Pet Sitters in North Richmond, CA

I am so pleased with Happy Hound dog boarding services. My mixed breed, fixed pup has been boarded at this facility for 3 to 5 nights at a time since I rescued him in August 2023. I love the staff! So many kind, friendly, competent people. Buddy loves his extended family! He is always so excited to meet and hang out with new friends, and full of energy and happy when we reunite. The rules are very clear, and easy to follow. We appreciate the care given to placing Buddy in the most appropriate hangout group. Love the report cards, photos, and the live Webcam. I value feeling secure about my Bud when I have to be away , and the location makes it so easy to access.

I meant to add some comments to my review that I just posted but I hit the return button too soon! I wanted to say that today I brought Boo Boo, our new dog in for an evaluation and was so impressed with not only the facility, but the staff. All the dogs there were busy and having fun and I will definitely be bringing Boo Boo here when we leave daycare or boarding. Another Happy customer for Happy Hound!

Amazing facility and super friendly and welcoming staff. My dog has moderate to severe separation anxiety, and after just two days of daycare now LOVES going to Happy Hound. The first day, she barked and jumped at the door awhile, and the second day she relaxed and even made a friend! The webcams are such a thoughtful and fun addition to the experience so that the humans can see how much fun their dogs are having. I am so grateful for the attentive staff who assured me and my husband that our fur baby would do well and thrive at daycare. So happy we found this incredible place!

Our pups Cy and Luna love going to Happy Hound for doggy daycare and boarding. The staff are superb and we couldn’t ask for a better team to care for our beloved dogs. We’ve used their training program for both dogs and it is worth every penny spent.

It was very easy to find information online and also call to ensure I understood the requirements and timeline. Once I was able to book the assessment, Sabrina greeted us and was very sweet to my dog! It was our first time ever at a daycare so my dog was very hyped. Sabrina gave me a tour and facilities were very clean and all dogs seemed very happy to be there. Personally love that you can watch the dog spaces live on their website.

Absolutely love Happy Hound! I’ve used them for daycare, boarding, training and grooming. No matter the service, dogs LOVE going there - they get so so excited when we pull in the parking lot. And I love how tired and happy they are when I pick them up :-) highly recommend!

This spot has always been great for our pooch and their updated facility has plenty of safe, clean space for our 12y/o big guy with two ACL repairs. This was our first time leaving him more than a few days. I was apprehensive leaving him for a week and a half but they were awesome about letting us hold the dates without stress and when he lost a couple pounds within the first few days (apparently very common even if they’re eating well since he’s so accustomed to lazy days and less stimulation) they notified us (via text which was awesome) and asked if they should make any adjustments to his feeding. They even allowed us to ship his normal food there via Amazon to up his portions a bit instead of pressuring us into buying their toppers which would have also been a fair option. Really impressed with this place and their prices are totally reasonable for the great work they do for our fuzzy family members.

Cleopatra our Great Dane spent 3 weeks at Happy Hound for training. She was treated very well and came home in excellent health and spirits. The training is effective and she behaves better now.

My furbaby, myself and my hubby LOVE this place. It became my dog's second home. They have been a homesaver! We rescued a puppy this May, and then suddenly..stay at home dogdad needed to go on a business trip. Happy Hound welcomed our puppy with welcome arms. She made fast friends and is so happy to go there. She gets lots of exercise, stimulation, and safe play time. They have an excellent user friendly client portal that allows you to book boarding, daycare, spa treatments, training and more! We currently are doing a 14 day dream doggie training program. Her graduation is Sunday and we have lovedthe experience so far. We get regular pics, vids, and updates. She looks extremely happy and focused. We were able to get so much done around the house while she was out, and have the comfort of mind knowing that she's in expert loving hands! Would absolutely 💯% recommend this place. My neighbors all know of it and are jealous that we got in! It's a local legend. Best of all.. she knocks out.. sleeping so soundly when she comes back home!

Happy Hound took great care of Piero! They were flexible with my schedule when I needed to drop him off a little early, and coordinated with a local vet to make sure he could get his Canine Flu shot in time for his grooming appointment. His haircut looks beautiful!

Fetch made is so easy to find a great sitter for our dogs. Ours dogs loved the company each night while we were out of town. Would highly recommend!

