Kelly was a wonderful pet sitter and house sitter! Our dog Cooper adored her. She sent us pictures several times a day and he was always snuggling with her. She kept in touch with us regularly. We have never left our baby before and we were anxious about it but we ended up feeling totally comfortable with Cooper in Kelly’s care. She also kept our potted plants alive during a heat wave and took great care of the house. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Leslie and Kyle set the bar for all other pet sitters! On the first morning of their stay my cat got out due to a faulty window in my apartment and they handled the situation so well. Leslie sent a text explaining what happened and that my cat had returned safely and she was so calm about the whole thing that it put me at ease for the rest of my trip. Kyle went above and beyond and not only fixed the window screen (he actually fixed two screens during their stay!) but also made sure the window was secure until maintenance could come and fix the issue. Their go with the flow attitude was amazing. I would 100% have them sit for me again! I can not recommend them enough. You would be lucky to have Leslie and Kyle as your sitters :)
Anant was a great sitter and a friendly guy. Kept me up to date re his arrival and with Marie & Toulouse during the sit. Found my house exactly as I had left it. Would highly recommend Anant to other pet parents.
Rebecca was amazing! She is a kind and clear communicator, took loving care of our pets, and left the house in perfect tidy shape. My husband commented, "You can't even tell she was here!" :-) Her calm demeanor, intelligence, humor, and common sense experience as a pet owner made her the ideal sitter for our 7 pets of varying species, ages, personalities, and needs. She managed the pet routine like a pro—including diapers and daily meds for our older dog—and cared for all of our pets as if they were her own. If you're looking for total peace of mind, Rebecca is your sitter!
Once again, having AnnaMarie take care of our pups was absolutely the right choice!! Her frequent updates, care of our house and fur babies was stellar! Although the dogs were thrilled to see us when we returned, as we chatted with Annemarie, we could see them continuing to go to her for affection and cuddles. It was so sweet to watch our one-year-old lick her ear and Annamarie just giggled and happily tolerated it. What a great sport😎. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would also suggest if you happen to see a less than perfect review for her ( there is only 1)I know the true story... it's unfortunate that some people are so unappreciative of someone who will go out of their way to care for their home and Pets (at no charge🙃🙃)-- it just boggles my mind and am confident they are not being honest! Suffice it to say she is a gem and perfect sitter in every way- if you can get a chance to book with her- do not hesitate! We truly think of her as part of our family now and all 5 of our pups would agree!
Angela did a great job caring for Willie for 10 days while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed about Willie, along with sending photos of him out on walks and at the beach. Angela was very accomodating when we needed to come home a day early - Thank you! The house was left in good shape and it's clear that Angela is organized and reliable and clearly loves her pet charges. I'd recommend Angela and will definitely include her as one of our top sitter choices in the future! Thanks again, Angela!
Hanna did an excellent job sitting Molly, Eddie, Jasper, and Miley. She communicated well, took notes on our initial meet and greet. She went out of her way to help us get the dogs to a kennel when we experienced a family emergency and could not extend her sit due to work commitments. The dogs loved her and the shy kitties came out of greet her mid stay. She left our home immaculate and well cared for. She is truly a winning pet sitter in our eyes! We hope she can come again sometime.
I could not have asked for a better first time sitter experience! Terry & Vinnie were absolutely wonderful people. They took stellar care of my beloved pets and my home. Their communication with me was enough that I felt perfectly at ease during my time away and in turn, they were super responsive if I contacted them. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned!
David was an outstanding house/pet sitter for our active pup Tosha, older kitty Rascal, and 4 chickens. Rascal came home with a deep, gaping wound the day before we left for 11 days, and David was very responsible in monitoring the healing process with photos and texts to us. He exercised Tosha in the neighborhood and local parks, and obviously enjoyed her company. Our house was spotless and extremely neat when we got home, which is always welcoming after a long trip. We are very grateful for the excellent care David gave to our precious pets and home.
Jerry and Suzanne were absolutely ideal sitters for our home and pets. We spoke with them ahead of their visit and could tell that they are genuine pet and travel lovers. Over their stay we got to see even more that they are wonderfully friendly, kind, and responsible - plus they kept us laughing with their updates and descriptions of our pets' antics while we were away. Our pets and plants were well loved and our house was spotless upon our return home, and they were even kind enough to leave a few goodies in the fridge. Our dog in particular seemed to miss them and their long walks around the neighborhood. Thank you Jerry and Suzanne! We wish you well in your travels!

Need a pet sitter? Wendy is more than that. She is a loving caregiver for our fur kids. Extremely conscientious, reliable, and really cares about our kids’ health and happiness. The photos show how happy they are with Wendy’s care.
Our dogs love when Wendy takes care of them! She gives them lots of love and attention and follows any special care instructions very carefully. She sends us cute pictures after every visit so we can see how they're doing. We highly recommend her as a pet sitter. The peace of mind Wendy gives us is priceless.
Wendy was hands down the best pet sitter we have used since having our two dogs. She is very thorough and you can see the passion in her work shine through immediately. She was very accommodating even though we only gave a weeks notice of needing her services. We would recommend her without reservation and will certainly use her again in the future!
This is completely unsolicited. Wendy has taken care of my girls for many years. She’s thorough and consistent. My Siberian Huskies love her. More importantly, I never worry when Wendy is in charge of my babies’ needs. Highly, highly recommend her. My neighbors use her services for their cats and they too are thrilled.
