Dog Sitters in Soquel, CA

I can’t recommend Pacific Paw enough!! My pup Lulu is always soo excited to see them in the morning and comes home a tired happy pup. Some of the things I love about them - positive training techniques, all the staff is smiling and happy when they pick up the pups. Love the pictures and emails with notes of how the day went. If you want a happy pup check them out!

Michelle is a VERY good dog trainer. She came to our house for all our sessions with our 17 month old King Charles cavalier spaniel, Nikki. Michelle has a calm, consistent approach to her training. Our little one was very responsive. Most importantly, Michelle is really good at teach the humans how to follow through with the training exercises, leaves you with written instructions and follows up between training sessions. Unless the human is trained, the dog can’t be trained. Nikki was able to learn all the basic commands and address some specific behaviors we wanted addressed. Without hesitation, I would recommend Michelle for trying any dog.

We recently attended a puppy class at Pacific Paw with our 7-month-old puppy, Sunny, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience! Working with the owner, Michelle, was an absolute delight. Her expertise and passion for dog training truly shine through in every session. Both my partner and I learned a tremendous amount from Michelle. Her approach is not only effective but also incredibly engaging, making the learning process enjoyable for both us and Sunny. Since starting the class, Sunny has shown remarkable improvement. He listens to us more attentively and has mastered new tricks like laying down. Additionally, his interactions with both humans and other dogs have significantly improved, thanks to the socialization skills he picked up during the class. We are excited for more classes in the future with Pacific Paw. I would highly recommend Pacific Paw to anyone looking for a puppy training experience.

Pacific Paw welcomed us into their family 9 months ago, and I am so so happy to have met these wonderful women. They give 10,000% to the doggos daily, rain or shine. They are filled with love, patience and all speak dog fluently. I have a 90lb timid boy and they took the time to make sure he was always comfortable and loved and having a grand ol time back at day care. We call them the aunties and they truly are that to Otis. He loves them, and the whole dog crew there. Every day I get a full report on all the happenings, with occasional dress-up moments included :), and their instagram also keeps me constantly up to date if I need some dog space out time during my day. Doggie day care is so much more than just your dog getting exercise. It's about community, it's about teaching your dog independence, it's allowing them to have a stable group of friends to feel comfortable with outside of their nucleus family. Raising a dog can take a village, and I'm so grateful to have this amazing Pacific Paw community as Otey's village.

Michelle is a top tier dog trainer! She is gentle and compassionate toward the animals' experience, and is effective in her training. I truly can't say enough good things. I trust her more than anyone I know or any trainer on the internet. I know she will always go above and beyond to understand why my dog is acting the way she is and help me gain understanding and compassion for the 'bad' behavior. She truly cares. Not only is she comfortable and skilled with animals, she's good with humans too, and is a joy to communicate with and learn from. Highly highly highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for dog and puppy training; she's the one I turn to personally and recommend to friends and family. Thank you Michelle!

Michelle, the owner, and all of the Aunties at Pacific Paw are the absolute best and I can't recommend them highly enough. They are deeply knowledgeable, professional, caring, kind, and flexible. They send a detailed report (with the best photos ever!) after every daycare session and regular newsletters, always taking care to ensure the safety and comfort of the pups. We're so grateful that we can feel confident that our pup is living her best life during her days with Pacific Paw.

Michelle and her team are wonderful! Dog lovers all, and all loved by our dog Topsy who is so excited each time they pick her up and she joins the pack for the ride to their morning walk. She then loves to stay and play with her friends for the afternoon session. They are always reliable, great communicators, send wonderful pictures each day. We are so glad we found this well-run dog care service with such wonderful people. They are the best!

Pacific Paw is amazing! Penelope loves the gang. She gets to spend a lot of time with Michelle -her favorite dog walker EVER. She's excited every time we drop her off. Highly recommend, woof!

We found Michelle shortly after welcoming a new puppy to our household and had a great experience working with her. She came to our home and listened closely to our goals and concerns and was tremendously helpful, both with setting a strong foundation of training for our new guy and working with our older dog to ease her reluctance sharing her space. Michelle is equally great at training people and helped us humans feel competent and confident navigating puppyhood and beyond.