Fetch has become my go-to dog walking service over the past couple of years. It’s easy to schedule dog sitters and I’ve been able to use the same two wonderful walkers, giving me great peace of mind. Robyn, the owner, is wonderful to communicate with, and I’m also able to communicate directly with my dog walkers. The status reports with pictures and updates for each visit are so thoughtful and appreciated. Fetch is the best. I’ll keep coming back! 🎾

We had the most wonderful pet sitter through Fetch! She was so attentive and her updates were charming and detailed and so much fun for us to read - and the photos were fantastic! We were able to relax on our trip knowing our kitties were in very capable and conscientious hands. Cannot recommend Fetch more highly.

I’ve been a client of Fetch for several years and I would highly recommend them to any pet owner. We use Emily to visit our three cats and could not be happier. Prompt, professional, trustworthy. What else could anyone want.

Fetch is a truly great company with a wide variety of services, reliable and caring staff, quick response rates, and reasonable rates. I’ve used them for several years and have never had a problem.

Fetch! were a huge help when we were staying at Cavallo Lodge with our dog and needed someone to come to the hotel and stay with her on New Year's Eve. They found a perfect match for our pup. They were responsive and very professional and our sitter put us (and our pup) quickly at ease that our pup was in good hands. We would definitely use them again.

Fetch! Always takes care of our two cats! They always manage to fit us in with a pet sitter even at the last minute. Really helpful company. Would recommend highly.

We have used Fetch Pet Care for our 17 year old poodle. Because of her age she needs a little extra TLC. Fetch has proven very dependable and kind with out dog. They kept us posted while we were out of town how she was doing and contacted us with any questions. Our house was left in perfect condition and we came home to a very well cared for dog.

We moved to Sonoma 2 years ago and feel so lucky to have found our petsitter Lois, through Fetch. She's reliable, caring and easy to work with. Our two older cats now require medication and Lois has been very accommodating with their changing needs. Most importantly, the kitties are completely comfortable around her and we feel good knowing we've left them, and our home, in capable hands.

We have been using Fetch for many year to care for our cats while we travel. It has always been a great comfort to know that the pets we loved were being so well cared for. The daily journals and pictures we received showed are cats as active and happy. The litter is always clean when we return. In addition, our plants had been watered and mail taken in. Once, part of a tree fell in our yard, and the pet sitter texted us pictures, which allowed us to schedule tree service as soon as we got home. Our current pet sitter is a delight to work with. We sometimes think our cat is disappointed when we return. In short you could not do better than using Fetch for your petcare needs.

My best friend, Rosie the labradoodle, is a high energy kind of girl, so I make sure she gets plenty of exercise and socialization. Recently I found the doggie daycare at North Main Pet Lodge, which also does boarding. The good news is that Rosie loves her stays there, and I have complete confidence in the owners and staff, who are both friendly and professional. The lodge is not fancy but both the kennels and the play areas are clean and perfect for an active girl like Rosie. Highly recommended.

I have taken my two dogs to the pet lodge for several years now. The staff is wonderful and professional . I have the highest level of trust in them .

What I love most about the pet lodge is how thoughtful Chris, Colleen, and all of their friendly staff are to help create a comfortable stay for all types of doggy personalities. Highly recommend for both boarding and daycare services. Thank you North Main Pet Lodge!

This business used to be the best for your pet services, but since it's changed ownership, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. We have a huskie, and before the change of ownership, our dog Dee loved loved loved this place, but since the change of ownership, the 1 time we took our dog, when we went to pick her up... she was crying and didn't even come up to us, and ran straight to our car 😞 this was heartbreaking for us. She was depressed for 3 days after we brought her home. Dee is usually a happy go lucky, fun loving dog, so this was disturbing for me. We miss the old owners....

I have been taking my dog Jasper to North Main Pet Lodge for 6 months and I’m extremely pleased with the quality of their services. Chris and Colleen have a lot of experience working with pets and it is evident by the care and attention they give each of their customers. I especially like that there are supervised play times to ensure everyone plays safely. I trust the care of my pet for both daycare and overnight boarding with North Main Pet Lodge!

