1. Ivy W.

“Ivy did a wonderful job at caring for our puppy, Kuma, while we were away! Ivy was very attentive to our puppy and asked great questions before to get a good sense of his needs. I really enjoyed getting pictures of Kuma throughout his time with Ivy. I have a very anxious dog and Ivy was super patient with Kuma until he warmed up to her. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!!”


2. Ariel R.

“I’m so lucky I found Ariel. She is so skilled and confident and somehow she got my very selective pit bulls to like and listen to her within hours of meeting them! Her knowledge of dog behavior and ability to control them was apparent literally 5 minutes after she walked into my house. I give her a 10 out of 5 stars! She exceeded every expectation I had and I believe this the start of a long relationship. I can finally relax enough to take a real vacation, thanks to Ariel.”

When she asked if our new dog would be interested in playing and learning from her dog, Loki, we jumped at the chance. They played so well together and our dog came out of his shell. We'll be calling on Julina (and Loki) again.”