There isn't any person I'd trust more with my dog Meeka than Michelle at Pacific Paw. She's reliable, communicates with me, and always ensures my hyper shepherd mix gets plenty of exercise and socialization. Meeka even seems better behaved when I walk her now, thanks so much M!

Robin's Nest pet care is the absolute best! We have had two of our dogs at Robin's Nest over the years. Our ridgeback Gus is super shy and has been terrified of other boarding places, but loves Robin's Nest. He scratches at the door when we arrive to get inside! We have no worries when we leave Gus for extended periods for travel, and he loves daycare there. Robin and her team are top notch and I love the kennel-free comfortable atmosphere. Robin, Kelly and their team treat our Gussy like their own. Cannot say enough good things about them!

We've been taking our dog to Robin's Nest for about five years now. It's his second home. Robin, Kelli and the rest of the staff are great. They know each dog--his or her home circumstances, care needs and spirit. They walk the dogs, provide treats, and play with them during the day. There is a vast yard area, providing room to roam. Overnight, the dogs sleep in a large room on mattresses and dog beds; no kennels or crates. Once we hit the driveway, our dog jumps from the car eager for another day. We depend on Robin and her crew and trust them completely. I can't imagine a dog getting better care anywhere.

Our dog does not tolerate being alone. Robin's Nest has become extended family. He is happy to go. We have left him for days at a time, as well as, daycare. It is a safe and healthy environment with responsible and experienced people. Don't think a better place can be found.

I have been taking my pups to Robin’s Nest since I moved to the area around 4 years ago. When my pup, with crazy separation anxiety, barrels his way into her yard because he can’t wait to see the staff and other dogs, you know that they are being treated right and they are loved. Robin and staff are amazing, caring and are like extended family.

Robyn s Nest was such a blessing for us! It s a completely unique and family-like setting for your dog. No kennels, great yard space, everyone sleeps on their doggie beds in her home right next to her. It s like a doggie slumber party! At the same time Robyn is very professional and takes the responsibility of looking after your loved one very seriously. There are usually quite a few dogs staying with her and she takes the time to meet any newcomers and makes certain they will get along with the group before she accepts them. This made us feel very safe taking our GSP to her for the first time. We knew that every dog had been screened by her first. Our dog Hunter is very active and needs lots of exercise. Robyn and her wonderful assistant Kelli, made sure that he went on bike rides, walks and even trips to the beach everyday. Hunter stayed with her for ten days over the 4th of July week and we soon discovered that he was very afraid of fireworks. We were surprised, as we hunt with him and he is around gun fire. However, the situation was very well handled. Robyn took the time to comfort him and he even scored the place of honor sleeping right in her bed! (Where he was hiding from the fireworks of course.) When it was time for us to come get him, he was very happy to see us but I think he might have liked it if we could have all moved in, so he wouldn’t have to say goodbye to his new friends! I HIGHLY recommend Robyn s Nest to anyone who needs a pet sitter! You will have complete peace of mind while you are away knowing your dog is being loved and having great play time with other dogs. This was a wonderful experience and Hunter can t wait to go back again to play! Thank you Robyn and Kelli!

Thanks so much for you kindness toward our Hero. You are so generous and thoughtful. Hero had a great time at your wonderful place, She left smiling. This was such a kind act after our huge fire, we appreciate you and your staff. Thanks to the firefighters our home was saved and we will soon be on our way back home.

Being going since my dog was a pup. Great people, safe, reliable and the type of overnight boarding I wanted for my dog. No crates or separation. Highly recommend.

They love my dog!!!

My experience with Kelly at Pawsitive Pet Care has been great. Kelly is a caring sitter who is friendly, well organized, and knowledgeable. She spends time interacting with each of my 3 cats and they have been happy and content.

Absolutely excellent in every way! The care and love Kelly provided for my kitty was beyond my expectations. She is the best!!!

The owner Linsey was very nice, calm, loving and patient with my pet and she went over and above with my little Ronie🥰 …

Friendly and fun place to pickup something for the dog.

Kelly is very nice & dependable

Very attentive and lovingly affectionate towards my pets.

