But Chip was unfazed and took the challenge with no problem. He has been coming to walk our dogs twice a week for the past 6 months and our dogs have really improved their leash manners. They used to be very reactive to other dogs but now when we walk them they barely bat an eye at other dogs, which makes them SO much easier to walk. Also our husky is a handful and Chip has helped her to rein it in when she's on leash. We are so thrilled that we found Chip and I highly recommend him for all your pooches' dog walking needs.

Five Stars! I've…read morebeen sending my dog Kaya to Pacific Paw for nearly a year now, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Kaya started with some anxiety around other dogs and had a tendency to pull on the leash, but the transformation since joining Pacific Paw has been incredible. Thanks to their skilled and patient staff, Kaya's walking behavior has improved dramatically. She's now much more comfortable around other dogs, and it's been heartwarming to see her build friendships and enjoy her time out on the trails. She especially looks forward to her 2-hour walks and daycare time with her doggy pals! Every staff member at Pacific Paw is not only friendly and communicative but also impressively knowledgeable when it comes to dog behavior. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they work with. A special shoutout to Michelle, the owner--she's been amazing to work with. I even booked private lessons with her to learn how to walk my dogs while managing a stroller, and her guidance made a world of difference. Pacific Paw has played such a positive role in Kaya's life. She's thriving, happy, and so much more confident. I wholeheartedly recommend Pacific Paw to any dog owner looking for experienced, compassionate, and professional care for their pup. Thank you, Pacific Paw!

They also write a cute daily report and always send amazing photos of your pup and where they walked that day! Highly Recommend Pacific Paw to any dog owner!

Robin and her team are friendly and have the experience needed to keep everyone in The Nest happy and healthy. My dog gets so excited as we pull up, I know it is like a vacation for him! Over the last few decades, I've had quite a few dogs, and never felt better about leaving my canine companion in the care of another, as I have at Robin's Nest. Would give 6 stars if it was an option!

We have been taking our dog there for years now and have had many overnight stays. It feels like leaving your pet with family rather than a boarder. There are no kennels there, all the dogs get along and have a huge area to play. My dog loves everyone on staff and she can't wait to get in the gate when I drop her off. Overnight stays are amazing! The dogs all have their own little beds and are NOT in cages. We usually get pictures sent to us of our girl crashed out or snuggling with the overnight host! The biggest plus is I truly know that our dog is loved! As you can guess, your dog will have to get along with others but if you can get your paw in the door, you'll never leave!

We've moved from the area now, but I would recommend Happy Paws without reservation to anyone needing a pet sitter.

She also sends pics of the animals after every visit so when you're halfway across the country you feel good knowing your pets are being cared for. Our animals loved her. If you're looking for a pet sitter, Happy Paws is the best! Already have booked her again for June. Thanks Happy Paws! @BengalFever

She came, notepad in hand, and took two pages of notes about the ins and outs of my menagerie, down to the smallest particulars. As an extra bonus, because she is a dog trainer Irene was able to work with -- and make progress with -- the new dog, so when I came home, everyone was all the better for my having gone away and leaving them in Irene's care. My animals are my family, and it's hard to leave them. However I have no qualms about leaving them in Irene's care. I can highly recommend Irene when it comes to taking care of your "pet" family.

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE - EVER…read more After making arrangements to have two cats looked after while i was away, Pleasure Point Paws DID NOT SHOW UP AT ALL. My cats were out of food, water, had full litter boxes, and one did not receive his needed, daily medications. i have used Pleasure Point Paws before, and they did what they were supposed to - come to my house and care for my cats while i was away. i am not even interested in why they didn't show. DO NOT TRUST PLEASURE POINT PAWS TO DO WHAT THEY SAY. They failed me and my cats BIG TIME. Does anyone have a cat sitting service they can recommend?

One of the standout qualities of Melanie is her exceptional communication. She kept me updated with daily text messages and pictures of my cats, providing peace of mind while I was away. It was evident in every update that my cats were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. My cats adore Melanie. It is clear that she has a genuine love for animals and an intuitive ability to connect with them. I have also been impressed by her professionalism and reliability - always punctual, respectful of my home, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns.