We love North Main Pet Lodge and have used it for our cat for the last 8 years. The cat facilities are large and the enrichment provided by staff keeps our cat happy. We know he is safe and well looked after which gives us peace of mind. This is all besides the fact that the owners and staff are responsive, friendly and caring :)

Really pleased with North Main Pet Lodge, especially the good care and personal attention they gave our dog during his stay. This is a family owned operation, and they really know what they are doing. Will definitely be back -- this is now our preferred dog sitter! I especially like the upgrade options they offer for overnight stays, including 1 on 1 time with the dog, group play, various walks, and evening treats. We signed up for a couple of those extras, and they noticed which ones were effective for our dog and which ones weren't as effective. They proactively adjusted the play time so that our dog could do what he likes best (which also saved us some money). We also know exactly what to sign up for next time. The kennels are a very good size (4 ft wide by 15 ft deep indoor/outdoor area separate with a wall and doggy door).

We have been kenneling our dogs here for quite a few years. They have always been happy and healthy when we've picked them up. Owners are very nice and personable. They even managed to make my horribly unfriendly toy poodle like them. She hates everyone! They are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. I highly recommend them. Of note, when one of our dogs passed away from lymphoma in March, they were nice enough to send a condonence card.

Love it! Well taken care of. Great experience. We’ve been using them for almost 4 years. We have a old rescue cat. She needs a lot of extra love. Comes back very happy and adjusted. Owners are very personable and respond quickly. Great prices for the area.

Our 9 year old German Shepherd was recently diagnosed with intestinal cancer and we were afraid to board her. We left her at North Main Pet Lodge for 5 nights and she did fantastic!!! Chris and Colleen make you feel so at ease! We love this place and so does our dog!

Jim and Benny are like family to us. I wouldn't have been able to have raised this pup (Robbie) without them. From the very beginning they invested in his well-being and social, physical, and mental growth. He learned to swim at their cabin in the Russian River Valley and made lifelong friends at Alamo that I'm sure he misses quite a bit now that we've moved out of San Francisco. It's really challenging finding a place for pups to interact in a safe and fun environment, especially off-leash. Robbie is one of the most friendly and well-behaved pups in our neighborhood, which we owe in large part to Jim, Benny, and Tom for caring for him day after day while we were working. We're so grateful for the friendship and community that Sniff SF gave us and miss them every day! Much love, Mark, Stephanie & Robbie

The Sniff San Francisco team are truly my partners when it comes to taking care of my 2+ year-old Cavapoo, Lola. She joined the Sniff "puppy head start" program at 10 weeks, and has been walking, playing and boarding with Jim and Benny, and their excellent, attentive and loving team ever since. During her time in puppy head start, the Sniff team got Lola used to the sights and sounds of the city, exposed her to plenty of people and dogs, and taught her foundational commands, which they continue to practice with her. They have been especially thoughtful in their approach to getting her to play with the other dogs in her pack since she can be a bit reserved. The entire Sniff team has been so loving and sweet to Lola, from her longtime walkers, Sabrina and Devin, to newer pals like Tom and Eleanor. Jim, Benny, and team are knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated to understanding Lola, making her feel safe, and making sure she is safe. Finally, Jim, Benny and team are excellent and diligent communicators. I appreciate their updates and informative texts. The photos and videos they share of Lola zooming, playing with other dogs (or Sabrina's hands), or being serenaded by Jim always make my day. I highly recommend working with the Sniff SF team. They are THE BEST!

There are no better dog walkers in San Francisco. I've been with Jim and Benny since very early on, and they have just been wonderful to my dog. My dog is a little over 12 years old, and he is in phenomenal shape, due almost entirely to the attention of Sniff. He has little to no arthritis, his eyes are great, and just recently I completed a hike of the Lost Coast with him in two days, which is a 25 mile beach hike. That's insane. He is also more people oriented than dog oriented, and needed some behavior modification for being a jerk to other dogs in the beginning, and Sniff were able to quickly iron it out and make him a more tolerant member of the pack. They also made him an incredible leash walker. He wasn't terrible to start with, but he wasn't good. He is such a cordial leash walker now. I miss them. We moved to Spain, which is exciting and wonderful, but I always knew that my dog was getting a huge amount of exercise and attention while I was at work in SF when Sniff came by. It'll be hard to measure up out here. Like everyone else, I'm so glad I found them.

