Words simply cannot express how grateful I am to have left my dog Petey in Fabrizio’s loving and capable hands for 4 days! Where do I begin? I think staying with Fabrizio was like going to sleep away camp for my dog. He got to swim at a private beach on the Russian River, he got full run of Fabrizio’s shaded and fenced yard, and he got more love, snuggles, and cuddles than he could have dreamed of! This was my first time leaving Petey overnight, and from the moment I left Fabrizio was sending me photo updates, assuring me that Pete was happy, healthy, and extremely comfortable. He remained in close contact with me and sent adorable photos the entire time I was away. It was so comforting to know that he was getting so much attention. Fabrizio is also clearly a super experienced dog owner and care-taker. He administered ear flushes for my dog’s ear infection and was probably more diligent at keeping his ears healthy than even I am (he hates the ear flush, but Fabrizio found a way to do it gently and make him comfortable). When I picked Pete up his ear infection had miraculously subsided thanks to Fabrizio’s care. I can’t imagine a better dog-sitter and Fabrizio will be my #1 go-to any time I leave town again. He took my dog in and treated him like family; is there anything better? Also, my dog sulked for a full 24 hrs after leaving because he missed Fabrizio’s little paradise in Forestville.

Fabrizio was really nice with our little Chihuahua. She is very shy and he was really gentle managing and reading her. I completely recommend him.
