Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

Annie
Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.

Jordan & Nataki
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!

Francesco
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!

Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!

Misti
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!

Lilly & Thomas
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.

Gwynn
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!

Courtenay
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle

Wendy
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.

Julian & Susan
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Hannah
Tina was a fantastic house/pet sitter for my cat Trixie - I can’t recommend her enough! She was very communicative and also self sufficient and I felt completely at peace with Trixie in her care. She took it upon herself to water my plants and also trimmed Trixie’s nails, which I always struggle with! She provided perfect company for Trixie, playing with her, brushing her, loving her and giving her daily medicine. She also left my apartment in perfect condition. I would gladly have Tina pet sit again. A 10/10 experience.
Robert
Kelly was flawless, she was a fantastic pet sitter and house sitter. She was over communicating with pictures and updates. We were at total peace knowing Kelly was overseeing Leo and Bella. Kelly connected with our dogs perfectly. We loved how Kelly daily took our dogs for walks and even an extended hikes. She has our full and complete recommendation.
Elizabeth
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 :)
Kate
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Bonnie
Bard and Kim are amazing house sitters and pet care givers. I would recommend them over and over. I wish I could add numbers to the scale. They would get a 10+. Bard and Kim were super easy to work with, efficient, self-sufficient, and considerate. They took immaculate care of my home; it was definitely cleaner after they left! I would recommend them without hesitation over and over.
Michelle
Elaine was the best dog and cat sitter I have ever had! She was so loving to the boys, kind, reliable, capable and took fabulous care of my two dogs and cat welfare. Walked them every day and would even sing to them (-: I am so very grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting Elaine and I would recommend Elaine to anyone wanting first class care of pets and home!!! We all miss having her around and wish her a fabulous world trip and safe journey back to the States.

David was a super interesting guy, we had good conversation. My place was clean, my cat was happy...he communicated with me.. David is a great house and pet sitter . He is very gentle, which my cat enjoys.
Samantha
Farhan is a fantastic house sitter! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, kind, and caring pet sitter for their home. We have three small dogs (around 6 lbs) and he took excellent care of them. They can be a little nervous/ timid around new people, and more so around men at times, but the dogs didn't show any of that nervousness around Farhan! He was gentle and respectful of their space and they warmed up to him immediately. I got a wonderful text the first morning that I was away that they cuddled up with him at night - showing how quickly they adjusted to him as their caretaker. I was able to meet Farhan in person before I left on my trip and I was able to have a wonderful conversation with an ambitious explorer. He is a delightful person. Upon my homecoming the house was very clean and the dogs were happy and relaxed. I can't ask for anything more! Thank you Farhan for taking such wonderful care of our three dogs and our home.
Ma C
Gowri was very patient and caring with Irisi who got sick the day before I left. I cannot commend her enough for how she rose to the occasion and took care of my baby. She even pick up meds from the vet. My cat, Squinty, was very comfortable with her to jump in bed and wake her up early in the morning (as he would with me). I am not aware of him doing that to other sitters that have stayed at my place. I would give her 6 stars for Pet care if I can! She updated me with Irisi's condition which really help ease my mind, knowing someone looking after my furry really cared. I would certainly have her back again!
Sally Ann
Neil and Anne have just sat for us for a second time, for a week. They are outstanding sitters in every way. Always punctual with communication and arrival. They both have responsible jobs and this is evident as they are both very organised. They care very much about the animals they look after. We were regularly sent updates, pictures and video clips of them, which is great to see when you are away. When we came home we were greeted by happy pets and an immaculately tidy house. We cannot recommend Neil and Anne enough. As far as we are concerned they are perfect housesitters! …...Hopefully they will come back and sit again soon!