We can't say enough amazing things about Sniff. Roo has been part of their pack for a year and a half and we've been so impressed by the level of care. Not only does she have a great time and get in a ton of exercise (as we get to watch every day on Sniff's IG Stories), but we've also seen so much behavioral improvement thanks to the Sniff team's dedicated training. They genuinely love and care for each dog, and have been an amazing support system - they went above and beyond when Roo was experiencing some scary health issues. We take so much comfort in knowing that Roo is in amazing hands whether it's during her weekday walks or boarding at Chez Sniff while we're out of town. Thank you to Benny, Jim, Dan, Ben and the whole Sniff crew!

I highly recommend Sniff–my dog and I love them. My dog is picked up by his regular dog walker 5 days a week and walked to a park where he plays with similarly sized dogs in his play group, and then walked home. So, no car pick ups where the dogs might fight, and no risk of carjacking with precious cargo inside. Jim and Benny are the owners of the business and they are the kindest, nicest people, plus, they love dogs! They are extremely careful about who they hire to help handle the dogs, and treat their employees with respect (the staff receive paid time off and benefits.) I receive a daily report re my dog’s play session–who he played with, his mood and activity level, how his potty was, and any behavioral issues. The Sniff team posts adorable daily Instagram videos of the dogs at play, which always make me smile. My dog started off in Sniff’s “puppy prep” program, where Jim and/or Benny have one on one time with the puppy, training the dog leash manners and recall, and exposing the puppy to all sorts of city distractions–Muni, trucks, other dogs, toddlers, skateboarders and strangers. My dog has learned important dog skills through Sniff–how to meet and greet other dogs, how to indicate willingness and unwillingness to play, and rock solid recall. When my dog was two years old, he started being leash reactive, and Jim took us on a walk to show me how to make my dog less fearful. When I travel, I know I can board my dog with Jim and Benny, and he will be a happy pup. The most important thing is that I know my dog is loved and well cared for when he is with Sniff.

We have nothing but great things to say about the team at Sniff. Jim & Benny (the owners) were great from the get-go. We needed walkers for our mini dachshund, Juna, and searched high & low for a team that would provide the utmost level of care for our dog - who doesn't want that for their fur child?!? They were extremely responsive from the beginning: asking a lot of questions during the initial meet & greet and showed a high level of engagement in Juna. They went beyond just being dog walkers and worked with her (and us) to work through some of her anxieties to make her a much more confident and happy dog overall. One of the team members, Ben, was often the one to pick Juna up and whenever he would come and we were home, it was clear how much Juna would light up at the sight of him and say "C'YA DADS!! Time to go have fun with my friends!". Ben, along with the whole team, sent detailed updates of the adventures every day, with pick up and drop off notifications in addition to fun notes about the play session for the day. Sidenote - they go around and pick up all dogs on foot, walk them to a dog park where they meet up with the other team members, and then let all dogs in their pack interact and play with each other and the Sniff team members, and then walk them back home. And they do that for two groups a day. They must walk a million miles everyday - I don't know how they do it!! The nice thing is it's the best of both worlds - your dog gets an on leash walk, along with group socialization at the park. Jim & Benny also boarded Juna and would sent great updates but we were so comfortable it was like leaving her with family. They would take her on adventures to the beach, even I was jealous! They also helped us out a few times we were in a pinch for care - such as taking her for the whole day when she needed to be out of our home for service folks, etc - and were very accommodating in that regard. I could go on and on about how great they are. Unfortunately, we moved to an area of the city where they can't service; I guess they can only walk so far in a day ;) All jokes aside, we were very sad to have to leave them behind as Juna's caretakers, but very highly recommend them to anyone needing dog walking services.

We could not recommend Sniff SF enough! They treat our dog as if she is their own. Every day we receive a friendly, thoughtful and detailed review of how her day went at "school". The entire team has been instrumental in training our puppy to be the happiest and well mannered dog we could ask for. Every morning she waits by the door for her pickup and returns home tired and happy. We can see exactly where she is in real time with their Instagram updates and we love watching her play every day. We've left our dog to board with Jim and Benny at their home on many occasions and never have to worry about how she's doing. They send regular updates with pictures and video to show us all of the fun activities she's doing while we're away. They've taken her swimming, hiking and even on vacation with them. We've started to think our dog enjoys staying with them more than with us! Sniff SF has become part of our family and we don't know what we would do without them. If you're looking for a dog walker, they are the best!!

