Jeysi and Doggy Lama were so lovely with my dog, Coco! I always got a fun update with photos after her walks and all of their communication was prompt and professional. I can only recommend them!

I have been working with Doggy Llama's trainer Vero Chavez Rojo for almost a year and she is outstanding! Archie, my big rescue shepherd lab mix, is a sweet heart, however, he had a really hard first year of his life and I needed a lot of help with his sensitivity and reactivity. I tried several trainers and Vero's…

We loved working with Vanessa and Tom for her walks. The photo updates and written…

We absolutely love Molly and the whole Doggy Lama team! From the very beginning, Molly has been so communicative, kind, and flexible and she always sends the best photo updates that brighten our day. When Wilma first started going to Molly, she was a shy and timid pup who wasn’t comfortable being off leash. Over…

We've been so lucky to have Molly in our dog's life for several years now and she is the best. I feel so fortunate to have found Doggy Lama Pet Care when our other dog sitters had to move away. I wanted a long term replacement for our pup and that's what Molly and her crew have been. She always communicates in a…