Susan was absolutely amazing in taking care of our kitten Miza. She spent there half a month when we were on a long trip overseas. She was updating us everyday with pictures and videos. She looked very joyful in her cat's paradise) Very good ratio of price and value. We were very happy with their services and definitely will make this our permanent place for Miza to stay when we are away!)
Susanne was absolutely amazing! She was very friendly and took great care of my cat. I had to increase the boarding dates last minute a few times due to my flight being moved around and she was more than willing to accommodate the extra days. She sent pictures, videos, and updates on my cat every day and was quick to respond to my texts and calls. I highly recommend her and would have her watch my cat again should the need ever arise. The room she set up for the cats has a few cat beds, a cat tower, toys, pillows, and a tv playing nature videos on it. My cat was nervous at first being in a new area away from home, but he quickly settled in and started enjoying the environment. Thanks again, Susanne!
Wonderful service, Layla didn’t do well in the past when I was away for a night. She spent five days with Paws Pet Boarding and did really well. I was provided pics and updates each day. It almost felt like she didn’t want to leave 🙂. …
Suzanne was the best sitter for my cat tuna. She provided images and videos everyday and took time to make sure tuna was comfortable and in the best care. When tuna was angry and hissing, she was patient and took time for tuna to become comfortable. In the end tuna loved her so much! Can’t wait to take her back to him when I’m traveling again. Thanks Suzanne!!!
It is great we can leave our three cats in a home with a dedicated and passionate caregiver. Susanne provided a great space, excellent care. She kept us informed and sent pictures and videos. She was also flexible for pick up and drop off. Highly recommended!
Susanne has been an angel in taking care of my kitty. I have used her services twice and been very happy with the daily photos, videos, and overall love she has shown towards Miyuki. As all cats are, Miyuki was shy the first trip. The second trip, Miyuki is now a best friend. I will use Susanne and her services every time when needed in the future and 100% recommend.
I dropped my 16 year old fur baby for 11 days. Susanne and her daughter Jasmine took wonderful care of my high maintenance kitty and sent me pictures and videos daily.. I will definitely use them again! Thank you Susanne and Jasmine 🫶😻You gave me peace of mind. …
Best boarding that we have found, our dog Mickey loves to stay there and of course play in Susan's house pool when is hot, she really cares for him, ours is a Golden Retriever and he is very active, we never felt disappointed with Susan care, she really cares for our pets.
My pup has been going there for awhile now. They always give him lots of love and attention and they have a backyard which is great for even more exercise and playtime. He is always safe, happy, and healthy there and they love him like a dear family member.
Wonderful experience for my 8 week old kitten that we rescued. Had to go oot for 11 days so used this pretty service! Recommend to anyone!

I have cannot say enough good about Happy Dog Sitting by Isaac. I have used his service for the past 3 years & could not be more impressed by the by the care, love , & attention he gives to his clients dogs. He is all around, a good guy, who goes out of his way to make certain all doggies needs are met & that they are safe & happy, including a trip to the dog park, where he is somewhat an ambassador or mayor. I feel secure in knowing how caring he is to all animals in general, meaning he has good heart.

ISAAC is awesome always takes care of my dog. Send photos daily so we can see our dog. Takes them to the park everyday. My dog is excited each time we leave her with him. Has a secure back yard so the dog can catch some sun :) Definitely recommending Issac
My Maltipoo loves him and staying at his home. He takes great care of her and sends daily pics of her at the park with all of her and his friends. Highly recommended.
I've been using Isaac's dog sitting services for several years. Obviously, I am very happy with him! He is caring, reliable, and trustworthy! My doggie simply loves Isaac! I highly recommend him!
I wouldn’t trust my dog with anyone else. Loving care, great food, trips to the dog park are alll included. AND Isaac sends photos and videos so I can truly relax.!! Who could ask for anything more?
Isaac is the best dog(🐕) sitter we have used and the following are the pro/cons: Pro: 1) Takes our dogs to the small dag park every day - our dogs love it 2) All three of our dogs love Isaac to death and cry for him and are supper excited every time we drop them off or they see him at the dog park 3) Isaac owns his own dogs and the way he cares for them is impressive. He treats the 🐕 he sitts with the same love and care 4) Our dog love playing with Issac's dogs 5) Isaac took care of a dog from an owner who was dying of cancer - her last wish was for someone that really loves her dogs adopt it and he made that happen 6) Our dogs get lots of exercise and return exhausted 👍🏼 Cons: 1) Isaac spends lots of time at the dog park with the dogs especially when the weather is good