We love Sniff! They were a second family for our dog, Figg, for the past 3 years and treated her like one of their own. This was true for every single walker that took her to the park (shoutout to Sabrina, Melissa, True, and Eleanor) and with Jim and Benny, who boarded her over long weekends. The Sniff folks go above and beyond, catering the daily sessions to each dog’s needs. Most days they would encourage Figg to play with all her pals; but when she was feeling overwhelmed, they would spend the session cuddling and showering her with love. We have never seen her more excited to see other humans, than when she sees a Sniff walker or Jim and Benny in “the wild”. On top of the daily outings, weekend stays with Sniff were a vacation—they took her to the beach or hiking every day and even bathed her before bringing her home. Lastly, when we started struggling with leash reactivity, Jim, Benny, and Sabrina immediately jumped on the phone with us and set up a training session. Sniff played a pivotal role in raising our pup to be such an affectionate and sweet gal. Plus, never having to worry while we were away was a godsend. We moved out of their service area, otherwise we never would have left the Sniff family!

I have had a wonderful experience working with all members of the Sniff team who have provided outstanding care for my one year old golden retriever, Frankie since I got him at three months old. The level of care, detail, and expertise of their services is unmatched! I highly recommend for dogs of any age and as to the substantial training and guidance I received for puppy care. They are wonderful people who love each of their pups!

We would give Jim, Benny, and the entire Sniff Team a million stars if we could. Our extremely active mini poodle has been with Sniff since he was 4 months old, and Sniff has been a total godsend--from walks, to last-minute dog-sitting, to the most luxurious boarding experience (truly "the happiest place on Earth" for our dog). We have been so impressed by the Sniff team's professionalism, customer service, and--above all--the way they always put our dog's health and safety first. Jim and Benny are incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and require their walkers to identify and help dogs through problematic behaviors. We have had several different walkers, and they've all been great because Jim and Benny hold their team to very high standards. The Sniff team has gone above and beyond to spend time teaching us critical strategies for improving our dog's recall and tackling his leash reactivity. Jim even came over to show us how to build our dog's confidence on walks so he didn't become reactive. The Sniff model is truly a unique service. We love that our dog gets an amazing workout each weekday to-and-from and at the park and is so well socialized to other dogs, humans, and all sorts of urban conditions. We get detailed daily updates and tons of videos/photos. We feel completely at ease that our dog is with his absolute favorite humans when we are away, whether for half a day or two weeks--this is especially so because our dog is an insanely picky eater, and Sniff is simply a pro about following his diet and being so incredibly patient in coaxing him to eat. On our first long vacation, our dog also got very sick, and Sniff took him to our vet. On weekends, Sniff always takes the dogs out for a fun activity (hiking, beach, river). If you go with Sniff, the only thing you might regret is that they become your dog's favorite humans.

What started as a short-term agreement for dog walking services due to having a newborn has blossomed into a long-term relationship; we couldn't be happier! Robbee has been our dog walker for 2.5 years, and our dog Winston absolutely loves her! She is kind, caring, and wonderful with communication. She truly cares about the pets she takes care of. You can find someone to walk your furry family member, sure, but there is a huge difference between someone walking them versus offering a full-service package. Someone who is knowledgeable, experienced, and skilled with a variety of pets. Robbee provides the full-service package. She skillfully and carefully plans out dates and times to take your furry family members out and alerts you when she notices any changes in behavior or health. She makes sure to keep you updated on weather conditions and changes in walking schedules and even has backup help if she may be out of town or unavailable on your regular walking days. Robbee prioritizes safety for your furry family member and even shares recommendations based on your furry family member's specific needs, such as sunscreen for our shorthair or a more secure and comfortable collar. She's flexible when your dates or availability may change and works with you to ensure the best client experience. Robbee has gone above and beyond with her level of care and attentiveness to our dog, Winston. There have been times when we needed someone to host him and we couldn't find someone available to host only one dog during that timeline. She sent several recommendations and even reached out to others in her network to find someone to host; she would have hosted him herself, but Winston, unfortunately, is not good with other dogs. We cannot express how much we appreciate, Robbee! If you are looking for the best experience for your furry family member, we would highly recommend Robbee and GET OUT OF TOWN! Professional Pet Care.

