I was nervous at first handing over my house key, but after my first getaway I was sold. He left a great note about his experience for the week with our pets (& suggested I read "The Dog Whisperer" for our crazy Lab), so I knew he took the time to really get to know them. He also collected my newspapers without my even asking. Our beloved lug lab, Marley, recently passed away, and I felt I needed to share it with Kurtis. So that tells you that I know he actually formed a relationship with him. Even though Marley is gone I've got Kurtis booked for 4 weeks this year to check in with our old cat and new kitten, and give them some TLC. Try House Calls, better than a kennel any day!

He gives her medicine every morning, which is very important for our 19 year old kitty. It's also reassuring that he's at our house once a day while we're traveling, and he takes the bins out for trash day. It puts our minds at ease. He also has a really great backup cat sitter in case he's ever traveling, and he's also very good and reliable. They've come through in a pinch when we had to make last minute travel plans, and we were so relieved to know we didn't have to worry about our girl!

Bev has done house checks while we were away, cared for our dogs and cat, taken our dogs out on regular walks and now takes Birdie out most days of the week on outings. Bev and her team have ALWAYS been dependable, friendly, professional, and just really care for the animals. They send us visit notes and pictures each time she or one of her team members is with our animals and she has a very easy-to-navigate site for scheduling, invoicing, communicating, Bev's East Bay Pet Care LLC is the best!

When I pulled up a younger male (long hair) was a bit standoffish and looked at me like I was insane asking if I could come check the facility out. I honestly felt like I was being shamed for so much as asking to come see where she would be after I dropped her off or meet any staff. I guess we are supposed to hand off our dogs through the car window on a rather busy street, to a virtual stranger? No lobby or anything? He said I could look at pictures online, but I have never had a boarding or daycare place gate keep their space like that.

I was always surprised when I would pick them up and they would be very wet, sometimes soaking wet. I was under the impression this was because it can be very warm in Lafayette and that is how they cooled the dogs off. imagine my surprise when I was told they use water from hoses to "correct" behaviors. I have checked around and found this is not a usual way to correct dogs. so, my dogs won't be going there. I am also going to clarify to anyone I have recommended Tail Haven to that I no longer recommend their doggie day care.

For the past five years, these ladies have walked, trained and cared for our family dog, Hummus, who is a pit-bull mix. We adopted him from the San Francisco SPCA. Like many pit-bull mixed pups, his opportunities for finding a loving home were slim. He was anxious, nervous and afraid of others. Aggression is the first word that came to mind, but for us, he was just misunderstood. Kas and Amanda are patient, reliable and kind. Since we brought Hummus home they gave continuously worked with his anxiety and affliction to other dogs. We would be lying if we said he was perfect, but like humans, dogs are not perfect. Nonetheless, he has a come a long way from lunging, barking and growling at other animals. Kas and Amabda have made vast improvements in his temperament. We now have two human pups of our own. He is respectful and has nothing but love and compassion for them. Hummus boards with Kas and Amanda for periods of a time while we travel. They have always been reliable and responsive to our needs, not to mention flexible when situations arise. These ladies started out as our dog walkers, but as we continued to grow in family size our relationship grew as well. We are honored and proud to call them our dog trainers, but most importantly, trusted family friends. Their youth, passion and dedication are truly inspirational.

During our meet and greet today, the lady tried to alpha roll my dog on his back several times. She said my dog needed to know who the alpha is. I just wanted to post this so people are aware of the type of methods they use. If I would have known about this, I would have never exposed my fearful dog to this type of outdated training method. He has gone on small pack walks before, he has been handled by other trainers, he has been groomed all his life by other people, and never ever been so fearful and anxious like he was with her. Also, putting 20+ dogs in a car definitely does not sound safe.