When we were planning to go away for over 2 weeks we turned to Michelle to stay at our house and take care of our anxious rescue dog, Stevie. We were so nervous leaving her but Michelle was truly amazing throughout the whole process. She came to meet with us and Stevie twice before the trip and Stevie took to her almost immediately (which is not something that happens often). Michelle calmed both our nerves as well as Stevie’s. She is on anxiety medications twice a day which Michelle handled without problems and she was in contact with us daily with pupdates and pictures. I honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our fur baby was being taken care of with the same level of attention and affection as she would get from us. Michelle is a true gift to the pets she cares for and the families who hate to leave them.
Michelle took excellent care of my three cats while I was away for 10 days. I felt completely comfortable with her in my house after observing her attention to detail, connection to my animals, and professional vet tech experience. The contract presented covered every detail, including natural disaster and emergency care, which put me at ease. She was in consistent contact with me, sending photos, videos, and updates on my three babies. I had such peace of mind being gone knowing she was engaging in play with them, and food/water was monitored. She was committed to keeping them and my house safe. (bonus points for returning to super clean house!) Thank you Michelle - you truly love your job and it shows.
Michelle took great care of our dog when we were out of town for nearly a week. Our dog can be difficult to walk and has pretty severe separation anxiety, but the whole week went great without any incidents. Michelle kept us updated with photos and videos which definitely helped with our own separation anxiety. Thank you Michelle!
Michelle made sure our cats were well fed and groomed. They were obviously happy and healthy when we returned. Michelle kept us updated with daily texts and photos and I felt comfortable that the cats and my house were in good hands.
Michelle is the best pet sitter we've had. We've come home to happy cats each time we've been away on a trip. When one of our cats passed away, and we had to leave town shortly thereafter, Michelle took special care with our other cat who was lonely after losing his friend. Michelle went the extra mile to not only make sure he was kept company and was adjusting OK, but to make sure that the two cat parents who were distraught over leaving him for the weekend knew that he was in good hands. She's wonderful.
We left our two Maltese’s for Michelle to fully take care of. She let us know daily how they were and sent us pictures of both as they were enjoying their time with her.We felt close to them even though we were away.When we got home they were happy and clean and happy to see us.I highly recommend Michelle as a knowledgeable and capable sitter that you can trust with your loving pets.
I am not normally a negative review writer, but my experience with my 2 special needs dogs and Pet-Tech Sitting by Michelle was awful enough to warrant doing this. It's actually difficult to know how to structure this, as there were so many issues. 1) She couldn't get pills down for our dogs. She's a vet tech. Doses were missed, and she was constantly texting me about it, rather than finding a solution. 2) I paid $3,500 for a week of service (7 nights and 8 days). She was still taking other pet sitting appointments, and was gone for approx 8.5 hours on our second night away. She had made us aware she was going to a concert, but not for that duration of time. Had it not been for our neighbors to feed and give them pills (and clean up after them), it could have been a disaster. 3) She thought that one of our dogs, who had just had surgery, was in pain and asked to take her to the vet. I arranged it, she then threatened to charge me extra to take the dog to the vet. When Mindy was ready to be picked up, her response was 'I can be there in an hour or 2.' 4) On our final day away, we had agreed that she would leave at 6pm. Then, in the middle of the night before we were meant to come home, she texts me saying 'oops I'm leaving at 1pm', thus leaving our dogs home alone for 9 hours. I reiterated our agreement, to which she did not care. Again, if it weren't for our neighbors helping out, we would have been screwed. 5) This is general: she would send VERY aggressive and long text messages, quite often. Her manner of communication was terrible, and I honestly wanted to leave the trip early as I had zero trust in her or her ability. Please, if you are looking for a sitter, don't hire this person, especially if your dogs have special needs, have just had procedures, etc. If I could give her less than one star I would.
Michelle was wonderful. She kept up with us and sent photos & videos of our babies playing. They were SO happy when we got home, which means they had a wonderful time when we were gone! It's nice to know they are in good hands, and with Michelle they are!
Very happy to have Michelle pet sit for us! We come home to a very happy, calm cat. Her regular updates are nice. We feel well taken care of as her clients.
Michelle takes wonderful, loving care of our cats

This place is beyond awesome! We took our Shiba Inu to the place when we visited Universal Studio. Shan and Dan's dogs are all really sweet and nice, our baby really enjoyed playing with them and he even cried when we picked him up because he had so much fun there and didn't want to leave! Definitely would recommend this place if you ever need to bring your dogs to daycare.
This place is awesome!! My pup was so happy while staying there, she meet new friends. The sitters were very responsive to text mesaages, even sent some pictures so that we can see what my lil one was doing. We will definitely be back when we visit CA again.
On vacation from our Las Vegas home, we have the extreme good fortune to find HOUNDS OF THE HILLS where we boarded our three little dog babies for a week. They were so loved, had much attention, many walks and really had a fun time. This place has no equal....it is simply the best.
Our Dog had a great time. The owner was very friendly. She met all of our expectations and more. The next time I am in California I will be taking my dog here for sure!
They took very good care of our pups while we went to universal studios.
Our dog Jerry loves coming here! Always comes home exhausted from time at daycare.
Best place to leave your furry friend, and very covenant if going to Universal Studios!
STGreat people to care for your four legged family member while the rest of the family is visiting Universal Studios.
Very kind and flexible
Great people!

