When I had cancer and needed extra help, Jen made me feel like she had me covered. Linus has liked every one of his walkers over the years, and I've trusted them all with my dog. Linus used to be dog reactive, and still wants to chase cats, and everyone has handled him with professionalism and competence. Highly recommend JDWS.

I never worry when Gus and Granger are out with Jen and her team; they take care of our babies like they're their own. I appreciate the communication and flexibility that Jen provides.

I feel so thankful to have found Jen and her team. I would recommend them to anyone looking for someone to help get their dogs out!

We have left our dog Star with Samantha several times, for up to a couple weeks at a time. He now…read more_loves_ her. We sometimes suspect that he likes being at her place more than he likes being at home. Samantha has always been great about providing us with regular updates and photos. She has a backyard where he can run around and relieve himself. But most important, she's so caring -- she would sometimes even ask us how he's doing after he came home. So we always have complete faith that she will make sure he's well taken care of.

YOUR DOG WILL BE WELL TAKEN CARE OF…read more When I first took stitch to Samantha , of course I was hesitant, but when I came to pick him up, he did not want to leave. For me, that was a great sign that he created a bond with another person. I usually drop my dog off four times a week and so far the same thing he does not want to leave. Samantha is such a kind soul. She loves the animals and she loves what she does and you can definitely tell she has experience with all breeds, and most importantly, she knows dogs, body language, which is hard to find with somebody, my dog is a blue heeler pitbull mix and people don't know how to handle his behavior and know how to recognize when he's having a temper tantrum. Samantha is definitely experienced and seasoned. She knows how to take care of large dog breeds pit bulls pretty much all dog breeds. For my people out there who are looking for someone who can manage pitbull behavior, and actually find someone to take care of their pitbull She is the person. I don't want to give my business to anyone else, because not only does my dog have a great relationship with her in a bond as well. Have a great relationship with her. She is so kind like I said before and very understanding. There's been times where I forgot my dogs essentials and she already had it , she's such a wonderful person and she's doing so many good things such as training and keeping up with the regiment I have my dog on she takes the dogs to the dog park and overall she make sure that they are very happy.

They stayed at our home -- the vet recommended that he would be most comfortable in his own home -- and they followed our instructions, walked him daily, and sent daily photos of him while we traveled. We were so relieved to know that he was being well cared for. We would most definitely recommend Lucy and Crew for your pet care needs.

Brad did a GREAT job socializing my pup and helping him be confident in all kinds of situations. Mo…read morewas always the biggest sweetheart, but he lacked confidence in situations outside our house. He loved working with Brad (and I enjoyed it too) and he became more outgoing, eager to explore and learn after a few weeks of Brad's training. I credit Brad with helping bring out his good character. Brad is hands-on, great with getting dogs engaged, figuring out what's going on in their heads, and helping them get past their own fears and stuck patterns. I'd definitely bring him on board to give your puppy a great start in life.  Brad's methods are 100% positive - I NEVER saw him use any negative or aversive methods with Mo. He also has created an online training course for his clients that has a ton of good information about how to work with dogs so that they understand what you're asking for. I've learned a lot about how to communicate more clearly and consistently with my dog and I've got a lot of tools to use when I train him now. Learning fun things to do with Mo - some things I hadn't even thought of as "training" like teaching him nose work and a reliable "drop it" when he fetches a ball - engage his mind and improve our communication and relationship. Mo is thriving and I know I can turn to Brad for help to resolve any issues that might arise as he grows older!

There are many things that make Brad great at what he does! The bottom line is that he's adept at teaching owners positive methods to change many types of unwanted dog behavior, and helping people and their dogs to develop happier and deeper relationships. And, he's always a pleasure to work with!

She took our sweet, shy, overly anxious little pup and made him feel at home within a short son of three weeks (2-3 times exposure for day care) before we let him stay overnight.

When I used this service: March 1-5 Why I chose Bowser's: I…read moredid 1-2 hours of research: Yelp reviews, calling friends from the dog park/other contacts, etc., and Kim always came highly recommended. Matt from Pawfection told me he refers all his clients to her who are looking for longer pet sitting, and no one has come back disappointed. Overall impression: I cannot speak more highly of Kimberley and Bowser's Buddy Pet Care! She was extremely professional and accommodating and made me feel like part of the Bowser's family from day one! More details: Kimberley is the epitome of professionalism. I really appreciated how she: - validated my sad feelings that I couldn't take him on the trip - had me over the weekend before my trip to see her space and meet the other dogs she was currently taking care of - was in constant contact about times/dates and how my dog Reeses was doing while I was gone - communicated (quickly) with me whenever I sent her a text message or gave her a call - loves my dog like her own (and he loves her back!) Pro-tip: Kim's place is dog HEAVEN. Very dog-friendly and lots of things to keep them entertained and comfortable: doggy door, fenced-in grassy yard, orthopedic beds, etc. etc. She doesn't give discounts, but it's totally worth the price, and that's coming from a med student in tons of debt currently!

My dog Lido is the light of my life, and that's putting it mildly - meaning I can be a little over bearing and generally don't let him stay just anywhere. I can honestly say Lynda is one of the only people that's not a family member that I trust wholeheartedly with his care. It also helps that he has become best friends with one of her recent foster fails I love that they only take small (or very calm larger dogs), allow them to cuddle in bed and most importantly only use positive reinforcement. I always trust that he is being treated as if he was one of their own. Could not recommend Lynda or her services enough. We feel so lucky to have found her!

It is such a great feeling to not worry about your pets while you're away. This is the first time we have not felt guilty about leaving them behind. I will definitely be asking her to come again anytime we are out of town.