Catnip Cathouse is not only an affordable cat boarding house, Jeremy formed a real bond with my kitty and even provided wet food for her! The kitty cam is adorable and gave me reassurance to be able to see her while I was away. Definitely recommended.

Highly recommend Catnip Cathouse. They were able to take both our cats on extremely short notice after evacuating from CZU and Creek wildfire. The webcam gave us assurance of our animals stay, as we were able to check up on them remotely. Thank you so much!

Very happy with the service and it was offered at a fair price. I especially liked that we could see our kitty on video and know that she was doing well. I would not hesitate to recommend Catnip Cathouse for their conscientious care and personal service.

Catnip Cathouse took care of my rather hyper cat very well. I would like to see improvements with the webcam and more online updates, but the overall care and love for the cats is shown. Definitely recommend.

We have used several cat boarding places & Catnip is by far our favorite. Our cats always very relaxed when picked up. Fun to watch on camera when we are away. Excellent care...thank you.

Excellent, the service was impeccable. The owner was extremely pleasant and professional, my cats loved their vacation while I was on mine! 10/10

Best place for our cat.. Jeremy is kind and attentive to all his kitty guests. Being able to see your cat on the webcams is a definite plus!

Lulu enjoyed a lot here, definitely, i will bring her here, again. Thanks Jeremy

Catnip Cathouse - the best place for cat lodging, cat boarding, cat accommodations, cat resort, which makes it super convenient.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 recommend. We discovered Eileen when our (previous) pet sitter bailed on us at the last minute about a year ago, but in hindsight, we are so glad that happened! Eileen has pet sat for us for the last year, and she is truly the BEST. She’s reliable, consistent, observant, and SO sweet with our babies. We have 2 cats with 2 very different personalities, and she’s great with BOTH of them, giving them each what they need while we’re gone, including extra attention for our high maintenance orange boy :). I feel so blessed to have her in our lives, and I can’t overstate how nice it feels to have true *peace of mind* when we leave home. Thank you Eileen!!! 🩷🩷

Eileen makes it so easy for me to feel confident about the kind of care my pets will receive while I’m away on long trips. They don’t get just basic care but love and attention. I get updates and pics so I can see how they are. It’s hard to be away from my four legged friends but Eileen makes it much easier because I know I have nothing to worry about. 😊

Eileen is a treasure and if you're sitting around reading dog walker reviews and weighing your options you should just drop it now and hire her. She's been walking my big, VERY enthusiastic amstaff, The Doobs, for a few months now and she's completely transformed his walk. This dog LOVES to walk, and can go for hours at a time. He's a dedicated puller with the muscle to back it up. When I first brought him home, I no joke had a dog walking helmet for a while, because more than once he pulled me right over. He's also very interested in people. He's a really friendly dog, but was such a handful to walk that we were really only going out reliably once a day, and he needs so much more exercise than that. Eileen has slowly mellowed out his walk to where he's a real joy to take out now. He gets so much more exercise now that it's easier to walk him, and he's a happier, healthier dog. Eileen has also been walking my 7 month old hound mix, Donny. Donny's challenges are at the opposite end of the spectrum. He's young and, like many pandemic puppies, his socialization was spotty. He's easily spooked and it can be hard to keep his focus on a walk. Here, again, Eileen's been a total game changer for him. Watching him bond with her and seeing the confidence boost he's getting from spending time with her has been totally awesome! Finally, Eileen just met for the first time with my other hound puppy, Walter. Walter's a very nervous little guy, and Eileen took the time to make an initial appt just to sit with us and let him come out of his shell with her. She's got a really quick, savvy grasp of doggo drives and body language, and it's a real pleasure interacting with her and each dog together. It's clear Eileen puts a ton of thought and effort into her relationships with her dog charges. She often brings a new trick or tool she picked up working with another dog and suggests it for one of mine, and the way she phrases her explanations always shows how appreciative she is of each dog's individual personality and needs. Bonus: Eileen's got a real gift for pet photography, and she sends beautiful pics and the occasional video while she's out walking my pups. I love reviewing those photos at the end of the work day and checking out the awesome adventures my doggos had. The attached photos are all shots Eileen sent me. Wrangling three doggos, two of whom are puppies, while working full time is a lot. Eileen provides all the extra love, exercise, and play these pups need to keep our household running smoothly enough to keep dogpocalypses from crashing my zoom meetings. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Our first experience with Sit Walk & Wag was fantastic! Eileen stayed with our Great Dane for a week and I couldn't have been happier with her service. She always made us feel comfortable while we were away. We are very impressed with the professionalism in which she runs her business and her high standards as a caretaker for our pet. We feel very fortunate to have been recommended to Eileen and highly recommend her.