Jose is amazing with Toby… Toby looks forward to his daily walks with Jose and love that we have no rain coming up because Toby misses him when we do. Communications is amazing with Jose, super flexible and reliable. We would recommend Jose for your fur babies at home!!!!
Jose is trustworthy, reliable and an indispensable support for our family. He is available, responds immediately and always sends us pictures when he’s with our dog. We live close by and he has been great with short notice visits as well. I would highly recommend Jose to take care of your pet when your gone.
Jose is great! He was able to take care of my fur baby with such a short notice. Jose took the time to meet my dog to make him feel comfortable during his stay. Took him on multiple walks and sent me pictures of my baby’s day, which made me more comfortable. Thank you Jose!!
I never worry about my cats when Jose is looking after them. Jose has been my pet sitter for the last three years. He kindly sends updates and pictures of what the cats are doing. As a bonus he brings in the trash cans if it’s trash day. Jose really helps reduce the stress of travel. I am happily recommending Jose.
Jose is the most incredible dog sitter I’ve ever used. I don’t have the easiest dogs, and it’s always a challenge to find someone who has such calm energy that gets them to listen and relax. He gives updates with each visit with photos, and most importantly, my dogs adore him!
Jose is our go to for watching and caring for our dogs. He is completely responsible reasonably priced and trustworthy. Hire him and you wont regret it!!!
I called Jose ‘s reference s and immediately felt comfortable because they all adore him as we now do and our cats love him its nice to feel comfortable with the person you trust with your pets and I highly recommend Jose!

We have been using them for dog walks and home stays for years. Love them. However we just started taking our husky puppy for daycare. What a goddess send! He gets to play and rest all day when I have to go to work and is sooo happy.
Pooch Buddies has be excellent to communicate with during our many years of arranging cat visits for our out-of-town trips. Janet is very responsive via email for requests and billing. We also got daily text updates about how our cat was doing and a happy picture of our furry friend. I would highly recommend their services for looking after your cat!
Janet and team are the best dog and cat sitters around. I totally trust them with my dogs and cats--they truly love animals vs just doing a job. I highly recommend them.
The best place for your pooch to stay!
Thank you, Kathy!

We would definitely recommend Uncle Jeff's to everyone.

He provides my big 130 lb white American bulldog with the same care an affection he shows for all animals, your pet will love the experience
Uncle Jeffs is one of the best animal boarding and pet sitting services I have encountered The owner Jeff is very professional and really easy to talk to he fully understood all my concerns about my pets and assured me everything would be fine he is a former Vet tech so he knows how to handle any emergencies that might arise.which put my mind at ease because my pets are getting up there in age so I would want someone who knows what their doing taking care of them in my absence . Thank you DS