We have been utilizing pet care services for the last 8 months and are very happy! Robbee is very organized and makes sure that a vet service is know, medications, next-of-kin, duplicate keys, everything is considered. It’s so nice to have a professional who knows animals well care for our pet when we are traveling. While also taking great care of our pet, great care is also taken with our home and any issues that may arise. We had an ant situation that was quickly remedied, and we really appreciated that! Robbee also helps out with bins on garbage day and takes care in our house by wearing shoe covers. It’s the small details that really help! Robbee is also great in communicating and quick to respond. Recommend this pet care company!

I seldom gush in reviews, but Robbee has been absolutely instrumental in our lives. Both my husband and I travel waaaayyyy too much, and Robbee has been there, every time, for ten years. She has taken care of all our cats, including three elderly cats that needed extra care and medications. She ensures from the get go that she knows the details of each pet, age, medical issues and what kind of vet care you would want if she finds a pet sick on her visits and can’t immediately reach you. On a few occasions over the years, she has noticed potential security issues with the house and has contacted us to discuss. She has assisted me by scooping litter while I recovered from two surgeries, which gave me the chance to see the delight in her face when one of our foster fail kitten scampered over to get pets from her.

Robbee and her team are so wonderful in watching our 16 year old kitties on our numerous trips. We have been using them since we brought them home when they were 6 months old. They are always accommodating to our schedule. The numerous notes I leave about what is going on with them are always followed. She sends us updates and photos if we are away for longer than a weekend. I would highly recommend Get of of Town for your pets.

For years, Robbee and her team have taken the best care of our fur babies and home while we've been away. We trust her loving nature and professionalism in what our kitties need. We are comforted that they don't notice too much (😂) that we are gone❤️ You can't go wrong with choosing Get Out Of Town😻 …

I've been using GET OUT OF TOWN! for the past seven years, and Robbee is the best. She is trustworthy and dependable and pays attention to the details. She always takes great care of both my resident and foster cats. I never have to worry when I go out of town, and I especially love getting text and picture updates. We've used her dog walking services in the past too, and our dog loved her. Give her a call!

We couldn't ever thank Robbee for all of the care and love she's given our fur babies over the years!! Her and her team have been amazing doing walks/potty breaks for our dogs. She has always treated our dogs like they were her own, and always updates us with great photos and even let's us know if she notices anything off with the pups. As one of our dogs got older, she was so patient while giving him his medicine, even when sometimes it changed multiple times a week! Robbee and her team are simply THE BEST!

I am lucky enough to be able to say I have been a client of Get Out of Town! for nearly 16 years, almost since it started. Prior to that, I used a couple of different pet sitters who were fine, but it wasn't until I moved to the East Bay and discovered Robbee and her company that I experienced truly exceptional care for my animals. I am now spoiled by Get Out of Town! Leaving my pets, especially for my family's two-week annual vacation, is hard and stressful and I'm grateful I know I never have to worry when they are under Robbee and her team's care. The cat I had when I first started engaging Get Out of Town! had diabetes, and it was critical that she received two shots of insulin at the same times each day. Robbee was more than reliable and instrumental in that care when I couldn't be home to administer the shots. Her notes, the photos of my cats she texts to me when I'm away, and her willingness to assist with other tasks like bringing in the mail, watering plants, putting trash cans in/out, are all super helpful. If it's not already obvious, I cannot recommend Get Out of Town! highly enough.

Too much to tell .. she's wonderful efficient and our babies love and remember her.

Kaellyn has been taking our dog on hikes for the past five months, after I met her in a park and noticed what a pro she was and how calm and well-behaved her pack of dogs was. Our Poppy is a bit anxious and doesn’t like to be separated from us. Kaellyn very patiently spent a few weeks taking her on solo walks, letting Poppy get to know her gradually. Now when Kaellyn comes to the door she and Poppy have a big love fest, and Poppy is excited to get in the car to hike with her pack. Kaellyn really understands Poppy’s quirks and works really effectively with her. Kaellyn is also very clear and professional in how she runs her business. There’s never any doubt of what’s expected on both sides. We trust her completely and are thrilled to have found her.

Kaellyn has been our dog walker for over 7 years. Our girl Maddie is absolutely crazy about her, but what I really appreciate is Kaellyn's skill and professionalism. Maddie ain't the easiest dog in the world to deal with, but the videos and updates I often got from Kaellyn showed us just how well she was able to teach and handle Maddie to get her integrated into the pack. Kaellyn was also proactive in her communication with us around both logistics and updates on Maddie. HIGHLY recommended!