Eileen at Sit Walk & Wag has been really wonderful to work with. She was extremely reliable, professional, and loves dogs. I have a high energy pup and Eileen's walks wore her out! After each walk I always looked forward to receiving pictures from their adventures!

Eileen was recommended to me by our regular pet-sitter, who was unable to complete the pet coverage we needed. I trust and love our pet-sitter, so I knew she was recommending someone great - and she certainly did! Eileen is professional, kind, fantastic with animals, and reliable. I was so impressed with her services and her willingness to take on a few extra visits when our plans slightly changed during our trip. My husband and I came home to three happy fur family members and I we were able to enjoy our trip knowing that they were in great hands (nothing is more important than that). We will definitely use Sit Walk & Wag in the future and I highly recommend Eileen!

Great dog walker! She has been walking our 75lb pit mix three times a week for over a month!! We get daily photos. A GPS map of distance and where they walked! I really like these added features as it provides assurance our family pet is getting the best! Thanks so much And we do recommend Sit Walk & Wag !! Eugene Scott Owens

It can be hard to find a pet sitter who is great with pets and with their humans. Eileen is that, and then some! She is a natural "cat person" and excellent cat sitter - we feel truly at ease whenever we go away, knowing our cat is being taken care of just as well (or honestly even better) as when we are home. Friendly, responsible, great communicator -- everything you'd want in a pet sitter!

From the minute I spoke to Eileen, I knew she was the right person to look after our very beloved but aloof cat, Dee Dee. Not only did Dee love her (I've never seen her warm up to someone so quickly) but Eileen really put her needs first. So much so, that she suggested shorter visits to accommodate her shy behaviour. Whatsmore, Eileen is great with humans too! 😁 Super responsive, communicative, and has a great sense of humour too. Would definitely recommend! 👍🏻

Eileen is wonderful! My dog loves her and she is very reliable and trustworthy. I come home to a happy exercised dog every time I elicit her services. Highly recommend and want to encourage to support. We are lucky to have people like this in our community.

Gina and Bay Area Critter Sitters are great—responsible and responsive. I recently needed help with care for my older cat who has kidney disease. In addition to the normal feeding etc., Gina made sure that subcutaneous fluids were administered each day. It’s not easy to find someone you trust who is willing and able to do special care like this. Everything went very smoothly and I will definitely call on her again!

This is one of thee best pet sitter companies in town. Gina is so friendly and she’s so great with the pets she’s watching over. Highly recommended!

I thought they were nice however turns out they are unprofessional and flaky Also one of them VJ is homeless and uses people houses she sits for as her own They totally mislead me and I was very confused as to why they were Why not tell me I didn’t have the job instead of leading me on and then rudely not giving any explanation or any closure I’m qualified no doubt and I’m experienced it is there loss in my opinion I lost my respect for them and I wouldn’t trust them with my dogs for any reason or any amount of time however I’m grateful my dogs were not anywhere near them

Twinkle doesn’t look forward to my travels; but the it’s made better by Gina.

Tianna and Luz are THE BEST in doggy care! Our 7 month old rambunctious mini Aussie gets such wonderful adventure time with the pack! She also gets individualized care and Tianna makes sure she stays out of trouble. 🐶 I highly recommend working with them! …

