“Hannah has watched our dog Aurora multiple times now & we couldn’t be more thankful to her. Having the peace of mind that our girl is taken care of when we’re gone means everything.”


2. Sarah V.


“Thank you so much Sarah!!! You were so, so wonderful to Mylo and I would no doubt book with you again. I can tell how much you love and care about animals and you follow instructions so well. I was so worried about leaving Mylo, especially with somebody he doesn’t know and you made it so easy. You were so patient, kind, and even took the time to make sure the house was neat before you left. I can’t thank you enough!”

Excellent experience overall, and I highly recommend Tom for anyone looking for a great dog trainer!”

20. Joseph O.


“We were apprehensive about having a stranger in our home and taking care of our fur babies. Joe was personable and we all felt at ease with him right away. He even dropped by one additional time before we left just to make sure the dogs were going to be comfortable with him and to go over any additional instructions. The house was spotless and the dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely use Joe again and would highly recommend him.”