Kaellynn has been watching over my three black cats for eight years when I travel. I always arrive home to contented cats; if anything they're somewhat disappointed that it's only me and not Kaellynn. Some of my favorite pictures of my cats were taken by her - they clearly adore her. Kaellynn has also watched over the house. She's handled extended power outages, errant burglar alarms, heavy smoke and other unexpected events above and beyond anything I could have asked. One of the things that impressed me all those years ago when I first met Kaellyn is that she said "this is my business". She takes a very professional approach. She's dependable. She communicates clearly and often. I had other cat sitters before, but none as truly special.

We hired Kaellyn back in April to walk our (then) 13 week-old Goldendoodle puppy to train him to be able to go on her "pack hikes." He quickly got up to speed and was able to join her group hikes 2-3x a week until we moved away from the Bay Area in July. Kaellyn taught me SO much about training and understanding dogs - she truly is a dog whisperer. Her approach worked so well with Lucky that we regretted spending $$$ on group training classes because Kaellyn really was the one who made him the dog he has become - a loving, well-socialized and adaptable boy. Through her hikes and her attention, he became so well-adapted that he had zero issues when we moved across the world to Vienna, Austria in August! I also agree with the other reviewers that Kaellyn is a sound businesswoman as well, incredibly organized, thoughtful and dependable. If we could beam her to Austria, we 100% would!!! She's second to none.

We hired Kaellyn because we needed someone to walk our dog once a day because we both work full time. What we got was so much more than exercise for Bodi. Kaellyn has performed miracles, and has transformed our energetic, sometimes out of control, young dog into a secure, well-behaved dog who listens to what we have to say, and responds appropriately. And I am convinced Bodi is much happier than before, when he did not always know what was wanted or expected of him. Kaellyn helped Bodi understand what was wanted and expected of him in terms of obedience and behavior, and helped us to communicate that clearly to Bodi as well. This consistency allowed our dog succeed, which seems to have produced a happier and more confident dog. Kaellyn cares incredibly about the dogs in her charge and is a hard worker. I recommend her strongly.

Kaellyn is a fantastic dog walker! Kaellyn is super organized, 100% reliable, very dedicated and, best of all, very loving with all the dogs. She provides clear information and expectations. Is always interested in feedback. Writes regular updates and sends pictures and videos of the pack walks my dog attends. She is patient with my dogs issues and always attentive to her needs while balancing the needs of the pack. Highly recommend her!

We met K Lynn when we were walking our two black labs around the neighborhood. The dogs immediately fell in love with her, and she was great with them. Her pack hikes are a treat and a terrific work out for them, and K Lynn always leaves us news about how the dogs did, and any issues that come up. She also emails videos and photos so you get to see your dog(s) on the trail and with the pack. K Lynn clearly loves her work, and knows a lot about training. She gave us the BEST ADVICE we ever received about how to get our younger lab to stop submissive peeing -- her tip worked immediately, and we had tried all kinds of tactics. K Lynn is also an excellent communicator and a very organized businesswoman. Her policies and prices are clear and fair. If you use her, your dogs will love you (and her) for it!

We are very happy with Kaellyn. Our schedules are variable, but Kaellyn has been more than willing to walk our puppy on the days we need. We use a Google calendar to make sure no dates are missed. Ralphie loves the exercise and benefits from the social aspect of the pack hikes. Kaellyn is also great at giving us suggestions such as cutting his paws short during foxtail season or getting a rain jacket for him during rainy season. She does her best to clean off Ralphie before dropping him off, and will let us know if there's anything we need to worry about like ticks on the trail.

Kaellyn has been taking care of our Aussie pup since she was just a few months old. Kaellyn is extremely responsible and focused on making sure our pup gets exercised, is safe on pack walks, and has a great time with the other dogs. Our dog loves Kaellyn and the walks, and is thriving under her care. I can't recommend her strongly enough.

Our dog Lucy has been hiking with Kaellyn 3 times a week for about 6 months now and the experience has been great. Kaellyn is a true dog expert and works regularly on training our dog while hiking. Lucy has been noticeably more well behaved and relaxed around our apartment since she started working with Kaellyn. Kaellyn is also great for us to work with as she is extremely flexible and communicative. I would highly recommend using her services.
