Here’s what our clients have to say!

They Are Extremely Competent!

I’ve used Katie and her staff for more years than I can remember. They are extremely competent, flexible, professional. Our family (dogs and humans) couldn’t be safe without them.

Katie Simplifies Things

Katie simplifies things and gives all the tools you need to have a better behaved dog, and in the process shows you how to learn things about your dog!
-Christian Hernandez

Dances With Dogs Is The Best!

Dances with Dogs is the best!! I have used their dog walking services for many years and am always happy with their work. They are reliable, caring and go the extra mile (no pun intended) to make sure my dog is happy and enjoys his walks, treats and hugs. They have helped me through many difficult times by taking care of my hound when I’m not able. I highly recommend Katie and her staff.

Best trainer in town!

Best trainer in town! We are so happy and grateful to have found Katie and her team to help guide us with our pup. Not only is she a true professional, but her knowledge, patience, and kindness truly makes a world of a difference. Not only has our pup learned better behaviors, but so have we! Truly a wonderful experience working with Katie and her team! –Stephanie Trejos

They are loving , understanding, and flexible

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness, Value
First speaking with Katie and then working now with Sarah for many weeks, I can wholeheartedly say this entire experience has been amazing. They are loving , understanding, flexible and truly want your pup to get as much out of the training as possible. They go above and beyond to help with suggestions and follow up. I can’t say enough great things about them!!! My puppy absolutely adores Sarah, his trainer, and so do we! –Maria Wuerl

Reliable, knowledgeable, flexible and fun

Positive: Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness
I can not say enough wonderful things about Dances With Dogs. We were lucky enough to have Mia as the trainer assigned to our puppy LouLou. Mia is a GEM. She had LouLou pegged from the beginning and she taught LouLou and us so much. LouLou is a smart, curious Whoodle puppy who fell in love with Mia. We called Mia her “tutor”. Mia is reliable, knowledgeable, flexible and fun. Dances with Dogs is the creme de la creme of training and we will keep them in our dogs life forever. –Julie Lambert

I cannot thank Katie enough

I was referred to Katie by my veterinary behaviorist to work with my three-year-old dog’s fear and reactivity. Katie worked with the two of us to teach us techniques to provide her and me with the ability to confront her fears and take the necessary steps towards overcoming them. She treated my dog with nothing but patience and kindness, always making sure that she was as comfortable as possible and never pushed her beyond her limits or into a situation she was unable to handle. After our training sessions, my dog has already become so much more confident than before. I cannot thank Katie enough for her guidance and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking help with a fearful or reactive dog! –Allison Benitez

We totally recommend her!

We adopted a little toy poodle with a very sad and traumatic background. She was terrified of everything and wouldn’t stop whimpering at night. We had bought Calming Care, Rescue Remedy for Dogs, Adaptil and more, and nothing seemed to work. We didn’t know what else to do so we looked for a trainer and found Dances for Dogs on Thumbtack. We wrote them a long message with everything we were experiencing with our dog. Katie immediately replied with her phone number and we ended up having a long conversation. We immediately knew we were talking to an expert who had training in animal behavior so we decided to schedule a session. Katie was SO patient with us and with our little anxious dog. She taught us about body language and gave us a lot of helpful ideas and information to make our dog feel more comfortable. We liked Katie so much that we ended purchasing a package. With time, patience, and practice, our dog became more calm, extremely social with other dogs, less anxious around other people, and finally slept through the night. Katie also taught us about basic commands, gave us ideas about puzzle toys and other ways to keep her mind engaged in something else other than her anxiety. Our dog is doing so much better now and we have to thank Katie for a lot of her progress. We totally recommend her! –AE

Sincerely care about your pets!

I have used this company for nearly 12 years. They are now like family. Very good about responding or phoning with any questions or concerns. Please don’t consider any other pet sitter but this one. They are reasonable, reliable and sincerely care about your pets!

Best value and service around

Dances with Dogs has been my pet sitter since 2010. I am a business owner who travels, with frequent schedule changes, and Dances with Dogs handles my situation with professionalism that is unmatched by any other pet sitting or kenneling arrangement. Additionally, in the course of the last six years, DWD has cared for two of my very elderly pets with compassion and a brand new puppy. I never worried when they were in charge. BEST VALUE AND SERVICE around. If you want professional service, this is it.

Dances with Dogs is terrific

Dances with Dogs is terrific and I completely trust them with my dog and in my home. I’ve been using Dances with Dogs for several years. Katie is very responsible, professional and loving.

“devoted and individualized service”

They offer very devoted and individualized service. The owner is very devoted to making sure that every detail is just how you want it and is very careful to make me, as the client, happy when caring for my pet. I would have no hesitation, whatsoever, using them.

“2 thumbs up”

I would give the service 2 thumbs up!!! The dog sitting was GREAT! I really loved that they have nothing on their car that announces ‘dog-sitting.