We love taking our Miley to Lucky Buddies Pet Sitting! Miley is a very shy dog and takes a little bit to open up. Initially, we were concerned about her adjustment, but after her first daycare visit, she loved it! It was such a relief to see our timid girl so eager and happy to go back. We feel completely comfortable knowing our pup is in the capable hands of the staff at Lucky Buddies. The atmosphere is so welcoming that it feels like we are dropping her off at a friend's or family member's house. We have complete trust in their care for our baby girl. The added convenience of their app, which provides regular updates, is a fantastic touch that keeps us informed and reassured while Miley is in their care. Communication at Lucky Buddies is top-notch. They are always prompt in responding to any inquiries and are more than willing to address any concerns we might have. We also utilize their boarding services in addition to daycare, and each time we leave Miley with them, we do so without any worry or anxiety. The confidence we have in Lucky Buddies Pet Sitting is immense, and they truly make your dog feel like part of their family. A special shoutout to Chelsea, whom our Miley absolutely adores! Chelsea has been so helpful in Miley's smooth transition and has formed a beautiful bond with her. Miley gets incredibly excited whenever she sees Chelsea, which speaks volumes about the care and affection she receives. In summary, we highly recommend Lucky Buddies Pet Sitting for both daycare and boarding. Their exceptional service, loving staff, and reliable communication make them stand out. They treat Miley like one of their own, and we couldn't be happier with our experience.

They have been absolutely amazing with our 1.5 year old cat where we had to leave the country for a month to visit our parents. Alex and the team really made her feel comfortable (she is a shy cat). So definitely recommend Lucky Buddies to whoever really wants to be stress free whenever you can’t be around your fur babies for long!

I will readily admit that I am one of those crazy dog moms - my pup is a full member of our family and I am very particular about her experiences. I checked out four different doggie daycares in the area before deciding to try out Lucky Buddies - and Lucky Buddies blew the competition out of the water. As other reviewers have mentioned, Lucky Buddies provides excellent care for pets - the staff are well trained, passionate, and friendly. They really get to know your pet and meet them where they're at. Neko started attending at 4 months old (she's now 13 months old), and the folks at Lucky Buddies have been so patient with her wild puppy and teenage months. They work with me on her training, and they clearly love her for who she is. And Neko loves going to both daycare and overnight boarding! The level of professionalism demonstrated at Lucky Buddies continually amazes me. The staff communicates frequently, and Yesica and Alex are always adding new improvements with the dogs' best interests in mind. I would not trust any other facility with Neko; Lucky Buddies is her home away from home, and I'm so glad we have them in our lives.

am so happy to have found Lucky Buddies! I've owned three dogs over the course of the past 20 years and have boarded them at 4 different locations. This is hands down, BY FAR the absolute best. I realize at first glance it seems expensive, HOWEVER, when you realize the overnight price is for 24 hours and includes the wonderful daycare program, it's very reasonable. The staff are just wonderful and clearly love animals--all are treated the way staff would treat their own pets. Among the many things I appreciate are the regular messages and photos they took during my pet's stay and posted on the portal as well as emailed or texted owners (depending on your preferred communication). The best proof, of course, is how happy my dog was during the stay and when I picked her up. Yes, she was glad to see me but clearly she was not anxious to leave (as has been the case in a different boarding place). Don't even hesitate; this is the place to go. Your pet will love it and love you for taking him/her there. For the first time in a very long time, I don't feel guilty about leaving a pet behind when I travel.

I have been using Lucky Buddies Pet Sitting to board my Shiba for the past 3 years. I have had zero issues and trust them that they will do the absolute best to take care of my dog.

I had to go for an unexpected trip and was in a hurry to find a good overnight daycare for my cat. The staff was very patient with him, and he was even able to warm up to the staff in the short amount of time he stayed with the Lucky Buddy staff. Very grateful for the care and frequent updates the staff provided!

To say Yesica & Juan are doggy whispers is an understatement!! They seriously have been so flexible with my fur babies- Ollie & Sadie. having a place that can take in last minute requests is a plus! I cannot thank them enough for taking in my babies when need be. And of course keeping up with them via Instagram is also a relief! You get to see what the Buddies are all up to throughout the day! It’s always an adventure being posted on their. I cannot leave out all the doggy activities they do (you get to take home & let your doggy be creative) as well as all the themed festivities, a holiday? Believe Lucky Buddies will be celebrating it! Like Valentine’s day, St Patrick’s Day, Christmas, Halloween… etc., they do it all! These guys go above and beyond to ensure every dog gets enough exercise, play time, cuddles, food, treats… the whole nine yards! It’s the best.. i’m forever thankful for their service and love to my babies.