Happy Heart Pet Care and TEAM!!!! Is there any other substitute? I don’t think so!!! When it comes to my Pixie girl, I have a very difficult time trusting. Happy Heart put all of my concerns to ease. They are always accommodating and able to watch my little girl, even at the last minute. I highly recommend giving them a try, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Anna Marie
I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful Anna Marie is with our pup, Lucy. She’s extremely knowledgeable about how to care for dogs, flexible with my timings, and just an overall pleasure to talk to. We recently picked Lucy up from a 16-day stay, and not once over that period was I worried about how she was doing. Anna Marie went above and beyond - she sent frequent photos and videos, brushed her out daily, worked on commands, and even took it into her own hands to figure out what food Lucy needed when she was being a picky eater. To tell you that I was such at ease knowing she was in Anna Marie’s care is an understatement. I am so grateful to have found her and Happy Heart Pet Care. Don’t think twice about booking your pet here!
I am an EXTREMELY over protective Dog Mom to my 5 yo French Bull Dog Brodie. I have been searching for a dog sitter and trainer for him as long as I can remember, but I’ve never been satisfied leaving my fur baby until I found Happy Heart Pet Care. I will say I love to spoil my boy and only the best will do, however, this also meant he got away with a lot more behavioral wise then he should. So I needed to find someone knowledgeable that I could trust with my boy… I haven’t been able to find someone reliable that not only had the experience to help train Brodie, but that I felt comfortable trusting to care for him. Anna Marie checks all the boxes. She not only has helped with Brodie’s training, but I trust her to care for him as if he was her own. She is truly our dog nanny! Brodie loves Anna Marie and he has become such a better behaved boy since he was introduced to her training and care. Having a person who not only will train your dog, but love them the way you would is priceless. He respects her and she has a great relationship with my boy teaching him with obedience training and socialization. All the dogs she cares for are very well behaved so he has her pack to learn from as well. She also is a great resource for a number of suggestions and advice with regard to your pets health and well being. She is always the first person I call or text to ask any questions with regard to his health or needs, which is invaluable. She is one of the most kind and understanding people I’ve met in LA and I have no doubt I would ever find someone who cares or loves Brodie more as a trainer or dog nanny than her. Needless to say I highly recommend Happy Heart Pet Care. Your life will be easier with your dog if you use her, trust me!
So grateful to have found Happy Heart Pet Care--they are the best! I have an adopted pound dog who is super skittish (and bark-y) with new people and for the past 4+ years, has not been comfortable with other dogs. She LOVES Anna-Marie and Matthew and, after just three visits, she is already changing in wonderful ways--less skittish with new people and excited to play with other dogs, which I never thought possible. Anna-Marie is incredibly kind and accommodating, thoughtful about introducing new dogs to their environment, and thoughtful of skittish human owners, sending them photos of their happy dogs. I contacted them because of the consistently amazing Yelp reviews (a rare thing), without realizing they're on the west side of LA. My dog and I are way on the east side, but still travel there because knowing my pup is safe and happy with people she loves and who genuinely care is worth everything.
Matthew and Anna Marie are both so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about dogs. Their love for our 9week old Darcy is so heartwarming! I certainly had my concern leaving a young puppy with other people for a week, but Matthew and Anna Marie stayed very communicative. They also helped me on getting to know/adjust for a puppy. I could see Darcy was so well cared for through photos/detailed text updates. Truly appreciate their existence 💙
Anna-Marie took care of my 1 year old shih tzu puppy, Tater Tot, for almost 3 weeks while we were away. She was wonderful as she was very flexible with drop off/pick up times, and gave Tater Tot lots of love but also trained him! Tater is much more calm and well behaved now! He was brushed everyday, made many new dog friends, and enjoyed his walks. Anna-Marie updated us with cute photos and videos of him and we can’t wait to have him back with her again!
Where do I start? So thankful for Matt and Anna Maria. Matt has been a life saver with behavior modification with my sweet girl Cocoa. Cocoa is a hyper-vigilant rescue pit, with a few social challenges. Matt not only was able to with patience and professionalism, earn her trust, and help with her behaviors, he was also able to teach me, ways to manage when she and I are in the wild. He is very hands on, and teaches key fundamentals when handling a dog, and working with the world around them. I literally on multiple occasions have been able to handle situations without panic and stress due to Matt’s training. Cocoa also has been managing her stress better as well. You are equipped with the knowledge literally after just one session, the most rewarding thing is seeing the transformation in Cocoa. She has come such a long way. Happy Heart Pet Care has been a blessing. I highly recommend. 10 out of 10!
I highly recommend this company not just as a dog trainer but for all your pet care needs. They do training, dog sitting, walking, and even cat sitting. They are highly experienced and had my aggressive rescue dog showing improvement after just a few sessions! I’ve also used their services when traveling. They send updates on the pup and make sure he is very well taken care of. Highly recommend them!!
We found Anna Marie on Yelp and trusted the good reviews she had- it was the first time we left our puppy with someone she didn't know and in another city. We loved Anna the first moment we met her, she was super kind, and you could tell she had a lot of knowledge and experience with dogs. We saw our puppy liked her from the very beginning and felt safe with her- we left her one full day and, when we picked her up, she was super happy and looked like Anna took great care of her. I highly recommend her; she is amazing!
Matthew & Anna Marie are fantastic! They started working with my bullmastiff puppy December 1, 2023 and my puppy has grown into such a wonderful, friendly, obedient dog with the kindness & training from Happy Heart Pet Care. I trust them 100% and my pup loves the time he gets to spend with them. Many thanks to them for all the support & help. Sam
