1. K9 University
“My dog has been going to K9 University for about 8 years. When I’m out of town or not I take him there for doggy daycare. They take care of his grooming. I also have enrolled my dog into their classes for nose work, agility and obedience and my dog absolutely loves it. I am also satisfied with the results and experience of K9 University INC. Their staff members are well trained and they all practice the same delivery of services, for instance, what one staff members provide in quality customer services so does the remaining 5 staff members, therefore the quality you receive from this company isn’t compromised; moreover, they go above and beyond. They are all very professional and possess a wonderful attitude – they look very happy to be there. I’ll most definitely recommend using K9 University INC.”

18. Anthony N.
About: I pride myself on being reliable and detail-orientated, especially when it comes to caring for other people's doggos! I completely understand, similar to people, dogs have different preferences and needs when it comes to feeling loved and safe. I'm very attentive with small nuances, so that it helps me create a stronger bond with your fur family! Rest assured, any other quirks and requests can be discussed in further detail before I meet your pets as well. I'm currently a student taking online classes for nursing full-time, so 24/7 care should be expected with your dog! I'm usually up by 9 AM and usually go to sleep by midnight, so it's really easy for me to work my schedule around your dog's schedule! I live in a pet-friendly condo/apt and I'm located just 2 minutes away from a large, fenced-in dog park. There are 2 dedicated dog relief areas at the condo as well, so potty breaks are very early accessible. I always try to keep the home clean and clutter free, so there's plenty of space for your doggo! If you ever feel the need to check in, your pet worries are just a phone call or video chat away.