Awesome place with awesome staff! Highly recommend Lucky Buddies. My mind is at peace leaving my dog in their care whether for day care or boarding. The updates/report cards they send are also so nice and appreciated. Safe to say our dog loves this place! Thanks Lucky Buddies!

Roxie has been going to Lucky's Buddies for that past year. Yecenia and Juan are great with her. When I went on vacation to Egypt they even picked Roxie up at my house! I love all the extra touches Yecenia does--including holiday events, periodically sending photos and updates of Roxie during the day. I highly recommend taking your dog to Lucky's Buddies. Laurie Aknin

We began taking our puppy to Lucky Buddies a few months ago and have been so happy with their care! We've done daycare, boarding, grooming, and will soon start some in house visits as well. Our puppy loves playing with the other dogs, and always comes home happily tired and engaged. They are great at updating us, and we love catching glimpses of our pup's day on their social media accounts too! They use the timetopet app which has also been super easy to use and book services, they've also been very responsive to questions. We love Lucky Buddies so far!

Shannon was terrific with my small dog. He stayed in her care for 4 nights and days. He normally is not that playful bit he played with one of her big dogs. Shannon made sure he ate and drank enough water. He had luxury sleeping areas. Shannon is very knowledgeable and caring for dogs. She has a big secure yard for the dogs and inside is all set up for the dogs as well. My dog came home happy and not stressed.

Shannon offers the best day care in Santa Cruz County for dogs! Your dog will be safe, loved, and have so much fun. My dog actually doesn't want to come home with me when I arrive for pick up. I trust Shannon at the Velvet Coat 200% with. my doggies. She is extremely knowledgable on all dog things! You will NOT be disappointed with The Velvet Coat!

Our dog Lulu loves coming here! Shannon is a gifted dog caretaker. We appreciate her professionalism and also how much she seems to enjoy her dog clients. She is super organized and we always know what to expect from Shannon. Can't recommend highly enough!

The Velvet Coat is awesome! I've been taking my labrador there for over five years for boarding and daycare, and she's always excited to go there. They carefully screen new pets, so you can be assured that your fur baby will be surrounded by social, friendly dogs.

If you’re trying to find a day-care on your busy work days or a boarding service for upcoming trips, Velvet Coat is the place to go! But be aware, when you dial the number, Shannon has some important questions prepared for you. You might even have to drive up there for an initial consultation. You’ll have to give Shannon a through overview of your canine friend — how they are physically, emotionally and behaviourally.You’ll have to provide her with the updated vaccine records as well as information regarding the animal hospital you take your dog to, or the doctor your dog has been seeing, and what medications your dog is on. It will also be useful to share with Shannon some pictures and videos of your dog, so that she has a clearer sense of who they are and how they are. But, please, please don’t be discouraged! Shannon is doing this for the sake of your beloved canine friend and the health and safety of all the other dogs under her care. We all have very concrete sense of how infectious diseases work nowadays. I’m sure you don’t want your dog to get sick or have any potential unpleasant experience while you’re away. When in doubt, please kindly put yourself in the shoes of the others whose dogs are currently staying at Velvet Coat. As a socially responsible person who truly cares about their dog (and any cute little animals in general), you won’t have trouble answering those questions and getting all the necessary documents (e.g., vaccine certification). By now, you probably would have paid a visit to Velvet Coat. I’m sure you and your canine friend are equally impressed (perhaps by slightly different aspects). You’ll then have to get your friend’s luggage ready. Shannon will give you a clean container for the food and snack needed for the length of the stay. And she will be making a detailed list for every single thing you sent with your dog. Of course, you’re more than welcome to use your own container and make your own list. A large proportion of Shannon’s fringe and freezer is devoted to those who enjoy fresh food. So don’t hesitate to pack those in. A detailed feeding instruction will also be very helpful. If your dog is familiar with the slow-feeders or treat/food puzzles, free free to take them as well. Shannon will make sure your dog feels at home. There’re no cameras like some other dog kennels that keep dogs in crates most of the time. Rather, imagine your dog stays at this resort, where dogs of different sizes and preferences can be engaged in different activities (or simply lounging) at the same time in different places. And because everybody here have passed the “rigorous interviews”, you know it’s clean, safe and friendly. Your dog gets to join the club of their choice, and is very likely going to make great friends here. Shannon will send you some picture and videos along with informative reports of what your friend was busy with during the day. If she notices any health or behavioral issues, she’ll intervene to protect your dog as much as she can. Note that she asked for your vet’s information so if you happen to be long distance away, she can get in touch with your vet if necessary. Plus, Shannon worked as a vet tech for many years! Trust me, I was just as skeptical/confused in the beginning. It turned out, I became a much better care giver to my own dog through talking to and learning from Shannon. I will not consider a different place to send our dear canine friend. I’m grateful that we found Velvet Coat!

