She took my dog every Monday to the dog park with a small group and kept a careful eye on them to make sure they were safely interacting with each other and the larger group of dogs at the park. My dog loved going with Susan and came home happy and tired. Susan also boarded my dog in her lovely home several times. I had absolute confidence that my girl would be safe and happy with Susan. She is responsible, dedicated, loving, and skilled. I also recommended Susan to friends who had never once boarded their precious Yorkie, and they were extremely nervous and concerned. Susan was able to assuage their fears and take wonderful care of the little dog and my friends returned to Susan to board their dog again. I whoIeheartedly endorse and recommend A Lot of Love Dog Care!

We have occasion to require her services one day a week when Mr. Grumpy commutes to the South Bay. The bright spot in the day for Ozzie and Willie is when Cindi comes to take them for a strut. Ozzie adds: "Cooper and Cooper's mom used to take care of me when I was just a wee pup. It was great. Cooper taught me how to bark like a big dog, help with the pre-wash while Mom loaded the dishwasher, and that I must share toys. I am now a full grown, well-adjusted, happy-go-lucky, household hound and I'm so glad the 'rents still have Cooper's Mom come take me for walks. She's the best." Willie wants you to know: "I was adopted into the family about a year ago and had no history with Cooper's Mom. I was a bit wary of her at first but she made it clear that she loves animals and I couldn't help but feel smitten and charmed by her. Her walks aren't quite as good as the runs Dad takes with me but a walk with Cooper's Mom midday when the man's away is the bomb. We are lucky puppies."

However placing her in a boarding facility would devastate and probably traumatize her all over again. When we took our recent trip, Carolyn of Little Wags came in twice a day to feed and take care of our very shy, timid kitty. And kitty even came out of hiding to hang out with Carolyn! That speaks volumes about Carolyn and her pet whisperer ways! It was a perfect solution to our situation. Carolyn is calm, reliable, responsible and I will absolutely have Little Wags take care of my pets any time we take a trip.

Heather is AMAZING! My dog Shelby, a little Pomeranian mix,…read moreabsolutely hates having her nails done. She has tried to bite groomers and vets in the past, so I was honestly nervous and kept apologizing in advance for what Heather might be walking into. Heather arrived right on time with a bright smile, professional confidence, and such positive energy. And somehow--she must have some kind of alpha dog magic--Shelby became putty in her hands! Not only did Heather trim her nails, but she also used an electric file to smooth them out afterward. Shelby's paws looked absolutely perfect--a true little PETicure! The entire experience was stress-free, professional, and far beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Heather to anyone, especially if you have a difficult or anxious dog. We will absolutely be calling Ms. Heather again! Also, I was surprised to also find out she does maintenance grooming as well! Butt trims, glands, ears, eyes.. u name it!!

She goes above and beyond, and we now consider her an extension of our family. I recommend Laurie 100%.
