“I brought Jake out of town with us and my initial plan changed last minute requiring a sitter. At first, I was hesitant to try the service because of how special Jake is to us. However, I'm glad I did Katherine was wonderful. She provided updates and pictures of Jake's stay with her throughout the time she cared for him. I will definitely use her service again.”


“Emily watched my senior dog, Chloe for 4 days while I was out of town. Chloe is on a ton of meds and is a very anxious girl so I get nervous when I have to leave her. Emily was super communicative and sent lots of pics. She followed directions very well and Chloe seemed to really like her! I highly recommend booking Emily.”

“Elizabeth and her family were such wonderful dog sitters. We have a senior dog with special needs, and they took very good care of him, giving him lots of attention and care. We very much appreciate the special care, attention, and communication. We received regular updates and if there were any health concerns, we knew immediately. I had peace of mind knowing our senior dog was well cared for and monitored closely.”

“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.”
