Service: Doggy daycare service, pet sitting service
I met Pedro about 5 years ago when I lived near his doggy daycare. Our dog went to his daycare every day of the week because they took very well care of the dogs and our dog absolutely loved it. We moved, and now when we go on holidays our dog is always taken care of by Pedro as a pet sitter, he is amazing with dogs and we completely trust our dog blindly with him. He became throughout the years a very good acquaintance for us and I would recommend him to others.

Service: Recurring weekly dog training sessions
I started dog training with Igor about two weeks ago, once a week, and it has been very good. He is a very good teacher and I’m very satisfied with this. My dog is behaving very nice now and we will continue. I definitely recommend him.

Service: Trained my scared rescue dog with behavior problems
Finding Ana was a huge relief when I was struggling with my scared, adult rescue dog. She was incredibly understanding and communicated in a way that made both me and my dog feel safe. Now, my dog is relaxed and happy, and I'm grateful for the bond and trust we've built together.

Service: Dog training and caretaking
Meeting Tatjana in the park was a game-changer for my dog and me. Her patience and expertise shine through in every interaction, and she's always ready with updated advice. I appreciate her dedication, especially as she's been there for me during long work hours, ensuring my dog's happiness and safety.
