about how he needs a bark collar. Admittedly these aren't shock collars, but between her use of the term "alpha", the discussion of a bark collar and her comment about "no treats" it suggests to me that her ideas of training are very different from mine. I prefer positive reinforcement, and tools like treats or toys the dog will enjoy, to inspire confidence and trust. Our dog did get to meet the other dogs, and aside from one time when he sharply barked once at another dog, and another time when he was starting to growl while initiating play (totally common in dogs, even Labradors) she freaked out. The owner proceeded to state blatant lies about how German Shepherds are the #1 biters (they're not, Chihuahuas are). As a person who has owned German Shepherds for over 30 years, I take great umbrage at her comments, not to mention that my current dog has no German Shepherd in him whatsoever. TLDR: If the owner didn't want to board our dog, that's fine. But to treat him like a red zone case ready to attack was not okay.

You know it is a good sign when we drive in and Lexi can't wait to get out of the car! It's a #LoveFest for sure. JT has that great balance of years of dog training experience along with being a friendly, easy going person. I guess it's easy when you know what you are doing! One other thing that is top priority for us is daily exercise. Knowing that JT has done several Ironman's, means she understands the importance of daily exercise for our dog. Our dog, BTW, is almost 13, but she still loves her twice daily walks!

One of the cats has pancreatitis and Jessica had to give her daily fluids. Two were recently rescued from being hit by cars - one has a broken hip and another just had an eye removed. Jessica handled all of the animals and medications perfectly. I have cameras around my home and property and it was such a joy to see her outside being crawled all over by cats, chickens following her around, everybody so happy. Her rates are incredibly fair and sometimes I feel like they're too good so I end up tipping her. She is really amazing!! Got daily reports also.

As an active, fun animal lover of almost 30 years (my entire life), I am passionate about caring for their needs in any way possible. Does he like the beach? Does she prefer to sit on my lap all day? Does she like to hike? The dog park? Is he special needs requiring full-time hands on care and medication? I can be there for any of your pet's needs while you are away at work, off island, on vacation, or just run out of time for that dog walk. I love taking them swimming, to the beach, hikes, long walks, or even just cuddling if that's what they prefer. While dogs are my passion, I also love cats and am conscientious of their combined independence/love needs. I extend my love and care to your pets by providing reliable, affordable and personalized dog nanny, dog walking, house-nanny, and pet-care services as well as by treating each one of them as if they were my own.

After we left, not only did she do an excellent job caring for them, but she sent us 2 updates per day detailing everything she did for the animals according to the instructions we left. She sent so many cute pictures, and it gave immense peace of mind to know they were happy and well taken care of. Not only that, but our home&backyard were spotless upon returning. It was worth every penny! We will be hiring Don't Sweat I Got Your Pet from now on!