Shannon is the best! She helped raise and care for our dogs for over a decade. Highly recommended.

Velvet Coat is truly a treat for both you and your dog - not only is the place stunningly beautiful, it’s made with dogs in mind, so there’s plenty to occupy them and never get bored. Each dog is very, very carefully vetted to make sure they’re a good fit for the place, the other dogs, and the proprietress, Shannon. Shannon knows her stuff - highly experienced with dogs and all other manner of critter; also very friendly and down-to-earth. Winston and I will miss the Velvet Coat very much since moving away!

Friendly / very experienced/ I highly recommend for the canine member of your family, 💙🦮🐕‍🦺🐕🐩🐈‍⬛ …

I was looking for day care for my 1 year old pup and was able to find Jackie through google. She was able to take him 5 days a week, full time, which was what me and my boyfriend were looking for. The meet and greet was great. She really wanted to make my pup feel comfortable. As the days went by, my pup was super excited each morning to see Jackie. She keeps us posted with our pup throughout the day and is extremely reliable! Would recommend to anyone trying to board or day care.

We meet Jackie over a year ago at puppy training. We were looking for someone to board our golden retriever puppy for a weekend. Our Lola was well taken care of and had a blast socializing with other dogs. She now goes 3 days a week for doggie daycare. She looks forward to seeing Jackie and her pups. Jackie goes above and beyond to make sure every dog gets the attention they need through out the day 💛

Jackie is amazing. She is very responsive and flexible. I started going to her after looking for a dog sitter that was closer to my home. She is much more than a dog sitter. Her dog training experience and loving nature elevates her services. Recently, I went on a trip far away and Jackie was only able to watch my dog for a portion of the time I was gone. After I was not able to find other options, she offered to take care of him and drop him off at the second boarding place. She also fed him white rice and boiled chicken when his stool was too soft. Even though she does not take dogs with soft stool she cared for mine as if he were her own. Thank you Jackie. I'm only sad that I'm moving soon and won't be able to see you much longer.

Jackie (of Precious Paws) is amazing. We adopted a sweet but stubborn half-grown pup, and Jackie has worked hard to teach our dog some manners. Our dog loves going to see Jackie every day, because she’s given tasks to do, but also treated with love. Jackie has made a world of difference!

I boarded my 10 month old GSD puppy with Jackie for 5 days and I was extremely happy with how well she cared for my dog. I received daily updates and pictures of my pup and that really helped me since it was my first time away from him. Due to snow storms my flight was cancelled and I couldnt make it back in time for the pickup. Jackie went above and beyond to help board my dog for an extra night. I will highly recommend Precious Paws for your Precious Pups.

I just wanted to share how much I love Precious Paws. My original dog sitter canceled on me at the last minute when I was ALREADY out of town and I called Jackie from Precious Paws who came through for me in a big way. Not only did she come pick him up and watched him until I came back in town, but she sent me updates that included pictures and just text messages that just left me know that he is in great hands and from the looks of things he made himself really comfortable on the couch. This is the exact kind care I was looking for. I didn't want to put him in a place where he was going to be another dog in a cage. I wanted him to have fun minus me and my son and that is exactly what I got. I am so happy with the care and will be back there for services again.

Our experience with Precious Paws was amazing. Jackie took care of our dog while we were out of town. It was a peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We’ll definitely use her services again.

My experience with Precious Paws was amazing!! When I came to pick up my 2 year old lab she was so happy that she didn't want to leave. I'm most definitely going to use jackie (precious paws) in future reference.

Great dog sitter/walker. Never a problem leaving my dog there. 👍👍👍 …
