“Wow! Kona just completed her first day of daycare and she’s currently asleep on the couch. They definitely wore her out...which I thought was impossible to do. I enjoyed getting the photos of their activities for the day. Pia and Carl definitely took care of Kona. She is super comfortable with them and enjoyed her stay. They are great with the dogs and made sure she was comfortable with the other doggies that were staying. Definitely will go back for day care and boarding!”

“I was a bit nervous leaving Lexa after an unpleasant previous experience with a Rover stay, but Jeannie was wonderful! She took my very active husky on several walks, but was conscious of the hot weather and kept them short. I received a bunch of pictures and updates, which kept me calm. She has a very calm demeanor that allowed my dog to relax and just hang out. I will definitely be rebooking!!”

About: Hey, my name is Thais and I've loved and had animals since I could remember. My most recent sitter experiences come from house sitting in over five countries while traveling/backpacking full time for over two years with my husband. Who knew you could travel the world and care for pets at the same time! My other core experiences come from having pets my whole life, volunteering with dog rescue groups, as well as fostering cats and kittens. Currently we have 1 golden retriever and 4 cats! As a pet owner I understand how important it is to find someone who actually cares and understands your dog's/cat's needs. So I am happy to be that for you! I am currently working from home and would love to care for your babies while we are taking a break from our full time travels! Currently working from home in a great neighborhood with a spacious yard. Flexible schedule and always looking for a reason to go on another walk. Our home is our pets home, and that will be the same for yours. Our animals enjoy all areas of our home and have access to the backyard whenever they like - or ask. We are animal lovers and spending time with your fur babies is something we all love and cherish!

About: As a dog trainer, prioritizing safety with dogs and building trust with their owners is fundamental to creating a successful and positive training experience. Safety ensures the physical and emotional well-being of the dogs, while trust with owners fosters confidence in your methods and strengthens the partnership needed for effective training outcomes. **Safety with Dogs**: Safety is the cornerstone of any responsible dog training program. By creating a secure environment, you minimize risks of injury or stress for the dogs. This involves using positive reinforcement techniques, such as reward-based training, to encourage desired behaviors without causing fear or anxiety. For example, using treats, praise, or play to reinforce commands like "sit" or "stay" helps dogs learn in a way that feels safe and enjoyable. Avoiding harsh methods, like choke collars or physical corrections, prevents potential harm and builds a dog’s confidence. Additionally, assessing each dog’s temperament and needs allows you to tailor training to their comfort level, ensuring they feel secure. For instance, a reactive dog may need gradual exposure to triggers in a controlled setting to prevent overwhelm. Maintaining a safe physical space—free from hazards, with secure leashes or barriers during group sessions—further protects the dogs and sets them up for success. **Building Trust with Owners**: Trust with owners is equally critical, as they are integral to the training process. Owners need to feel confident that you prioritize their dog’s welfare and respect their goals. This starts with clear, transparent communication about your methods, emphasizing your commitment to safe, humane techniques. For example, explaining why you use positive reinforcement and how it benefits their dog helps owners feel informed and involved. Listening to their concerns, such as a dog’s specific behavioral issues or their own anxieties about training, shows empathy and builds rapport. Providing consistent updates on progress, offering practical tips for owners to reinforce training at home, and demonstrating measurable results—like a dog responding reliably to commands—further solidify trust. By fostering an open, collaborative relationship, you empower owners to feel like active partners in their dog’s development. **Why It Matters**: Your emphasis on safety ensures dogs thrive in a stress-free environment, leading to faster learning and lasting behavioral change. Simultaneously, building trust with owners creates a loyal client base who feel confident in your expertise and are more likely to recommend your services. This dual focus not only improves training outcomes but also establishes you as a compassionate, reliable professional in the field. As someone who works from home, pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine. Having owned dogs before, I’m experienced with their needs and love incorporating walks, playtime, and cuddles into my schedule. My flexible hours allow me to adapt to each dog’s unique routine, ensuring they get the attention and care they deserve, whether it’s a quick walk or a full day of sitting. As a dog trainer, prioritizing safety with dogs and building trust with their owners is fundamental to creating a successful and positive training experience. Safety ensures the physical and emotional well-being of the dogs, while trust with owners fosters confidence in your methods and strengthens the partnership needed for effective training outcomes.

Your pets will be well taken care of, in the wonderful hands of Nuria!”

“Amazing from the start! My dog has separation anxiety and he can also read humans very well. Josh was able to calm him down within the first few minutes. It was very heart warming to witness. It really put me as ease leaving my Covid babies with them. They followed Andres right into the house like they had known him forever! What made me decide between them and another sitter is that the dogs can sleep anywhere they want. I wanted an environment that was similar to my house and Josh and Andres are just that. They were really flexible with the drop off. The house is beautiful btw! My dogs came back smelling good too ?. Just overall a wonderful experience! We will be back soon! Thank you!!!!”

“Sunny had a great time with Razel. She was so good to the little old guy! This was my first time with Razel and she was fantastic!”