Hard to find an honest & reliable pet sitter in our area. Wendy watched our 3 dogs and sent pics & updates daily, while we were gone. Highly recommend her for any pet services in our area.
Wendy is excellent, and our go-to pet sitter. Our two cats enjoy her visits (including playtime!), and we love receiving her daily photos and updates while we are away. She is reliable, detail-oriented and truly cares for her clients and their furry kids :-). We highly recommend her services and can't thank her enough for always taking such great care of our cats.
Wendy is awesome and our 2 fur babies just love her! She is super reliable and trustworthy. Additionally, she provides fantastic updates and pictures of our babies every time she visits. Using her service, provides the peace of mind that our pups are in good hands and will be cared for properly. I highly recommend her!
Our 3 doggies love Wendy and are blessed to have her take care of us!! We highly recommend Wendy Collins Pet Sitting Service!!
I have used Wendy for a couple of times and feel comfortable when leaving my pets in her care. I would definitely recommend her!
Wendy is the best! When she lets our dogs out during the day, she gives each one of them love and attention. She is reliable and pays attention to every detail for each of our dogs. She is so thorough, organized, and professional! E love Wendy!
Michael is the absolute BEST! He clearly has a talent with dogs and cares very much about them. We sent TWO giant breed puppies to him for board and train. With 2 giant puppies and two toddlers in our house, (yes, we know we’re idiots) he saved our sanity! We get compliments all the time now about how well behaved our, now, 7 month old puppies are. And if we ever have an issue arise through their growth, Michael is very fast to respond and help us out. He is truly dedicated to the dogs he trains. He even helped eliminate a bad behavior we had with our 12 year old dog. Thanks to Enlightened K9 Perspective, we learned that old dogs CAN learn new tricks. We recommend him for any dog owners at ANY stage of life, 110%.
As owners of a miniature schnauzer with behavioral issues, we would highly recommend Michael and his dog training techniques. We went from an aggressive and barking dog to a well-behaved one. We are now able to take walks with Spencer, and it is more enjoyable to be in public with him. Michael is truly a master at what he does. Thanks Michael for a new dog!
I had the opportunity to work hands on with Michael and my husky Yuna. We specifically worked on control during walks which lead to off leash. Michael not only trained my dog but more importantly he trained me on how to interact and communicate with my dog. With the groundbreaking work he did that week and the recommended advise for returning home, my husky can now walk off leash amongst all kinds of distractions. (Kids, barking dogs, cats, squirrels, etc.)
Within just a few hours of Michael working with my two dogs on simple leash training, I noticed a huge difference. They were generally calmer, and even issues he had not yet addressed had improved greatly. My two dogs issues included; aggression towards other dogs, food aggression, barking at every little sound they heard, jumping on people, “mouthing” peoples hands and clothes as a “greeting,” and pulling when walked. I really appreciate the way he takes the time to explain things to the owner and answer questions with humor and kindness, he never makes you feel like there’s a stupid question, and has a lot of empathy for owners and dogs alike. My dogs bad behavior is practically gone, they are SO much calmer and better behaved. People who frequent our home (the gardener, friends, mailman, etc.) have already noticed a difference. “It’s so quiet here now!” I feel confident that Michael has given me the tools I need to continue their training on my own. I highly recommend Enlightened K9 Perspective.
I know I left a review several months ago, but this man deserves all of the 5 star ratings. He has gone out of his way to help my two shepherds, and guiding me. I’ve gotten both shepherds trained with Michael & I will say that it has done absolute wonders, if I could give 10 stars I would. I never thought I would be able to have both of my dogs out together in one space without nervousness and aggression. Michael truly cares about the well-being of dogs and making sure they are well trained. I can never thank him enough for his help! You’re awesome!
Michael is amazing.. he trained our husky for two weeks and changed our lives! We went from not being able to walk her at all (she would pull excessively) to being able to take her out with no lease and being able to walk her anywhere.
If your looking for someone to just train your dog , go somewhere else, once your dog or pup has been to enlighten K9 perspective it has become part of Michaels family , this man genuinely cares for these dogs well being and will go above and beyond to do what he can to help you and your dog. anytime of day or night he has been there to answer questions and even tell us what we are doing wright or wrong
As a dog trainer myself , Michael is the only other trainer that I truly trust with my pack. I had rescued a washout belgian malinois from the coast guard who had a bite history. My kennels were full and I felt it was best Michael assist me in acquiring my dog . Michael took him in for 2 weeks to work on some behaviors. I've watched him train , he is my friend and I'm honored to know him giving him a 5 star isnt enough. 10 stars he ROCKS and can save your dogs life and give you peace of mind and guide you on what to do .. Cheers my friend
We called Michael for help with our overly reactive miniature schnauzer, Porter. We were worried about his unpredictable nature and increasing aggressiveness towards people and other dogs. Michael took Porter for 2 weeks and Porter came back much calmer and happier. Michael took the time to train my husband and I an also helped out with our other two pups! I would not hesitate to recommend Michael - he's super knowledgable and will work with you and your pup until the issue is under control. Thank you!
Michael is amazing, he trained both of our golden retrievers, Savannah and Shelby, we cannot sing his praises enough! We call him the dog whisperer, he has a true gift with animals!
